Tuesday, December 20

no star


it’s getting more and more lonely
this December night,
lost childhood
and weary elves
which no longer occur

no more kisses under mistletoe

my courage trembling
at my temples,

my chest getting impatient
like my  thighs

wonderful neglected verbs
longing  to emplore

somewhere to grasp
my new miracle
my axiom
or just a manger…

Beautiful Dulce! I hope you will consider sending me an email about what you are grateful for to add to this year's gratitude word quilt. It will be posted on my blog on Dec 31st. I am collecting expressions of gratitude from around the world.
Gentle steps,
Laura

so sad

Joseph Hesch said...

The loneliness here is so strong to me. The speaker looking to hold on to someone, something stronger than they are. Or maybe just to hold.

Lovely work, Dulce

Your poem speaks to me of a bud of creativity ripening to burst forth in the coming year.
Beautifully written; hestitant, yet expectant.

A bit pulled in to the point I'm not sure what I am feeling or thinking besides that I know I liked it because if I didn't, I don't think it would not have spoken to me the way it did! This was very touching to me... very amazing poem!

Right here with you Dulce

"no more kisses under mistletoe

my courage trembling
at my temples,

my chest getting impatient
like my thighs

wonderful neglected verbs
longing to emplore"


Yup I couldn't just choose one. It's right there with my newest poem "Wilt" on my blog. http://poetwhispers.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/wilt/

"My chest getting impatient / Like my thighs" and "No more mistletoe" speak exactly to where I am now.

It's such a big honor to me that you have had the time to come, to visit, read and comment.

THANKS a million for your so meaningful 'concerns.'

I am sincerely delighted and grateful for this.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my readers.

BE at peace and love- sense them both. :-)

On one hand, you sound very lonely, forlorn, sad, Dulce. Like "nobody love me" etc.

Then again, you write about your new miracle! So...there is hope?

As usual, I have trouble understanding ...BUT...as usual, your writing is (phew!) WOW! so good!

HAPPY DAYS OFF, teacher!
and...PEACE!
