listen
i say with my eyes
as i walk towards you.
my footsteps sharply echo 'listen'
i reach out my hand and touch
your arm 'listen'
i say,
my voice still.
there are no silences between us
no empty spaces.
you fill me cell by cell
a hologram repeating
through my senses
wave on wave.
i am a shell
with a seed breaking
through me
as i disintegrate
into the earth
feeding your roots.
and you say
'Watch'
as you stretch up
and away from me.
Keep walking because your feet are talking. Written with a quiet eloquence that is refreshing.
Very good I enjoyed the rhythm created by the use of line length and the sentiments a very romantic poem jim

This little moment made so startling real...such seeing is fascinating and beautiful. It is how I would like to be seen. Such seeing is a caress...such seeing is an act of loving. love Donall Donall
