Conversation



Impossible to be myself...


I have to pretend

Nodding and wondering

This constant ‘what if’...


And what could I say

Where would I start

If only he knew

All this I keep in my heart…



There we are

Having coffee


You tell me so many things

And feel astounded

Why?

If you hardly know me

And I say

Because I am a good listener?


And while I do

I look at your hands

Which so well help communication

Go along

Oh

Those masculine hands

What I’d do with them

How far I’d let them go

What a waste…


You go on

For you see I am a good listener

And while I do

I am looking at your lips

That smile that comes

Now and then


And I see myself kissing you softly

All over your face

Then kissing your passion

In that mouth

Whose words…


Oh! (MG) your words!


Sorry…

What did you say?

Dulce:

Love your photo,
Yes -- sometimes I wonder why we talk so much and not embrace more.

Beautiful thoughts, beautiful words, the endless dance of lovers, SIGH!

Amazing style...amazing flow...captivating way of delivering real deep...emotional message....Hmm...only a poet/poetess can achieve this....and you have!

Dr. Cheryl Carvajal said...

I love the movement into different planes of reality--the dull conversation, his thinking, then the lust underlying the "listening"...

Fascinating, and beautifully rendered.

Bonjour tout le monde,

I'm astonished, really surprised for your hability playing with words, mixing your deep feelings and writing style. An incredible way to comunicate your emotions and to share them with your followers.

Believe me if I say that I'm quite proud, because apart to be a great teacher, you're also one of the best writers I've ever known last years. It's for me a pleasure to have the honour to meet you, and of course to have the privilege of enjoying your language knowledge.

Je t'embrasse bien fort!!

Hmmmmmm. Ummmmm..."What was it you said..."

My mind wanders now in the fourth quarter of life, as it did so consistently in the fourth grade.

So now (so what! you say?)
My wandering thoughts hover
Through all the hours of day
As those of one real lover
Of truth...not of frivolous
'Realities'--frequently nebulous.
--Steve E

Image of pretty girl. Is that YOU?
Not to mind, the disinterest is what shows. How many times am I talking too much...or worse--not listening to what is being 'talked'.

...And Dulce, leave it to YOU to be not listening, but mentally feeling hands, kissing the mouth, etc., etc., etc.

Eres graciosa Dulce, se te paso la regla?

Gracias por tu visita a mi espacio, y en adelante procuraré seguirte a pesar del poquisimo tiempo que dispongo.

Besito cielo.

The yearning of this poem is beautiful. You articulate that desire we have for another, that passion and longing. True, we can become consumed by our deep emotions, reality can fade until only the face of our beloved remains. A sensual poem, Dulce.

Desert Rose said...

Betty Manousos said...

She entirely surrendered herself to a man she loves...How charming!

Sorry for any inconvenience.

This is a wonderful piece also. I love the thought that there is a conversation going on inside one that is already going on. But the best part of it is that the language is one of love and infatuation and ever so sweet.

Adelina said...

Ha sido un placer leerte. Nunca es imposible ser uno mismo, aunque puede tener un precio muy alto.

Un beso.

Nevine Sultan said...

Sweetest Dulce, what I loved most about this piece was the fact that you showed the true human nature of who we are. Yes, sometimes we get distracted by our own thoughts, though the thoughts here were more distracted by the fantasies about the distraction himself. ;-) And oh! imagine what to do with those hands! If that isn't the ultimate fantasy!!! Always a pleasure to read these delightful and subtly naughty love poems you write, Dulce.

Love and hugs,
Nevine

I just noticed the photo on the sidebar... right above your avatar. Is that you? You are beautiful. ;-)

Lu Ann said...

Ah!! This is amazingly nice :) Wow... how much can we women dream about during a conversation... and get so lost within a dream of possibilities.
:) Sweet

GYPSYWOMAN said...

oh, my dear! and how many times have i had the same exact mental dialogue/conversation with "him" - feeling and wanting and not hearing those verbal utterances when his sideways glances and his hands said all without a word - beautifully done, lady!

Fickle Cattle said...

Hahaha. This poem is so sweet. :-) It happens to me too.

Wonderful! I love it and it just captures those moments when thoughts go in their own direction.

It made me smile - mucho.

Nikki (Sarah) said...

Ileana said...

Nicely done, primita! I love the part about the masculine hands and how far they'd go. Ha!

The ending was cute and funny...just chévere! :)

Victoria said...
