Over the wire the soft sound of her voice
My eyes closing, her words taking me
Places longing to be – times possibly remembered
Fantasies playing in my head
Cold winter nights (two forms by firelight)
Her embrace enough to keep away the chill
Never wanting for this time to end
Yearning for the press of lips
Desiring her scent to cloy me
To drink her in with all my senses
Too soon the moment passes
Rudely sent back to reality
A soft pain of loosing swells
The space between us tragic
So many reasons for us both to let go
Yet a strong resounding yes (do you feel it to?)
Mind and eyes wide
Waiting for the next time
Able to loose myself in her world.

Beautiful, but then you could do no less. :) The girl it is about is very lucky! *hugz*
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
