Intimate Truth

p a u s e s spaces in your words like notches on wood endearing stillness till a sprawl of irregular "I love you's" spill truth like a stream run full a tear-choked gaze in a sighing-room tugging us to earthy touching our commitment inhabiting green-garden parts of a world tireless in its defining pushing past preconceptions snared by the peace of pressing one to one fluorescent part of gifted chemistry, claimed no soft need to nudge it no drift to sullen limbs a saga of expansion like a coal mine burning underground where we live an intimacy even in small tallk truthfulness finding its bounce, prized like existence still shaping days in words we share and heed in words that pull r e c o v e r y Poem composed May 10/2023

Thank you, Lassad. I was attempting a write where love, bonding vows, precarious health issues imbue the couple relationship with vulnerability. Hence the truthfulness of sincere statements of love also include an awareness that recovery has slender threads indeed. Be well. Thank you for your visit + supportive words. Cheers Brian

This is a poem which requires reading more than once in order that the thoughts it contains on the cover and in between lines do not go to waste, Brian. The words and presentation both hold a meaning. ~ Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul

Hello Paul, I appreciate your thoughtful appraisal of my poem. It didn't garner a high placement perhaps because of the ambiguity in the relationship described. However, your voice that the lines hold meaning are most encouraging. All the best, Brian
