Ever think of that? Bodies, lines and desires...

Celestial? Close, but not yet touching

Like old lovers to new discoveries

In that first great heat and darkness,

Putting and pulling their forms to form

Some majestic untouchable display...

Ever really thought of that?

Be like the moon...

    Oh this is dreamy. Like Shirley said...complex and simple...but there is almost an effortless quality to it. Very well done, sir!

  • Untouchable display indeed. Loved your poem!

    Another great quote. The nature of things is all I think about, so yes, always thinking about things. Moon is awesome. Much to think about.
