Summer Love (A Repost)

In the spring of love
I would sing of love
I wrote an ode to love
said it was safe to love
even said ok to love
I looked for love
I even booked a love
first class flight for love
supposed to be gone
over night for love
hopefully
for the rest of my life for love
but I ran from love
after I took a stand for love
cuz I didn't understand the love
too many demands for love
I threw my hands up at love
then I found out
what they told me about love
it wasnt love at all
it was me...
I lost my summer love
Becuz I didnt trust the love
I always fussed with love
I cussed with love
and love cussed me back
Love promised me
a big comeback
Another chance at love
a peaceful love
a new lease on love
a place to love
another taste of love
a time to love
I know....
you get what you ask for
But was it a crime to love
...it wasn't my love
but I stole the love
I told the love
that I'd be there for love
and I stayed for love
while I still prayed for love
my own love
I layed with love
I played with love
every night with love
our own place to love
our time and space to love
it was supposed to be love
it looked like love
smelled like love
tasted like love
time wasted like it was love
but...
it left a bitter taste
in my mouth
becuz it was someone else's love
now, Im mad at love
Im sad at love
lonely for love
I turned my back on love
cuz I lost track of love
and in my lack of love
is a hate for love

damn,
I hate to wait for love!
I become irate for love
It's too late for love
when you think that love
will be on time for love
It never does.
I made a date for love
I even set a plate for love
I set my watch for love
making sure I wont be late for love
gonna be on time for love
this time, my love
why did I say that...
It's getting late my love
where is my love
my summer love
...love is late again

I think the fall
is the best time for love

In My Lifetime

Even if you never believe,
I desire to see stars
twinkling in your eyes again

I have a strong longing
to walk out into the fresh morning air
and hear your gentle voice speaking again
and feel you laughing again
as I listen attentively,
smiling deep within
You have been hiding away,
like a hermet... wasting away for far too long
Your soul is growing dirth
when it should be growing strong,
waiting for
and demanding that perfect happiness
to come along

I pray you find it,
claim it,
treasure it,
and bask un-anxiously in the pleasure of it
in my lifetime

I pray the latch fall from your cage of fear
with a force that makes you can't help
but be buoyant again,
love sprightly again
and create beautiful music, nightly, again,
May the Springs freshest rain
plummet from the skies
baptizing thee in patience,
understanding,
peace,
and harmony
May the chains on your guarded heart
loosen
I bequest you be granted permission to love
and, for once, be the stronger --
the seeker
.....
and not the weaker

May you, with the authority of a poet
court candy-coated kisses
and permit them to adorn your skin
with the fever
of a brand new Spring
....
because that's when everything's growing again!


Even your fingertips
that have scratched your head in wonder
might they no longer disturb your sleep,
but allow new growth to be the balm
that calms
and the psalms you scribe
be the promises that you keep
.....
in my lifetime

Might the first feelings of infatuation never leave you
and all throughout your love
breathe through you
a new beginning
because it's due you
Let the passion that lurks under covers
be like bubbles in seltzer water
pop, pop, popping again
because I never want you to be lonely again
......
No, not in my lifetime


And....while the angels prepare a place for thee
in that beautiful heavenly dynasty
I hope you never regret stopping here
and taking the time to know
this world needed you,
this world wanted you
You made so many people smile
and happy
and fulfilled
You made them believe in something
......
your presence healed

I am honored
I am moved
I am tickled...lol
to share even a little space with you
to run this race with you
and even to come face to face with you

in my lifetime

Forecast...Rain

----------------------------------------------------

Forecast...Rain

....rain rolled in fast while we were taking in the groceries from the car. The last few bags got soaked, and so did we.  Once inside, we put the bags on the table, and went to the windows to watch the downpour.  We loved watching the rain.  There was something so intimate in being quiet, and listening to the patter of raindrops over the Earth.
To me, it's like God's encore on His handiwork for us being fed, and nourished.
It is up to us if we think it is a nuisance, or a blessing.

I snuggled in closer to him, as we leaned on the rails of the patio, looking out over the horizon, and smelling the freshness of the moment.
I slipped my hand under the back of his shirt, and began gently massaging his back,
trying in some small way to relax him from the challenges of the day.
He liked that.  He just smiled....and sighed.
He said nothing, he didn't have to, and I didn't either.  There is always so much in his smile, and that soft 'Mmmmm'   It sends cringes of electricity all through me.

The aroma of the wind blowing fresh raindrops down to the Earth is so soothing to me. Coupled with good music, and being in a secluded place, with the one you desire most in the world. you could say, at that moment, I had it all.  The rain served as the music.
Nothing was more important right then.
Just that we were together, we were safe, and we were at the only place 'we' wanted to be. That was enough for me.
He reached over, and kissed me on the cheek.  You would have thought he gave me a million dollars, by the smile on my face.  Jagged fingernails carved sensual graffiti up and down the side of my face as his skin warmed my skin.  He knew what it was doing to me, and he knew he was turning me on.  Taking my arm that was under his shirt, I pulled him to me, looked into those dark, longing brown eyes, and kissed him.
Our tongues eased into each others mouth, as softly as the rain poured down over the Earth.  As the Earth exhaled, so did we.
Slow.  Soaking.  Sensual kisses....one by one.
He let my hands move over his torso, as a pianist strokes keys that make music that makes the ears tingle with adore and delight.
Delightful to me, his touch.  Insightful for me, is his desire.  Because it was mine to fulfill. I was his audience, and he, mine.  We loved rescuing each other.  We knew each ether's bodies and what they needed, and when.  We often became lost in each others song.  No words.  Just Mother Nature's music, playing until our immediate desires ebbed.

A flawless performance...every time.

An encore....and another one....as the rain covered the Earth....
and we covered each others body....with our own.

All Of Me

All Of Me



to know this life
and the thrill of chasing the cool touch of it
on fingertips....
dangling and applying it's balm
to barren lips
lips that hold my heart
within it's touch
trust you?
trust you..like I trust my reflection?
are you for real?
do you realize that once broken...
my life will never the same


Come....come and talk to me
Listen....While I perform for you
While I talk to your spirit..with my spirit
through the waves of raw emotion
while my smile tells you how I really feel

Watch closely...
for my glow just may let my secrets show
Then my words will become a poem...
a scribe of which every movement
every question,
every answer,
and every sigh...is a word.
Clusters of words
I've wanted to say to you.
Words you have already heard
but not like I say them

Watch closely
as I twirl my body across the room to you
My body sways into shy dents
I curtsy at your feet.
I no longer try to hide any emotion
........moving slowly
with the rhythm of what you give me to hear
Do I act like I've waited a long time
for those thousand words of love
stored up
for a thousand rainy days
meant to be spent unwrapping
in a thousand different ways

Yet, I want you to feel who I am, today.

It is not flirtatious
that we met...
It is destiny we have yet to fulfill.

Our eyes to actually meet...

Moving around your body
so gracefully,
as if I know it
like I know my own.
You feel the fire of my emotions
by the complex contours
my torso takes.

I would move the heavens
to be with you
if I thought
that's what it would take.

If just one smile
could reach you...
and explain the depths
of my want.
Then you would see

You would feel me.

I want you to feel me.
Feel every thing about me,.
Feel who we could be
together
It wouldn't be a single sway...
but a dance

Our dance.

Woman,
don't you know...
You are the heartbeat,
you are the flame
you are the song
that I hum
I could dance for you
all the day long

I canto to you daily
in a voice that only belongs to passion,
a rhythm that only writes songs for love
...that longs....for you to hear

to hear me
to see me
to know me
I wait..for you to show me
all of you

Stuck in Gravity





"Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside?" Job 38:16-19




Spinning
Spinning
Spinning
drunk
on cloud writing
Righting my own wrong
Singing my own song
so reality can't make me
and what's not real can't destroy me
Watching vanity
pour
pour
pour down on me
while insanity hypes me
I don't know nothing
Stuck in waves of unsolvable conundrums
existing
inside of me
Where can I hide
Where can truth be loosed?

Catch me,
fetch me,
.......find me
floating free
transformed by my aura's molecular strategy
wasting into and fro
in the land of beginning again

Stop this crazy thing
I want to be divulged of this thinking

Blinded,
hypnotized,
criticized by limits
by imaginary sand blocking my distance
A mirage they call it
land.....nearby
but the force of it celestial
should I?
should I?
should I....
once again
tap into this hunger?

Miscellaneous waves
rocking me
The pressure,
the hardness,
the inflexibility of not knowing
if I'm sober or not
What determines it?
Who can know me....

except the One who made me

Hard Saying Goodbye

It's easy to meet good people.....


All you have to do is open your mind and your heart to life lived as a journey, and not a struggle. I know each one of us can tell of a different struggle that has helped form who we are, where we are, and where we are headed...from here.  Life has been good for the most part, we can all concede...because we are still here
 
We have pressed on through these years in spite of setbacks, accomplishments, pain, joy, a sense of belonging in each others lives, and the changes that have kept us in touch..in spite of.  While others have come and gone, lost their way back, or gave up, we remained..until the end.  We are still here.....enjoying new experiences day after day.  I don't know about you...but that means something to me
 
We do so much and give so much to others at times when we don't realize it, at times when it's just what the Doctor ordered, and at times when we didn't know that somebody understood what we couldn't explain...in Poetry, comment, or our own version of reality as we perceive it.  Whether we accept it or not, we all have God's love, power, provision and peace covering our lives.
 
You may think your efforts and sacrifice go unnoticed, on my part, but they never will.  I pray your faith in me and your enjoyment of my postings, my comments, and our connection will be rewarded in a way I can't possibly repay you.  There is no monetary accounting of the smiles, the warm feelings, the virtual high fives I send when I "get you', when you 'school me', and when we are "right there" more times than I can count.  It is through sharing my spirit, which is free to travel the world and embrace each one of you in your unique essence, with like spirits, and even learning from diverse spirits that I am still learning about life.  And like someone told me a long time ago...."anything that don't grow, ain't nothing to it".  It is here I have to reluctantly concede to Multiply for wanting to branch out into other areas. 

It's so hard to say goodbye.....

Although....I don't like saying goodbye, I will just say...see ya later.  I hope to connect in the next meeting place designed to bring us more in contact with our strengths in unity rather than our weaknesses in diversity.
 
Continue living your life the best way YOU know how.  Thank you for every moment spent in your presence.  Your presence has been my 'present'.  And, even though I don't say it, I hope in a general sense, I proved that I love you, and you, and you...and you and you....and the rest of you all too.     I pray each of your lives is about to take a positive turn and I look forward to seeing you...around....
 




Love, Peace, Friendship, Joy, and Safety to you all,

Joyce A, Cooper [aka jakuper]
