The texture of your poerty is electric. Love the imagery. Thank you for sharing, DL Mullan

A beautiful and memerizing poem.......M

love the beautiful internal and external reasoning and rhyme here, Kartero. Crisscrossing, lacing, stitching-up: seems like this kind of emotional dream patchwork is worth staying up for, whose outcome quilting will have a wondrous story to tell. Fabulous echoes of Blossoming Color in this one, too, so maybe it's that refreshing breath of cool night air that you need to aid and abet both a good night's sleep and a long night's active vigil. Great phrase: "capitulate to your emotional syntax", suggestive of both surrender on agreed terms and tactical play: clever dualism in small space of words. For activities which both, in their way, require some deal of concentration, this has a wonderfully relaxed feel and tone. Have a good night, Senor! :)) xx

Jude, you've done it again. Made me wish I was the subject of one of your pieces.

Beautiful. Liz

Productive...

love and passion, "blossoming with dreams bold and pure" -- it is beautiful Jude -- peace,love and joy -- JMW

Seems like a fine balance of heart and mind but you as always bring our thoughts into each line as we contemplate the rich tapestry of words you always offer.

It is a delicate balance between digesting the realities that surround a relationship and the desire to jump into the soothing passions of a physical encounter. My advice to anyone in this situation would be to sleep on it and reconsider taking up the physical in the morning when you can move forward with proper perspective. Such a lovely poem, Jude; soft and introspective.
Take care,
Sherry

Who could sleep when those emotinal thoughts assault the senses?
Dreams that gather the petals of elusive nature are worth to keep.

Jude, sleeping on it does seem to have it's benefits, but it's much better to sleep with someone that stirs your passion and sates your desires.
Peace, love, and light,
