Lover Mine

lover mine

 

lover mine…he is the thread

through a needle’s eye…the preface

to a book i can never put down…a

crudité of pleasure ever sated upon

my tongue…he is the rush of bated

breath…the wind beneath my tattered

wing…the prayer that brings me to

my knees…he is theStradivarius to

my rosin bow, with eyes of a cerulean

blue …he is the lump in my throat that

beats like the hooves of a thousand steeds…

the hand that rests upon my thigh

on long afternoons of driving north and

yielding slow…the inventory of a stare,

he is…lover mine.

 

 

Author's Note

This is a compilation of phrases I took from some of my poems.

so well put together...they fit as one..

i really like the line about the Stradivarius ----"to my rosin bow"---

a lovely compilation into poem that feels like it all came out at once...as one stream of conscious thought.

It took some finessing to get it to sound like it was one stream of conscious thought. I'm glad it came across that way! Many thanks, J!

There are some recurring images & sensations that come up in my poems more than once, even tho I try to use fresh material every time. Here you inspire us with a creative way to recycle our favorite phrases, the ones that are irresistible & which (taken together) somewhat define the way we describe our world & life experiences. Your collection goes together seamlessly & nobody would guess that these are recycled phrases! *smile* (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kelly Scheppers]

I like how you described it as recycling favorite lines - sort of a potpourri of poetic pleasure. Thank you, Margie!

What an excellent way to compose a poem, a compilation of phrases taken from other poems you've written. It works beautifully. There is an intenseness in your writing, you certainly get across to the reader what you feel about your lover mine. You create strong imagery with your words Kelly and the artwork you posted is both sensual and divine. Fully meets with my approval.

Keep well and happy

Chris

I'm always looking to diversify my style, to stir things up a bit. Thanks so much, Chris!
