Star Clad In Eagerness

Wishing the kiss of sunlight was the warmth of ruddy lips,
the crisp breeze, the sharp scratch, desire.. from your finger tips.
remembering, the emerald grass blades teasing my back and neck,
the heat of earth enfolding me, your wish was not suspect.

The crisp breeze, the sharp scratch, desire.. from your finger tips,
sent shivers of purple passion across my up turned hips.
The heat of earth enfolding me, your wish was not suspect,
promises faithfully taken quickly broke through false neglect.

Sent shivers of purple passion across my up turned hips
to a garden long untended, he came with marksmanship.
Promises faithfully taken, quickly broke through false neglect,
and the damn of longing’s token was broken without regret.

A tear teases eye when the sun shines buys, so much happiness.
remembering, the emerald grass blades teasing my back and neck.
Dreaming of love in the rye grass, star clad in eagerness,
wishing the kiss of sunlight was the warmth of ruddy lips.

* revisited often in my dreams

Congratulations Debbie on your magnificent win in Dr. Ram's contest " Pantoum me." It is a poem full of passion and betrayal. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for giving me first place in your contest, " Somewhere Over The Rainbow. " Thanks for your encouragement and inspiration. Sometime I am unable to comment on your wonderful poems, and when I do...I see your gems dazzling in front of me! Have a blessed day and may your inspiration never end. Love and hugs, Andrew.

Mercy me, Cher!...One of your very best efforts for sure...I remember reading your comment on a recent blog that said some of our best poetry comes from pain, suffering and lost love, etc. (and that ain't SUPPOSED to come easy)...I agree! - Tim
