Flapping in your breeze

March 25th 2008 18:37
I thought I'd write a bit of poetry. I've never published poetry before. I only ever wrote it for my husband. I was going through a few of my old things tonight, as I always do around the anniversary of his death, and found a few poems I wrote for him.


Flapping in your breeze

Wrap me in the my favourite blanket
the rough, rugged wool of your personality.

The one I mended
made a few slight alterations on
by stitching up the frayed edges
and darning those darn holes

with my delicate touch

while I got high on coffee and tobacco smells

and the smell of a working man’s sweat
and the feel of your threads
the fibre of your being

Making love to you is like
a blanket and a sheet
going through a full-cycle
wash me in your perspiration
rinse me in your tears
spin me out
and hang me out to dry

right next to you.

Let’s flap in each other’s breezes

love it...Ann 1....and I am most particular about poetry...

it has energy, passion, and life, it breathes a reality and a time once lived...

you write in a rather masculine way it seems...

cheers
