Betokening

There is no remedy for love but to love more. - Thoreau

when i can breathe your rumpled scent on the pillow

feel your visited warmth under the covers

your lingering taste supplicating 'pon my lips

still holding onto the string of last night's kite

i know everything is alright

for certain

not might

ah, the new day will be exceedingly and sweatingly bright

Author's Note

Love must be as much a light as it is a flame. - Thoreau

Someone is flying high here after alot of last night's loving and her essence remains in the bed linen even after she has left. Sensual and certainly uplifting Pete. Nicely penned. Isn't love grand?

thank you chris. it sure is, now if i could only find it or it find me. this more from remembrance of what it was like. only the real thing will last through thick and thin.
sometimes it seems as though i'm better at loving than being loved (insecurities). it's out there somewhere ... :)

[Chris Shaw]

It is out there and you will find it when you least expect it. In the meantime, it's nice to visit a bit of nostalgia.:)

[Pete]

thank heaven memories are forever ... :)

[Chris Shaw]

True :).....

[Fran Marie]

a positive way to
view love and keep
the ethereal essence
it bestows upon us
love holds so many
different emotions
and this one speaks
of continuing brightness
which takes us higher
still..

Nice Work

[Pete]

well said fran. hoping your kite soars exceedingly high ... :)
