gathering in cyber space

after 3 days of no internet, I am back, with a couple collections

"He's there. I am here." He said. But where is she? Somewhere in between ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cardio vascular surgeon.

He hacked into her heart,
not with a machete,
but a keyboard
and a pocket full of memories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

he keeps her

quiet.

she never knew

she needed

the calm.

the beat

of his heart;

the lowing of cows

in the meadow,

chirping birds

through the

window --

his breathing

in sync

with hers.

 

Quiet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shower kisses,

entered blisses.

she wonders

if he misses

her when she

goes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She tries to leave

without making a fuss.

 

but he never lets her go

without seeing her to the door,

 

She tells herself

he is just being polite,

 

but her heart hopes,

it's something more ...

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when the what ifs are better

than all the whats that came before,

somehow the maybes feel like an open door.

Ah, yes, might have beens and what ifs can plague a person. I especially liked the way you changed margins and fonts in this one, KL. Does one person feel differently than another? Never a way to be sure unless you TALK about it. Maybes CAN turn into yeses.....ya never know! :) Very good. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, Lydi, I appreciate your review. And your lovely, calm presence here.

[Lydia Shutter]

What a sweet thing to say. Thank you!

[Chris]

The stuff of dreams... it left a smile in your wake.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much

This was wonderful KLGoode. I love how this was formatted, like many indiviual thoughts coming at me from the same direction. I really loved this poem. I do have one question, the lowing of cows? I am not sure I know exactly what that means.

[Lyn Anderson]

Cattle were lowing as in mooing.

[willweb]

Okay, thanks. I had never heard that term before. It is a good day, I have learned something new.

[Lyn Anderson]

From "Away in a Manger"

[willweb]

Hmmm, I probably sang that a hundreds times as a kid and never snapped to it.

[realmwriter]

I've been through the what if and the maybes and the what the hell am I dong here. I've opened and closed that door more times than I care to count and I still keep coming to it and daring to go through it again. I agree with April "f**k it and closed the damn door" But there is also hope in this and one should never close the door to hope. Love it.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. I write it as it comes to me.

[realmwriter]

That's how I do. You're welcome

[AprilRN1210]

awwwww.... this one feels hopeful and sweet.. like this side of you two ma'am.... this one hit close to home for me... let's just say I can relate and decided, f**k it and closed the damn door... kinda mood I am in today....

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, sometimes better to close the door for a bit. :)

[AprilRN1210]

I am thinking the same thing.... gawd!!! sorry... didn't mean to vent... you just hit a nerve...

[Lyn Anderson]

Martinis fix that -- when are you free?

[AprilRN1210]

I am free NOW... and sure could freaking use it....

[Frieda P]

I love when you use this format, so much to absorb, you've been a busy p***y for sure....the last one hit home, me thinks you're trying to drive yourself crazy, talk yourself in or out of something...hmmm, that's what we do best. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

I had to spill it out after all this cyber death. My goodness, first world problem or what, 3 days without internet oh, the humanity!

[Frieda P]

We love when you spill your guts and heart!

[Rene Salinas]

Oh my I can't belive how much of a sucker I am for this kinda thing. Is the non descriptive, conceptual nature that does it for me. Music to my ears. It allows me to put the explanations creating the bridges between You found someone online and he is essentially way better of a situation than anything before yet...... Online.

Oh but the writing.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, I really like the way this one turned out.:)

[Baby Ricochet]

Next time lets gather in outer space. Good group of poems KL

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much.

[Sami Khalil]

Format is unique and different. A lot to appreciate and contemplate in this awesome write...:)..............

"She tells herself
he is just being polite,

but her heart hopes,
it's something more ..."

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much as always, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:)......

[NoelHC]

I really enjoy this format that you have been writing lately KL, each a short work on their own, and become more than the sum of the parts when concatenated. Great work. Well back to the interweb! The last stanza reached me and touched me BTW.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, as always, Noel. I have several of these. It is actually how I always wrote -- several poems on one piece of paper, and then I pulled them apart. This is just keeping them together.:)

[NoelHC]

Well, it seems to be working, keep it up!
