April Showers Sun and Flowers

Anacreontic Verse I sit silent within this moment Not knowing If you are willing To touch me in a way that truly matters For I need you To caress my skin For it has been a long winter of wanting My skin glistens April fresh showered clean for this reunion Within my longing My spirit knows You don't sense my need Although you feel close There is a distance Unmeasurable Around your red glow I feel sad blue Please tell me Why you keep hiding Please break through dark clouds gift me your yellow Kiss me now So that I "May" bloom! Anacreontic Verse Three for Edward Ebb's contest

Super busy at this end with trying to sell our home and build a new one at Mikinley Beach. I as well have lacked inspiration of late.. Hugs Rick.

What a tantalizing metaphor for love and desire. She is the life-force and your reason for life. You expressed it so well.

Winter and spring are two important stages in a person's relationship. Now is the time to cross from one to the other, romantically; change is in the air! // paul

I like the demands of the last line.. kiss me now! like it is going to make the blue just disappear and you know it, it is a strong ending. This poem feels the longing, the wanting, and the desire to make everything alright. :)
