Sage Sweetwater, unrivaled, bringing you the Upper Tier in lesbian erotica...Sage Sweetwater, the exceptional ARTIST of literary lesbian poetic prose...


windmill pumped
its last drop of water,
your thighs still imprinted
on our bed when my cup
runneth over, quilt folded in
thirds, Mason full, farmhouse
clean, I leave it to those with a
liking of Amish weather vanes, stooks
of barley grains, eight sheaves, a harvest
home, whiskey writes saddle and horsehair
words, quills and manes, I ride through the red
clover,

tip my hat to
you sitting under
our oak tree by the
creek as I ride by, fresh
hay-hook initial carved into
the picnic table, see her peek
from your window, pane of glass
shatters, her hand reaches out to
you, your lips bleed with your pain
of regret,

the Celts celebrating
Lughnasa, Pagan, I took
the kern doll to church, a
loaf of braided bread given
to me in return for the harvest
supper, several pints of hard cider
and I saw the reaper, she wielded
her scythe in the shape of a hay hook,
you were the binder stooking the sheaves,
stoned, reminder, I remember hearing your
passion rattle our eaves, windmill pumped its
last drop of water, your thighs still imprinted on
our bed when my cup runneth over, quilt folded in
thirds,

I...

Not easy to read but I absolutely love the style.
Plus the song. Would you pls tell me the title? These two elements together were touching me deeply.

filled with the images of your world - but strangely the reaper speaks in this symbolism - "I leave it to those" whose world it is: but can say that I can admire the "intentionaly 3-tiered style of your poetic creations that has been some experience in the making. The words & work of a long experienced quill artist!
"A cup of wonder" to you: michael

Sage I love to read you because you put me right there in the scene you are writing about, you bring it all alive so vividly. I think you are a brilliant writer Sage.

It's true you have a lot, lot, of detail but I like the images normally evoked and the familiar, often homespun objects in the images. The mood is always evident as well. What in the world is stook? Can't find it. Cheers

The imagery in this is incredible...just beautiful. And the attention to detail, like "quilt folded in thirds"...Your words read as though I were watching a film.

"quilt folded in / thirds, Mason full, farmhouse" . . . Why is it when you sit down to pen your pensive and eloquent writes do you give the reader so much to contemplate . . . Only you, among every other writer I have ever know constantly and passionately blends the in-your-face explosions with a wonderful and pleasing nostalgic bit of wordsmithing and somehow fuses it all together into a powerful moment in literary writing . . . I firmly believe that you, no matter how much praise you receive during your years on earth will be nothing to what will come after you have ascended to your lofty perch after breath leaves your body . . . There is only one other person I can think of who will have that sort of idolization bestowed up them and that would be another free thinker . . . Aberjhani
