She! The ultimate intimate She!




Love…Among The Ruins

To speak of love at four score less a few desultory years

Is to talk of joy tempered with the spice of hard lived life

The gentle mist of memoried trysts the storms of impassioned arrears

Of money spent in disarray time squandered in unreasoned strife

 

Yet arriving here in disheveled ego I find myself confronted

Not with hubris but a mirrored smile that speaks to wisdom

Somehow miraculously acquired in drips and drabs unwarranted

But nevertheless posited and gently pasted to this harlequin 

 

She the intimate ultimate who has arrived to soothe this 

Tattered soul with gentle hands and cooling thoughts

While holding this bedraggled warrior with a warm kiss

Softly erotic embraces to share in equal droughts

Apart from being a damn good poem, with a theme that speaks to us, I particularly liked how you've chosen words that evoke a self that uses description - 'disarray, dishevelled, harlequin , tattered, bedraggled, that works so well in the poem - Bravo indeed!

Uncle Meridian has beaten me to expressing my thoughts on this. I completely agree that One can empathise and understand your point and meaning. So the thoughts are somewhat common, but the words and the way you have arranged them, are definitely unique and so, so valuable. Thank you for sharing.

"Tattered soul with gentle hands": that is the apex, for me. So beautifully expressed, and one knows exactly what you mean. Excellent to see you posting, Joe.
