Forgotten Lands by Alisa Json a good day
you're so kind,
extraordinarily sweet
you catch me by suprise,
and I have to watch myself to guard within
not to tumble fast ...
your words, they comfort
they recognize
this tenderness I hide ...
I know we're friends
and those boundary lines
looming ever present,
get in the way of certain bliss
I see teasing from those sidelines
I feel whenever we speak,
I breathe each time
my thoughts turn toward
those forbidden realms,
we traveled once
in a foreign land
forgotten,
but not, by me ... 03/11/2007 Posted on 03/11/2007 Copyright © 2024 Alisa Js

Posted by Rhonda Maneki on 03/12/07 at 01:16 AM Ah, those lands have ships which pass between, carrying emotion and tenderness, those lands have boarders which are often times carefully opened to the other, each stands for a moment upon the others shore, in shared tenderness. Then there is the thing about murder of the heart - that cuts with words. Either forgot, either will ever forget...but, one is diligent the other unaware, for his boarders waver with the wind. She knows it...((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) |
Posted by Soulo Jacob Bourgeau on 03/16/07 at 06:15 AM Perhaps the very existence of the platonic boundary is complicit in the allure? Kinda like telling a child the cookie jar is off limits. An interesting topic wrapped in beautiful words, Alisa. |
