Riverlet's Remembered

With your winds that screech Wild so wild your winds and words rip the curtains Stretching to reach me in the dark with fingers that entangle my hair Tornado Rip the furnace from the floor of my basement your teasing tornado desires You want me now?! You have no right to be here Yet you come Tearing the shingles from my siding Ripping the siding from my sacred walls You tear down the columns and pull apart the shutters Can you not respect the building of canyons? These are my walls Who are you to ask the grand canyon to do anything but be magestistic If you had never put your head to mine Had you never remembered how I slip in like silver beside you Had I never silkened your body as you silkened mine We could forget Be left feeling nothing... But Like an album scracted We replay...even after the console has been donated We are ghosts..making love in the ether I want to forget you But you replay and I stagger and tear...every time I think of you and I do think of you Over and over again I am a record album with a scratch Circling back Round and round to the time you said This must be a slow burn kind of Love

Dearest ing. So sad. Sliding in like silver beside you. Oh the images. That line “ like a record with a scratch”. You are writing still and piquing my old poetic bones I hope. Still the romantic I see. I will read more. Much love. Kathy
