The last few years
Like a dream
Honestly, Baby
I love that when you’re with me,
You say yes,
To everything
Remember our first movie
I laughed
You wore your boots
John Wayne, Ha!
We didn’t have a clue
I kissed you
When you opted
To shield my eyes
From everything
Destructive
Brutal
That cowboy’s demise
A powerful man,
I’d found,
Was suddenly mine
Our walk in the rain
No umbrella in sight
You made jokes about
White t-shirts
I flashed mine
And taunted you,
A bit
Licked my lips
I saw your eyes
Open wide
Thank you
For backing me up
Against that tree
Our eyes
Locking
So serious
Your mind
You told me,
It wasn’t easy taking risks
I silenced you with my kiss
Ran my hands through your hair
Pleaded with you
To take me
Right then
Right there
You said no
Much to consider
Not that night, but another
Do you remember
I’m glad we waited
It helped, you know
Taking it slow
The music you chose
Perfect
Reflective
Pensive
Baby, that’s you
Your skin continues to radiate
Keeps my skin tingling
This life we’re leading
Continues beautifully
Thank you for choosing me
Collaboration done with Nitin at ofnewdawns.wordpress.com This is the female’s version of a story between two people in love. To read the man’s perspective, please visit Nitin’s blog.
I enjoy Nitin’s poetry, immensely. He provides a raw, thoughtful and powerful image no matter the subject. Check his poem out and say hello. Thank you, Nitin. This was the most fun!

This was really well done. But I do wonder why they didn’t play with swords.

Thank you, Duketh. Well, that would be because you haven’t given me any lessons.

That’s because it could be maybe too dangerous for ladies!

Hey! You’re up late! Yes, it turned out nicely. Did you like the t-shirt mention? 🙂 He asked me earlier today if I’d like to write something together. Had it done in a matter of minutes, really. Have you ever written with anyone, Michael?
LikeLike
I had no idea a T-shirt (wet or otherwise) was even mentioned 😉 That’s my story and…
No, I have not written with anyone. I entertained the idea when I learned about the Renga form. I believe that is written by a group of poets, unsure.Mostly, poems come to me, some I complete in minutes, some I tweak for hours before publishing on my blog. Then I am not too proud to go back and change them if I feel the need.
I am up early, as always. 🙂
LikeLike
Darn. I was hoping you’d have caught that…
I see. It’s fun. Many ways to do it, and to achieve the proper result. Nitin and I had ours done in a matter of a few minutes an hour or so ago. I didn’t edit but a couple of words. It probably shows.

It reads fine, and I enjoyed it. Please let Nitin know, he has comments turned off on his blog.
I will try it sometime when I feel a little more in control of my writing. My poems have a mind of their own.

He looks to have been pinging my blog. They will probably be back up soon.
When you do, come to me. I’ll write with you anytime. I don’t spend a lot of time on my poems. I write poetry to release a lot of emotion I have left over from other writings. I am as off the cuff as they come. It shows and I’m sure I’m embarressing real poets daily.
