Words, failing our needs,
she cupped my cheek
capturing a moment upon a shell
when waves awake and rise.
Blossom's aroma swirl in the open sky.
Messages escape between cells
as I am called to stillness.
She molds my landscape.
Vision captures electricity,
spakles of light, cascades
feelings will arrive in torrents.
This pause will break --
when it can no longer encompass
sensations waiting for expression --
rush across our sands.
She leans forward
mixes the language of seas
with deep earthy silences.
Breath -- one voice unspoken
life full of prairie winds
promises of tornados in sharing.
Forever slips into corners
keeping the commonplace
from resting in ennui.
This beginning of a kiss
burns a tattoo upon my lips.
I am provided surcrease
by the tip of her tongue.
We create our understanding
one syllable at a time.

It has been a wild week. Poems bursting out all over. Glad you enjoyed this piece. My newest The Hush goes up a notch from this one.

I probably shouldn't do that but there is this joy I am feeling.
Love, Tom B.

Amongst all of the beauty the sensations, this stands out for me:
"This beginning of a kiss
burns a tattoo upon my lips"
I have to confess..this took me out of the spiritual realm..and straight on into the physical
..do not pass go..do not collect $200.00, 
Love, Luna

This dance of love, like most in my experience, crescendoes from the spiritual to the physical and back again. At times, the kiss in this instance there is a second when the physical becomes so immediate that it is the focus of all of our intention. Revelation.
The mind is stilled. The past and the future disappear. We are in the only universe that truly is real, where creations springs forth -- NOW --
Out of the circle of the mind, past creating future and not much changes. $200.00 is not needed and we don't need go or a fresh tank of gas and the relationship is not condemned to exclusivity but celebrates its comittment to creating a living partnership.
I am obviously up to late and getting punchy. Still there is always magic when two lips meet.
Love, Tom B. -

Get some rest, dear Tom
and I will revel in the pureness of my animal nature and the sensation that phrase tattoed in my mind.

I love those lines too. Ever notice how sometimes in your writing you feel gifted, perhaps even more than your audience by what appears as you write. Thanks for sharing your joy with me. Love,Tom B.

I love this. It is like one of your comments here states... you are about longing the woman, where him and most others I can recall are into shorting them Your wording here is simply amazing! I love this.. love love love! "burns a tattoo upon my lips" Now that line speaks so loudly to me. That is a powerful singe indeed! Thanks for loving me enough to share.
-sprinkles fairy dust all over you in hopes of kissing it away-
Love always,
Mel

Yes, I will not deny it. I like to allow myself to be open and fully filled by a woman. I don't yearn, but instead wait for moment of mutual surrender. There are rare, but so wonderful when they occur.It is a space beyond passion. I will pocket the fairy dust for provedental use later
Love, Tom B.

You and I are so different. You are in to longing for a woman and I am into shorting them out. That's the long and short of it. I like the language. Three bunnies.

I just delight in all the sensations. I can be alittle obsessive at times wanting to capture and define a certain sense of a certain awareness. Your right. Right now I am really caught up in the longing aspect. Personally I am like most, just egocentric enough to want what I want when I want it and old enough to know it ain't likely.

Taking it as it comes...one day, one kiss, one word maybe just one glance into the living of this person creates enough wonder to keep you going another day. Her sparkle of life is one of bon vivant now, can see her smile in how you write her. Love, C

Everything has a beginning but not everything ends, sometimes it mutates and claims itself as a new creation. I think I a may have had the first kiss still on my mind. Don't know there is too much going on. Time will tell. Thanks for seeing the beauty and the joy in this. Love, Tom B.

We create our understanding
one syllable at a time.
I have always liked the "one-whatever- at a time" step, word, day. The link of all of those "ones" creates a chain that reaches from one end to another and one can always imagine that someone very important to us is holding the first and the other one the last loink in that chain [thereby being connected] somehow and in some way. As usual....Tom keeps me wanting to read more
much love and best wishes in the contest,

I wrote a few Neruda influenced poems lately. Tried my hand at my old friend prose. This was seeing what happened when I turned to familar ground to see what changes had occured. My sensuality has deepened. My sense of forever and it importance has increased. Most importantly, my ability to share my sensitivity and understanding of being human has most certainly increased. Perhaps that is the hook, this path of discovery about feelings, emotions, caring has words and images that we all can understand and more reflect a light back upon our own hearts making them clearer to ourselves. Most of all, I hopefully deepen awareness that we are not alone. We just haven't learned to speak from this ineffable "now", live from it so we can truly share in and experience our togetherness. But, I ramble. It is good to hear from you. It is wonderful to have the internet back in my house. Love,Tom B.
