Ambiguity

So you think because my tongue lance
The eye of devils
To hide my children from their teeth
I cannot feel how quickly your heart beat
Against my breast with longingness
For me to move my hands 
Slowly as the wind move the sands
Against the softness of your breast.
I want to slake this tongue
In the mouth of your understanding
And drink from your lips
Of deep forgiveness
If I spoke abrupt against your need
For my time to give the moon the moon to rise
Undressing the desire of your eyes.
I am a lover
Unsealing virgin gardens of blood
To plant the seed
Filled with the dreams of sensuous happiness.

Wow. I am certain I begin all my comments to you with that word. You take a situation and empower it with your words. And should that not always be done when one can do it as well as you? Invade, explain, emphasize, beautify every emotion in life, every sparkle of sunlight upon the sea as well as every shadow? In awe of every poem you write. If you have a book out, you should let us all know. Thanks for your beautiful comments. Love, Shar

Thank you for your blog comment today L'nass.Good question you pose.In Japanese haiku/& in imagist form it is often those 'as is moments' we see or hear/Rgds Brian. Many of my earlier blogs of padt two years give some insight on this dilemma.
