Description
People come
And sometimes go
Just as easily
I'm glad the going's easy
Well for them anyway
Too much stock I place
An inordinate trust
That they might feel
And live
As I do
With certain cherishment
Value placed
In the very meaningfulness
Of others
And the blessing
Of the encounters
I once longed
That another might
Show me
The simple grace
Of acceptance
Endurance
Hell
Most my age curl
Haphazardly
Against taken-for-granted skin
Of partnering
At the end of the day
Instead
The other side of my bed
Now piles with books
The stack always growing
Higher
Higher
But they don't
Move the sheets to
Rise and fall
As once they did
With breathing
Still in ways
Despite the stark awareness
My flesh has known
They're much more
Skillful lovers
These...things
Granted
They don't slip inside
Or learn
My tenderest folds
Make me
Climb
Stretch
Reach
Quake
With dampened skin
Clutching need
The bliss
Of release
Still they quench
My thirsting hands
And touch
(in other ways altogether)
Those parts of me
Lovers always neared
Then missed
And never
Do they
Take for granted
The simple loving caress
Of my fingertips
Idly stroking
The leaflet sanctuary
Of their innards
Damn....
They're more reliable

Happy Sunday...

Your so called ramblings are wonderful Nancy and almost as beautiful as your images are. Your words reveal a soul that is deep, caring and now careful to trust easily. Always too your playful nature and light hearted sense of humor add to the celebration that is your work.

Well Nancy! I must say this is one of your more titillating, metaphorical poems and how very poignant, but true...we can certainly depend on our little printed friends to see us through those "rough" spots :o) ...and they're always faithful ;o) Excellent work !!!! B*B & Hugs

It's always the ones who are quickest to leave who lose out on the most. Here, most of all... The touching... and being touched... by one who is, in my book, The Most. huggles ~K*

Wonderful visual poetry I love the way you have personified the books and your fractal is poetry-in-motion. Really love these creations.

Little fingers, moving nimbley up and down the spine .. a wonderful spiral to go with the delightful words. Yes, a fave, to go back and savor words and image again, and again.
