Love Maven

....after a conversation with KL

Love Maven

In the moonlight of heaven

I see you floating

on notes of no beginning,

no end.

Taking that farm boy’s arm,

going where your feet just wanna go,

going to some ‘natural fun’...

                                                               

                                                  

Thinking of a life lost

in tones of forest green

and what could have been,

I know what it means

to get down, get down

where there is a lively funky sound.

‘Ipsimama’, ‘ipsimama’.

                                                                                               

                                                           

Time, in all dimensions

doesn’t recognize the ‘genius of love'

or its love maven.

It just tick tocks,

tick tocks until

‘hiditihi, hipitiho’

‘bohannon’, bohannon’,

the music stops!

Ha! How clever! And I love it, especially the second part. Made me smile. Thank you.

[redzone]

you're more than welcome, so glad you liked it....

[barleygirl]

I don't understand all of it, but I like all of it! *smile* . . . This is the part where you're so far outside the dots, I'm left standing here only seeing the dots behind my eyelids . . .

[redzone]

lol... hmmm dots... the poem is just my way of having fun with KL's poems about her and her "farmboy"... which are about their exploring their growing love and relationship... as she often says it's complicated... and this song that I heard today on the radio... mainly it is saying 'life is short" go for it!!! and for as long as it lasts...

dot's behind the eyeballs, is this your very nice and polite way of saying this poem drives you crazy? or that I am crazy?... would you allow me to say thank you in both cases....;0)

Margies, welcome to my insanity!!! lol ;0)

[redzone]

that's plural Margie(s) to include all those furries...

[barleygirl]

Thanks for the explanation . . . now you're bringing back one of KL's writes in particular, something about delivering hay in the night? Something like that? Anyhow, the more I think about it, the more I want to write a story with similar ideas . . . just trying to figure out how to make sure I'm not copying KL's true-to-life bliss in any story inspired by her! (((HUGS)))

[redzone]

can't wait to read your story...

not just that KL poem in particular, but in many of her recent poems about them or alluding to them and I wanted to copy her style of writing too...

[barleygirl]

I'll leave the non-linear writing to you & KL . . . *smile* . . . You know how I only "get" that which is straightforward! (((HUGS)))

[redzone]

Just different styles of writing and both are important, yes sometimes it takes more work to understand a poem, but this is often true even if written in a less linear way.. and all writing wants to be understood, other wise it is just words with no meaning beyond the individual words...

are you cutting yourself short in saying you only "get" one form??? for what it is worth, never do that cause it limits what you are actually capable of... and it is also never a bad thing to say I don't understand something... anyway, I know that I like how you write and what you write... ;0)

[barleygirl]

I "get" you . . . *smile*
