Poem Title:
Poem
i have moments when the words are failing me or they are lost in some dimension the screen is white wanting to dance in a black medley that becomes a concerto as attention wanders in a beginning i feel your hands on my shoulder i close my eyes in ecstasy's touch a light touch of lips to the head the blackening begins racing in other moments, i am in sweet labor where memory dances me in a vortex a rapture of your presence behind me quiet as a church mouse absorbed in prayer i pause before the leap forward look up to the window black in the night gathering in what the world sees in the window's reflection they see a room where i sit alone and i am in a moment of sadness the world is denied by the Thomas your loving presence God would never leave me alone where you meander in every atom this room can hold muses are a human construct the veil is real and it sometimes gives way the sweet breath of love waiting as hands light upon my shoulder a kiss brushes the crown of my head where myth evaporates into reality neither the demons below nor the angels above can ever deny me my beloved Lenore God would never leave me alone the veil ceases in every thought of you hands upon my shoulders my head falls backward into your lips OKC 6/22 "From the time you were very little, you had people who have smiled you into smiling. People who have talked you into talking. Sung you into singing. Loved you into loving." Mr. Rogers Even though there may be times It seems I'm far away Never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side from Celine Dion-The Power Of Love Songwriters: Detmann Wolfgang, Applegate Mary Susan, Mende Gunther, Stern Heidi
