Streets of Dignity

1.)

From dimensions of understanding

 I will

nurse thee from the womb of my heart

I will listen 

for the notes that dance in your soul

we will co-exist like lips pressed against 

both sides of the glass.

2.) 

You owed me one good shot,

but you showed me the door and drank it.

3.)

What lies on the sidewalk is bound to pass out,
dressing table, end table and chairs
sit at me and stare

not a one of them with a bedroom to share.

4.)

Even the hottest days simmer down to mediocrity
after a time no one is to blame but familiararity
that's when the real challenge of love begins

with dignity

as thick as a kiss, thicker than thieves, as thick as flies

when you see everything in a cloudy afternoon.

Real love is not all sunshine and rainbows... we see how some truly cares about us when we are down and out.

Simple magnificent writing.

oh what a collection...and no reviews yet...how could one read these and not react...for me the lines about the lips co-existing like lips pressed against both sides of the glass is perfect...the image it conjures literally and figuratively....wow.

and the last line of number 4, what a strong way to end that one...it is like one seeing clearly when others can't...or that everything we see is clouded...could go either way...i like how you allow that.
