Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Whipped-Cream Waves of Desire

O, to dream of mythic trails, velvet underfoot
    to float on whipped-cream waves of desire
  To feel your soft contours sigh in sync with mine
    mint vapors to inhale, on moonstruck wishes to dine 

  To saunter down sandy boardwalks and disappear
    sans white buds or jeweled baubles in ageless ears
  Missionaries unflinching, for unrepentant good
    ere sunrise flickers out 'neath ashes of widowhood

Linda Alice Fowler March 28, 2023 at 12:40 PM I can feel those myths trails calling gw. This is wonderfully imaginative. :) laf Gershon Wolf March 28, 2023 at 7:15 PM I imagine that your kind words will get me to try another one like this, Linda. Thanks!!

Michelle Faulkner March 27, 2023 at 11:08 AM You do have many sides, gw, and I am a fan of all, this is so touching with 'moonstruck wishes to dine' and 'jeweled baubles in ageless ears' - then that last line so unexpected poignant, brought a small tear to my eye~ Gershon Wolf March 28, 2023 at 7:14 PM Thanks for the nice review, Michelle. At my weight, I have so many sides, I've lost count. Ugh! :) gw

Daniel Turner March 27, 2023 at 7:10 AM Are you OK? This reads a whole lot like poetry. Where's GW? Some silver tongued devil has taken over your site, GW. Daniel Turner March 28, 2023 at 9:18 PM Hey, what are friends for? Gershon Wolf March 27, 2023 at 9:18 AM Ha, ha, ha! Am I not supposed to be a poet?! lol. I do 'serious' too, after a fashion. Thank you, Daniel for your reaction, almost exactly what I expected (given my last six months output on the Soup... It wasn't always so...). :) gw
