Loving Silently
You siphoned me a word, and I began to
Hold upon it.
How beautiful it was
With its warm wet lips of love.
And at four in the morning, it pulled me
Out of bed
Come read me again, it said.
And with all of its stirring
I began to purr
I felt the warmth of its heart
It was so like my own.
It began to unfold its limbs
And i pressed my palms against it.
I sat with it a while
Loving silently.

Silent words can stir-up so many grotty passions, even when you're reading them off a computerr screen or on a piece of paper ~BRYCE
Mr Coast, Sir
Thanks for the comment, very kind! Its true, words can stir all kinds of emotion especially beautiful ones that capture us and resonate with us. I guess, words that stand out and speak to us, even grotty ones i suppose in their own grottying way lol!

Wow
Its a wow from me aswell, thats really kind of you and all the folk. I noticed you had named 'Pablo Neruda' on your blog aswell Linda and meant to mention it earlier. He's one of my favourites too ( for love poetry) and when we read beautiful words like his, we fall in love with them. I do anyway lol! I guess its simular to that! x
Yes Pablo Neruda...He was
Yes Pablo Neruda...He was the first poet I ever read... really, {besides what they made me read back in school}My favorite of his is "Poetry Arrived",.... in search of me"
I could just cry everytime i read any of his words...even the tomato or the onion poems..they are all love poems dont you think?
he wrote love poems to his wife....does anyone love as much as he? My God he's good.
You're right Debs, when I read beautiful words like his, I fall in love with them too.
So glad to know you like Neruda too!
