We Belong

We Belong

 

 

I live in your rainbow dreams,

those flights of color

woven into sky quilts;

each thread holding

these whispers of you

around my heart.

          We belong.

 

We belong,

holding each breath we take

in the secrets

spoken in the ether

of tomorrows desires,

today’s pleasures,

in all the yesterdays

of hopes and goosebumps

that fly on butterfly wings.

          We belong.

 

We belong

in those seconds

of years

and decades,

where our tongues

touch in passionate expression

of elongated conversations,

the taste of strawberry sighs

and sticky fingertips.

          We belong.

 

We belong

in love,

in life,

in the world community

of each other’s arms;

in the sounds of breaths taken.

          We belong.

This is a beautiful love poem and the sensual bits are so subtle. Very nice. And I love that song of course. Nice to read you again. :)

See what I mean about not replying to your comment... only 3 months late.. Ana I love your comments, thank you

[Ana Papaya]

3 months compared to my 3 years? :)
I win.

[redzone]

but you have an excuse, me... er none

[redzone]

and we have the 3s... months, years, as long as not decades right...

[Ana Papaya]

Yes. That would be bad. :)

You leave me speechless, lingering in the reverberations of these words, and memories of once belonging in such a way.

As soon as I saw the title of your poem, I started singing the Pat Benatar song....and was so pleased you had the video here. Splendiferous romance in your words here, Curt. When you feel as though you belong with another person....really belong....it is a feeling unlike any other.

Heavy sigh....Curt, this one is so much more than nice.....just fantastic. Lydi**

Love Pat, and this song...
this poem is about love for each other and the feeling of belonging...even when we are separated.
But for me it has another meaning...my mother...gone six years, and she made so many quilts for me...i see rainbows now as her quilts as she makes them in her place in the sky.

Note. On my phone. I like to put your work in my library but it won't let me. Hopefully when I get back home.

Gorgeous sir. Belonging is true and part, parcel of relationships. We belong to The Source, to One Great Spirit, to each other and nature. All interwoven into oneness. Kudos
