I, You Implore!
My last poem for the month of June.
I stumbled into a poem
Rolled and rolled
Catching threads
Of a story
Watching
Waiting
For it to unfold
I picked apart it’s golden threads
Wrapped myself in it
Just like I was caught up
In a spiders web!
It told me of worlds
Where only the mystical
Live
I learned about heartbreak
And love
My eyes filled with stardust
And I danced with the gods!
I was taken on journeys
So wild
And carefree
I dodged the rude words
Til my heart snuggled with beauty
And I learnt about doves
These wonderful poets
Imparted such wisdom
They shared the secret
To Life
While, all the while
I was being seduced
By the birds
And the bees
Carried away on the wind
I caught my breath
And allowed myself
To float on the breeze
I don’t want the falling
To end!
I want to keep tumbling
Have their words
Stick to my skin
I dream of a world
Where butterflies flutter
And the poetry of lovers
Drenches my soul
Oh, poets unite!
Wrap me in silk
Bring me in to your fold
It is with you
That I will gladly grow old!
Send me your sonnets
Teach me how to write!
Share with me
Your demons
And what keeps you
From sleeping at night
My soul is yours
I hold you in awe!
Let’s tango together
We will keep this life
In the raw!
I could keep on falling
For ever more
Please stop it
Dear poets
I, you implore!
C.K.23.

Thank you Clare.
Your picture of falling reminds me of Alice in Wonderland tumbling down the rabbit hole.
I do love Tango music.
