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.

Neva you astound me with your poetry its exquisite.......

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem. Your poetry need to be read a few times. The words are strong and to grasp the complete story and emotion. Need to be read with a patience and calm mind. I like the way you described the emotion and desire in this poem. A very good ending to a outstanding poem.

I see many images in this write. It is an easy read that lead me in many directions. Anyone that has read much of what I write in reviews will tell you that is not unsual for me. I find this seductive and aluring at the same time. Of course I'm old and that means it's aloud. I will be reading more of your work if not for only one reason and that is to see what comes after aluring.

This poem was romantic and so eloquent with a bit of the sensual side.
The last stanza was amazing. I loved those last few lines.

a dose of reality ... does not deny the very real truth that
the most pertinent fact of all is the anticipation
of what is promised but not yet realized

You always amaze me. So beautifully written--the last stanza in particular for me is stunning!
