Quoth Theraven Poet Rhyme

You

Walked a tight rope love, 
you and I
 as if we couldn't tell 
sky above
nor ground below..   

Stayed all Sunday,
called in sick on Monday
but still sent it well
yeah,
seems a sickness was in the air
we didn't care.

Didn't ask to go down this road,
no, just walk, promised myself I would
not like before..
even though I thought I learned
take the bad with the good.

Holding me, tight
the best thing 
I ever knew
never wanted to never say,
don't know what I mean, just that
 I need you.

~~~~~~~~~~~   Dedicated to my love Stacy   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Panagiota Romios December 11, 2023 at 12:44 AM When I think of love, i think of the music of Cole Porter! Such outstanding lyrics.i never had one love in my life, as most do. I had several significant others, if you will. And each were fantastic in a plethora of other ways.)))Plus…knew poetry + were well read. I led a colorful and wild and sassy lifestyle. It shows in my poems. I will never be a sheep! I love that song, “ body and soul.” I like men who are fun, humble,tender and sensual.” Needing …,is great as was your poem! Merci, Pangie Panagiota Romios December 16, 2023 at 1:57 PM The lyrics alone are simply poetry yet supremely divine and touching, Merci.Pangie Quoth Theraven December 15, 2023 at 11:51 PM Pangie, The music of Cole Porter, in my veins too.

Maybe that is what it is all about...needing someone, having someone -- sharing the mystery. You made me think with this one. Well done. Quoth Theraven December 15, 2023 at 11:39 PM Joe, Thanks, still don't know how to find them, words slow to come. Here's to sharing in mystery. -Richard
