similes sing

poetry parties

you shave off the day's beard of ennui

with your razor sharp wit

i become a fugitive from the languor of life

employing your passion as my wings

in dark pockets of night

in the vastness of day

you build a forever bridge

spanning the distance between

my fantasy world and reality

with a soft kiss

i love you!

For as long as we have known each other, it still resonates throughout the years how very much I admire your work. To have the ability to touch someone beyond words is simply your way, and I am a witness to it every time you post. My best always, my dear friend!

I think of Frank Sinatra singing... Softly as I leave you... that
made me cry... when I was seventeen. Now... a few decades later...
I read your poem as though it were a song... The photo is delicious and
romantic... resting in a bed of Roses with hearts and sweet kisses.
Valentines are smiling with lace and lust. truly, Pat

" ... you shave off the day's beard of ennui with your razor sharp wit.". Wow, talk about a poetic ace-in-the hole. The entire write is shining , but that bit just hits the perfect spot with me. Green with envy over this gem. ~Jim
