'lost'

I got lost 
in between the lyrics 
of your favorite song 

 I got lost 
in between the words 
of the unfinished letter 
that I wrote to you 
 
lost in between
 the moments of bliss 

in between
 the chaos of 
your strong arms 

the word lost deferred 
WITHOUT DIRECTION

with you my 
world is perfect 
from the inside 
deeply content 

in between the lines of 
the sketch I never saw,
the sketch I only dreamt about... 

I am lost in you
yet,
       I am home…

Those last lines sure bring this poem together so well, Missy :) I think we do get lost sometimes just so we realize that we are found? huh ok I hope I am making sense! & thanks for all your comments sweetie-- especially about my net poem, your two cents are worth more than gold to me :D --hugs :)

We do seem to "lose" ourselves when we find this magical attraction, Wilma. It's as if nothing that happened before in our lives ever really mattered. Hope we can both lose ourselves in a man's strong arms one day. Beautiful write, dear! Love, Carolyn
