Validation

Validation     

 

The sheets upon the bed

are a muted validation

of the love we made.

I am hesitant to straighten

their rippled effect,

for fear

it will dismiss you

completely.

[Einstein Noodle]

you have such a marvelous gift of cutting to the chase .. with few words ... that are as striking as they are uncomplicated .. and you wring a depth out of them like no one else can .. another keeper says i!

The sheets
accumulate
they
tangle in a wash
of cortex
cerebellum
into baggage
and dirty laundry

still want your ticket
validated?
;)

Enjoyed
thank you

[Kelly Scheppers]

Are you familiar with NOLA?

New Orleans actually gets more rainfall than Seattle. :)

And I thank you for sharing your talent with us all, Kelly.

Hi gorgeous!!
what a write!! I thought of those tickets we have to validate when we park downtown to behold the beauty of the harbor.
The sensuality of this piece resides within each wrinkle of the sheet rippling the effect in the reader's minds.
love to you honey!!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for the bright spot in my day, darlin!

Yes, love always "dismisses" even the heart to another shore of life - the life lost within heartbeats; within sophisticated darken shades of love dappled 'pon winds. Yes, love dismisses spirits to validation; to the harmony of flattered love; to the notions of hummed whispers... to make night more beloved with love... to make heart more pumped up with the pleasure of sighs so as the spirits could lost inside the silence of love & love takes 'em to the tranquility of night. Beautiful imagery you've come up with. Enjoyed it!

This came to me from the movie, "Unfaithful"...it just stuck! You have such a generous heart, thank you, Adams!
