"But Your Eyes Are Soooooo - You..."

"But Your Eyes... Are Soooooo - You..."

 

Sharing a quiet morning coffee

with you 

would lead to dinner 

and midnight snacks 

and Sunday brunch... 

and holidays in the country 

and picnics along the shore.

"Nothing" trips to "nowhere" places

and selfless laughter,

'secret' smiles.

 

There would be

walks

and talks

hands being ...hands

held and holding

hearts smiling

eyes being filled

- with moments

- with meaning

- with wishes made

in the

moonlight

and sunlight

and soft sensuous breezes -

the quiet whispers of desire

the heated touches of passion

the gentlest "afters" kisses.

 

Morning ...coffee -

sitting on stair steps

porch steps

gazing lost

being found

...living IN the rain

...with - the rain...

and the echoes of

the Thunders and

our ...lightnings

our being -

our     our - such a little word

and so full of 

the deepest breaths we take...

morning ...coffee

and the softest eyes

gazing into...

tomorrows.

Chris,

Your works are new to me and after seeing a friend's comment concerning one of your most recent posts, it is the inquisitive nature of me to go through your list of poems before settling on one to review, and so it is here that I have first arrived to read and review - a lovely place to start as it is morning and the coffee is brewing as with eloquence you share with us a handwritten version of your poem which is something I rarely see anymore, a treat, a treasure, a most delightful treasure I add.

As your words tumble down the pages with expressions of tender sentiment, I am quite caught in awe of the emotion you share with the reader. All I can say is, "Captivating"!

Thank you for sharing part of you with us in our today!!

Sheila

Sheila - if I may... thank you for pausing with me and for expressing your thoughts. You are ALWAYS welcome to pause and speak your mind as you like. I'ld pour you a mug of coffee or tea and talk ideas with you any day.

[Sheila Kline]

Thank you Chris! It would indeed be a pleasure to share a mug of coffee and share ideas, views, opinions, musings, -thoughts of a beautiful fall day, of a rain covered walkway, of snowdrifts in winter and how the cold wind whisks away the steam swirling above the coffee mug...all such delightful thoughts!

[Bri 810]

It must be caffeinated. hahaha.
I like the flow of this, and how you let the words/thoughts take you to the next line.

[Chris]

It really IS a story...smiling here

[Frieda P]

Wow, that's some cuppa coffee, like what you brewed up here Chris. ;-)

[Chris]

Good morning Freida... its a lil overcast here... but you are welcome to sit and catch your breath.

[Frieda P]

Buon giorno Chris, I'll share my sunshine with you if you pour me a cuppa that special blend. :-)

[Chris]

There's so many whispers
we feel within -
and the mornings'ghosts
fill my thoughts
with wishes...

I remember my yesterdays
each time I gaze in your misty eyes
and sigh at the could-have-been tomorrows
we didn't have.

Chris

[Chris]

choose your mug dear?

[Frieda P]

Woo, I really do love your cuppa, it runneth over my friend. Charming.

[Frieda P]

Whichever one holds the largest amount of freshly brewed sentiments....

[Chris]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Kelly Scheppers]

This has all the componets I like in a poem...there's coffee, holidays, moonlight, rain, more coffee, and more rain! I adore this side of you! ; )

[Chris]

see... like I said - "Sharing a morning coffee with you ...would lead to..." "tomorrows."

[Mia]

You write as if time stands and you are in no rush to finish…I want that…I’m aware of my breathing as I read, I’m compelled to read slowly…wouldn't want to miss a moment with your heart. Romance is so much more romantic when you’re not trying so hard. I found a happy place in your words

[Holly Mason]

now that fine sir...is BEAUTIFUL...
truly
adore the tracing of the thought patterns
love the journal pic a lovely personal touch ...xoxo

[Chris]

I have missed you...Holly. The girls ok?

[Holly Mason]

the girls are super fine and thank you much for asking...

[Chris]

You and they are "special" and matter. The trees putting on their costumes for you guys?

[Holly Mason]

not fully but love your wording choice ...after they shed their costumes they are barely visible! hahaha all puns intended be safe my friend

[Chris]

you too... you too

[Aethereal]

And so, morning coffee triggers a whole series of connected relationships spreading like a spark igniting a leaf and then a forest. We have the "Butterfly Effect" at work here. This free flowing poem is somewhat like a chain reaction. A vivid cadence runs though this poem! Your words are hungry flames feeding on stored need.

[Chris]

the interconnections of ...small and meaningless "nothings" - moments of magyk.

[Aethereal]

"All the world's a stage ... signifying nothing." but we feel good none-the-less while we're engaged by the drama of it all.

[Chris]

chuckling here.

[Aethereal]

I fear
I hear
nihilistic laughter
from the Great Hereafter

[Chris]

Great - nah ...Good - within reason.

[Aethereal]

Well not from the Hereafter yet, but soon sooooon! Just jesting!

[Chris]

chuckling here...

[annabellee]

Gorgeous poem, wonderful flow, I loved it :)

[Penlady]

You make one feel free...having lived it just as you have written it makes me miss it even more....you "revive" Chris...so tenderly....you have such a way with visions...

(Illness in the family has kept me from this wonderful site...but am gradually getting back) So good to read your wonderful journaling!

[sharonlee]

Sigh...

Those secret sort of smiles warm the spirit, don't they.
