To Kashinath and Cyndi

Not pauses blowing hot, not the red kind,
Our seasons bear eternally a kiss,
Like fabric draped on time, never amiss
That from years' luster sweet kinship, I find,
Sweet dew to quell a thirsting quite enshrined
With gentle sways to learn, to care , I tease.
And breath expresses my warmth, to say this,
To be refreshed and always hold love signed.

So come, dear ones, we’ll trail on endless strands
That melt into this bay of aqua-blue,
Beyond the rising blooms, near palm trees’ nest
Where Indian Soul wheels above the sands,
And Ontario Nymph glides faithful, so true
For only then shall I feel wholly blessed.
                           
                   ~

What a pair we are :) I wrote something for you not knowing this love poem was here! Mine is just our mindmelding, an exploration of the bonds of poetry, its refusal to behave or TO CAVE. This, this is such a gift. As was yesterday's sharing. Don't want to add to your mail... oh dear! Maybe one letter, hit reply all? LOL. Love surrounds you, with all its layers, all its worn spots and snags and often, for those bruised, its regrets and walls. You know my heart. xoxox soul-sister Cyndi

Hello my dear friend Nette! You surprised me! ;)))) I'm so happy you're finally here. How are you & where have you been? I'm sorry, I just came now because yesterday, I wasn't feeling well (flu). I came here a while ago & started replying the comments from top of my inbox then I went swimming. Now, I'm back to continue & my surprise to see your comments on my poem. So happy that you're here now! Is it fine with you if you'll tell me where you've been? Did you go abroad? I'm still in Bangkok.
