come with me

come with me

watch as peppermint thoughts turn to licorice

smile as i scavenge

salvaging what is left of this day

it’s true, you know

flowers in the vase of life

need more than rain to stay vibrant

perhaps a troupe of clowns engaging in festivities

‘neath a coterie of stars?

no?  what can I say?

we all need a kinder place to run to

 

come with me

climb up to the tippy top of the rainbow

where we can peacefully sleep on fluffy clouds

then, tomorrow morning

taste the sauna samba sunrise with me

the sort seen only once every forever

listen carefully to hear butterfly wings

play a lustful jazzy tune

this pulse of passion morning can mutate into night

we’ll touch…consumed by desire

share my multicolored need

sighs will slip and slide till we gloriously yield

come with me

So delightful & full of sensuous playful enchantment! The way life is tough for so many these days, I also find myself wanting an escape which I get thru poetry, both reading & writing. This poem inspires me even more to find such magical places where we can carve out a moment's hideaway. Every single word is so fresh & original, the things I love most in writing! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
