an edible symphony

this just came to me.

the thought
occurred to me,
as I quietly
lapped up
your edible symphony,

just how easily,
I miss you
or you miss me,
could have been
our never.

and life,
is such a mystery,
one turn
can lead to tragedy,
or treasure.

it wasn't that long ago
i was just a little i*
now, thanks in part to you,
I have me back,
forever.

Author's Note

* an homage to ee cummings "who are you little i"

My review from two years ago. I must have been brand new. :)
It's still a good poem.

I get dirty thoughts in my head when I think edible symphony. :)
Sorry!!

The poem is just so lovely though, the feel to it.
Someone who can make us feel big again, significant, worthy.
Makes us see all those things we don't see, within ourselves.

Such a wonderful thing to have someone like this.

Thank you again darling. Dirty thoughts are almost always good.:)

Ok I have to admit I went straight to the gutter when I read edible symphony...lol I know I'm a dork.
This is just lovely. R xo

[Lyn Anderson]

That was totally intentional, thank you.

A wonderful write if you ask me. Cummings was a master of the weird, that's for sure.

[Lyn Anderson]

I love Cummings. He is definitely one of my faves.

[Vidya Bacchus]

A really excellent one Kit Kat the name had me headed in a whole other direction with my perverted mind lol

[Lyn Anderson]

You and me and Ana both. I was going there, but it went elsewhere.

You know, it was going to be dirty, but my muse steered me down another path.

[Matching Socks]

I love where it went!

wow, a deeply introspective piece....I so do not like looking deeply into myself, unless of course I ate something I liked (that came off as nasty--sorry) I truly love the poem, just suck at reviewing

[Lyn Anderson]

I like the review. It is honest. Honest is all I expect in a review. :)

Love 'edible symphony' sounds like violins, cry me a river, yep, you just tuned me in to my own self worth....good one KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much, I was partial to that line too.

[Lydia Shutter]

An empowering write....one that is so thought provoking. Yes, you are you and you belong to you....never forget that. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Try to capture moments of inner life. Not the easiest, the internal noise at times so great one cannot even image how i feels without that interference. How is it achieved? I think we all have tricks, systems and mechanisms. What is refreshing to see here is that circumstances have allowed to rediscover aspects of yourself.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Life is certainly an endless mystery, the good or bad things that happen to us can cause us to wonder what if we did something different at a certain moment, how different would it be. Is our life more fate or freewill.

[Lyn Anderson]

We will never know how much is each. That is the mystery.
