Poem Title:
Poem
Invitation: Rick Will you accept? Not a challenge Rather an invitation Let us explore each other's thoughts Are we oil and water? Will we have a meeting of the minds? They say men and women are not the same Do we both not bleed? Do we not see the same sky? Smell the same scents? Strive for the same things? I extend out my hand I beg you, please don't turn away I am trusting you with a part of me Let us dance Twirl along the page Response: Eileen A part of me and more I lay here at your door Your proposal is sweet Oh, let our minds now meet An invitation to dance Is such a golden chance To let rhythm and rhyme Keep us dancing in time Gender does not matter Perceptions we will shatter When it comes to poetry We are the same entity With words we are in love Touched by inspiration's dove We exude beauty fair As our poetic souls we bare My words a gift to you You know just what to do Oil and water don't combine Each is unique and sublime But they mix when making bread By which hungry minds are fed A sweet blessing our words bring we can make the heavens sing Response: Rick Like you, I am a lover of words Looking for diamonds to capture light Each word placed creates our delight A symphony of colors shining bright In the end I have a spirit of oil within Long ago I permeated my lover's skin She and I are now a we From her comes the sweetness you see You and I, opposite sides of similar coins Separate, yet in subtle ways we are joined Two coins jingle, create a sound Tossed to the sky yet still Earth bound As we share what's on our minds Only heaven knows what treasure we will find Final Response: Eileen Treasures don't lie on the ground Buried deep, they must be found The one with a passionate heart Will get all, not just a part Opposites attract, I'm told Our poems, treasures of gold You have stories and I have mine Poem gems, sparkle and shine Your love speaks to you; mine to me Our ballads of sweet harmony The treasure is this, our dance Unsure, we still took a chance You took the lead, steps just right This dance with you, a sheer delight. Collaboration between Richard Lamoureux and Eileen Ghali For Shadow's Contest
