last night
i took you
to bed
and we got
intimate
on cool linen
you mirrored
my weakness
reflected
vulnerability
and your
skilfully
crafted
frame
spoke
of the
limitations
i would love
to deny
with tender
honesty
you let me
see
the things
that are
without
breaking
me apart
you let
me touch
not minding
all
the moistly
smears
i left
blurring vision
for a moment
you loved me
in small
doses
opened
my eyes
without
enforcing
what i’m not
yet ready
to see
when i got
bold
enough
to come
you close
i didn’t see
the borders
any more
just my eyes
reflecting
all the needs
you’ve met
decades ago
when the nails
that held you
unframed
my life
join us over at willow’s place

>First of all it appears that Miriam is following in her mother's footsteps and is already writing beautifully.Secondly, my apologies for not responding earlier to your comment from over a week ago, I am just starting up with this and forgot about Google and WordPress so I didn't check them.And most importantly, I love your imagery…words wrapped in dried up leaves, escaping a moist and rich soil like earthwormsand plucking letters like ripe grapes. your words have become a camera capturing all that is around you.
