ANCHOR ME

If we are lucky we find someone who can not only weather our storm but helps us survive them There is an impending storm Bitten lips bleed from refrain Sighs escape building a form Rigid hips can barely maintain Please don’t let me blow away Inside old historical nonsense Anchor me inside your sway Be…

A TANGLE OF NIMBUS EMOTIONS

The day before Valentine’s Day Christopher and Benjamin started this poem.  Each new person added a few lines until a complete poem was created.  I love it and I hope you do too.  I am glad I got to participate and I am sorry it took me so long to post. 🙂 A Tangle of…

It feels so strange To love so much I crave the intimate feeling But fear its emotional touch You say you love me That you are mine But I make up new lines Re-framing your words Inside my mind I make up dialogue, create new context Sending my mind into perpetual loops I try so…

Written by The Reclining Gentleman and HastyWords   I can hear your voice In each word typed I can see your face In each space laid You hold my breath Inside phrases Linger on speech Stroking keys   The rhythmic taps Of your fingers Are like footsteps As you guide me deeper Along the shadowy…
