"Love Poem for Charlie"
Mon Sep-12-05 12:19 AM by delrica

  

          

(twice in ONE month? wow...)

love poem for charlie

eyes closed...i see you whisper
"i love you" to a stranger
and mean it
smoothe bourbon cascades down the back of my insides
guiding me with its fingertips
til i sway with you

the vibrato beckons me
to a slow crawling embrace
and we slow dance
my head perched against your shoulder
your fingertips melt into my spine
and we stand there gazing into the music

charlie
we are timeless
fermented love
stinking up the night sky with our song
flirting in smiles
rocking side to side
holding me like a lost child
that you, charlie, are bringing back home

interlocking fingers
your alto is superman
and i walk with you in the heavens
flying across cities,
it is winter and we are warm
butterfly kisses migrating south

i inhale
reach out for you, charlie
and you take my hand
leading me around the ballroom floor
in billows of smoky music
softly caressing my cheek
you take me there charlie
you walk with me
and we dance
like grandparents celebrating silver
renewing their vows
while everyone stands in wonder and joy

and we dance yardbird
i become a dirvish
close my eyes
fall into you

and surrender

To what do we owe the pleasure of TWO in ONE month? -- *chuckles* --

Don't take this the wrong way -- (((PLEASE))) -- But when you come down off your pedestal and mingle with us on the board -- Rollin' ^UP^ your sleeves and sharing thoughts, ideas, and emotions -- You seem more like a MODERATOR (whoze one of "us") -- Rather than just a *mythical goddess* who only throws out lightning bolts when threads need to be locked or ARCHIVED.

I appreciate your participation -- And your sharing -- *Really I Do* --


And this flow is mos' def' yummy & heavenly -- *Forreal Tho*

Uh...

I don't know quite know how to respond to that, Photo *chuckles*

I don't write often, so when I find something worth sharing, I share?

This one in its unedited form is by far one of my favorites (and I don't have many personal favorites of my writing).

Ok, I'm blushing now. I'm going to bed.

This is beautiful.
This is purple.

I read it, then closed my eyes... and I could visualize that moment in all of it's smokey, purple colors.

I think I see purple because, on one hand, there's a melancholy vibe to it... not in a sad, depressing sense, but in a sense of pensive reflection or contemplation on the passing moments in the arms of Charlie. So there's blue for melancholy...

And there's red because the emotions described here are sultry!

So I see the blue through the red filter and get purple.

I like the title as it is -- I like the mystery & ambiguity of it -- The fact that it can be interpreted in more ways than ONE ...

But if you'd rather be specific -- So folks *KNOW* fa sho' -- Then by all means -- Make it clear.

*It's ^UP^ 2 U*

This was a seamless flow of thoughtful feeling. I very much enjoyed your language...it almost felt like a movie...the way you painted this picture. And it was very good. Loved this piece. Thumbs North. ~one~

If your subject line is referring to who Charlie is...

*shakes head and smiles* (I'm grinning because I had a feeling someone was going to say that)

It's in the poem who Charlie is.
