Movements Never Heard

You are burnt in my being.

These small lines around your mouth,
full lips brushed in wild gouache strokes
Eyes of Prussian blue, aquamarine gems 
to quench fire, to evoke thirst....

In fidgety sticky nights you are draped
around me, wrinkled in rosy lines drawn
over my chest, engraved in my foggy mind.

My inept fingers on your violin strings, my loosely
threaded bow stroking your hair,
caressing your meandering frame, while I hear
the soft chime of your voice, symphony in 
movements never heard but deeply felt.

You are burnt in my soul.

Lisa Ricci Date: 5/6/2017 4:31:00 AM Good Afternoon Darren. Allow me to say this is more than stunning more than beautiful more than emotional and yes more than real all the above. In short this is poetry with a most perfect ending line and poetic expression to match the entry and poetry itself. Read back the line and your words and you will see. It is an honor always. Have a wonderful afternoon. Well done completely and entirely. Stay well please.

Thanks my dear friend :)
