Taste of You

The bond between us
does not quite speak to the stars
as precious carvings
but as seeds of happiness.
Here you see me in thought
rearranging reflections inside a message
held in glass.

Far away I hold my breath
then let it out to chase dream-filled sleep.  
Soft sighs escape
streaming through the night
in shells of kisses
moving ultimately to form this lovely
smile I keep.

Quivering inside my dreams
are elaborate colors
that dance on my tongue.
I taste them as whispers of you.
The bond between us does not quite
speak to the stars, but here
in my dreams is sung.

Neva, I really like this one, especially the lines I copied below... They could be a poem by themselves.

Sometimes that bond is a blessing..yes...but at times..also makes us realise that nothing is quiet perfect! This is beautifully written Neva...I think its important to know what depths a relationship truly knows! Not always what we think! xx

Like the way the idealised is not quite reached ... this seems to make the focus on the dream images the more realistic. Esp like the notion of being IN the glass rearranging things. Very much like 'in shells of kisses', also the notion of tasting whispers. But the best part is the idea of 'not quite' with the stars, focusing the reader on the greater immediacy of the dream.

A sensual, passionate, and intimate poem. I love the warmth of the speaker's voice...it draws me in, makes me feel welcome to the viewing of this moment between lovers.

Sometimes the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste. And though it may not speak to the stars I should hope it speaks to me. J'adore Neva.
