How else could I convince you
Knowing you are still in this world
Stamped upon my very own feet
Soul nodding me affirmatively
You held me sweet
So ripe as a pod
Teaching me to walk
To run and climb trees
Most things to me are important you see
I have touched the small red hearts dangling
Our unfinished story properly and still precise
Spreading our glossy memories for years
What matters to me is the bleeding of your heart
How it beats when it misses
When it cries
When it joys
For a long time I thought the world knew me
Simple woman happy by the simplicity of her faith
Committing green knobs to deliciously open
For I am older than I use to be now
Beneath my young and in a hurried spirit
The timeless body forgives full in fragrance
Bodies who once broke hearts
Now patiently rise loving in it’s lung like voice
I love you in my usual position
Fetal like breathing in this quietude of mine
Beautiful like our life use to sound
A sound so identical I would not know how to distinguish it from the two of us
Gorgeous…giving me warm tears (but I perpetually leak when confronted with pure emotion and pure beauty).
I spilled too – Happens often to us felt-feeling-folks.
(hugs) thank you..
Thank you for your warm words.
You are very welcome dear, thank you so much for your follow
This is just so tenderly, even longingly beautiful. Reading this, I could feel such hope that these words would connect with the heart they address, touch it, paint it in colors of true kindness and sympathy. How could a heart not melt, reform, revitalize when so described by you, Mari?
In her secret space I truly believe it does. I won’t give up thinking that way, never. With every exhale we can change, that is hope. It lives circling the nose.
Unbelievable sensitive genuine expression Mari ~ yes — tears as well … Love to your heart ~
As a mother now – things feel the same – young spirit naming what is undoubtedly hers. Thank you for your mushy lovely words (and for making me tear up again)
Beautiful picture and I love your new profile picture too.
Katrina, thank you so much
You’re welcome.
The vibrant kiss of your love song, fills all hearts with joy as they taste true and pure love for the one who first love you and gave you life. Beautiful, beautiful poem Mari! Great write!
Yes my friend. My write just expresses the outter deails of this profound love. Thank you for reading me
Sensitive, yes, beautiful, very beautiful – what we all wish for perhaps? That incredible familial sense.
Polly, your words are making me think deeply, and yes absolutely what we all wish for. Especially with those bloodstreams. Thank you for your comment, means tons
Oh, how lovely of you to say so, Mari. I really enjoyed this piece.
i’m sorry I don’t wax eloquently. Excellent stuff and thank you for following this poor substitute for a poet of a different genre! BY THE MIGHTY MUMFORD…Jonathan Caswell
