Inconceivable

by Leslie Ann Eisenberg

That night, lissome girl wonders on her love
to be lover after meeting is not accidental

after all, she’s accustomed to
the familiar knawing at her heart

and daydreams of swimming in a
River that adores the stroke of her skin

Is this more than explosive déjà vu
Could this be farewell to dreams

Kisswhispers wake her like a bell,
“Now our journey can begin”

Glory is the morning revel in the treasure
of touches, together, moments, Infinite

Seashore eyes peer down atop a skyscraper frame,
eyes that have already taken her, completely

And when his toothy grin sings “Follow me,”
every last wondering vaporizes,

And she does

But too often we allow our heart to follow something we can't name. I think it's a truth that does make us free, and hopefully glad. Much enjoyed this poem of your, nice, very nice. Thanks.

There is much time between Fieldwork and this - I liked going back and rereading that and then rereading this. It made for a deeper experience, both of which I enjoyed. Thank you.

I love the use of imagery and wordplay as this unweaves. Very nice Leslie!

this is good, scattery and a bit shattery. i love it for that. this is pieced apart and sharp, it's got a finish that is like fangs in the neck. pinpoint accuracy. i liked the language and your few changes were better than what was. you're a smart poet i think, not too much of a thinker, but a bright let it flower. this is so good...i missed your work. excelente.

The concise wonder of this is enchanting, and transmits the essence of the quickness of transformation and the twinkling beginning of love~ the word choice is conscious and lissome, kisswhispers flow like a River throughout!
