Temperance

I wish so hard that uou would just turn around and

spark my heart

 light the fuse that explodes the suns stars and moons

from out of my tempered heart, 

to give a word spoken in that one way,

to touch with that delicate intent

to reach for me

and fight for me

and pull me away

from these empty phantasms calling to my sex

release me. 

Open me up to the universe

and let me explode with with mystical madness 

let me paint with colours the endless sky

save me from this fortified heartened mess 

My love, light me with your fire! 

The one that she brings back alight .

A mistake of most all good

A mistake of most all good parenting is to skip teaching the child how to distinguish the "forest from the trees"....all inside of us. We desire procreation way too soon on the average life, and wisdom arrives way too late in most instances. You are a forest of wisdom, Ssmoothest. You outreach youself always in your words, and hopefully not in actuality ;-)

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

You're going to cause my

You're going to cause my heart to skip a few beats. I was wiggling my toes while reading this one. (Oh yeah! I like it.)

I wish so hard that you would

I wish so hard that you would just turn

around and spark my heart

light the fuse that explodes the sun’s stars

and moons from out of my heart, 

to give a word spoken in that one way,

to touch with that delicate intent

to reach for me

and fight for me

and pull me away

from these empty phantasms

calling to my sex

release me. 

Open me up to the universe

and let me explode with mystical madness 

let me paint with colors the endless sky

save me from this fortified heartened mess. 

My love, light me with your fire!

I liked this poem. Although not sure “phantasms” fits well because it could be so many things, i.e. – ghosts, spirits, illusions, mirages, fantasies, nightmares, spooks, visions, delusions, etc. Still, the poem is delightful - with great imagery for the psyche. It is also sensually sweet, feminine, seducing, tantalizing in its own “Smoothie” way. Made me smile into a delicate warmth, along with a few ignited combustions that were inherent in the last two lines. Touched my imagination for sure, and set my mind into an inferno that was pleasing within the bonfires of your easily flowing, passionate intensity. It set me ablaze – indeed. Thanks.

Wow! What can I say? Firstly

Wow! What can I say? Firstly so good to see you back, and yes the phases are the empty promises of lovers only out for a good time, empty promises... The last line is about the girl he pines for is it me as my former self or is there another that lights his heart? I like to leave it open to interpolation so glad you found what you found in it. I respect your opinion and can agree. Feel free to insert any other word you feel keeps the meaning for you, fantastic to hear from you! Hugss
