all knowing

thoughts that squeeze through

I knew

I wanted to
comfort you.
but you
didn't need
a hug
or a tender
word.

we aren't that
different,
you and me.

I knew
exactly
what to do
to bring you
back to
where you
like to be.
 

knowing

I felt it,
in the pounding of your heart,
the way you looked at me,
and then looked away,
that moment.
is enough,
just
knowing ...

you should know

your kiss
still ignites
the engine
that was dead
before you
turned the key
and recharged
the heart
inside of me.

Some passion is too great to adequately put into words, but I try ...

[Coyote Poetry]

You did well my friend.

[Neville]

It is the thoughts that squeeze through and you subsequently capture and leave here for us that makes poetry, poetry..... N

pleasure..........

I love this arrangement of thoughts on "knowing" . . . the first stanza is most striking to me . . . there are just some people who "click" together & sense what the other is needing, while other people remain a complete mystery. I also really love the last stanza, altho I haven't had the pleasure of such an experience myself, I surely do enjoy reading about how it can be from your point of view (((HUGS)))

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. I am blessed to have what I have for as long as that may be.

[Lydia Shutter]

When a kiss can do that, that vehicle will take you far! Such a romantic write filled with hope for the future. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

"turned the key & recharged the heart"... these lines are surely very captivating just alike your bonevolent write for sure. Liked the way how systematically you gathered love-ish things around.... across the valley - memorable juxtaposition of your monatge-love-words. Seemed very tranquil & heartfelt in reading. You seem to be lulling what's once lulled you over the nassima of enigmatic & under the trés tryst of moon-night, a long ago. Nice shot!

[Lyn Anderson]

What an interesting review again -- perhaps it will inspire some more "benevolent poetry" -- we shall see.:) Thank you for stopping in.

[Pryde Foltz]

A beautiful romantic write full of hope and that which is unconditional. Did I say it was beautiful:)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, you are too kind.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

There is no greater communication then that of two hearts speaking to one another.
Yes delightfully romantic.

[Lyn Anderson]

I am glad you see it that way. :)

[Caradoc]

A very good romantic poem. The honesty is what does it for me.

Ah thanks sir. I do too.:) The trick is in knowing what the other wants.
