In the Arena

Is the old way out?
in this way only is
romance about
the way I love you

I can sense you in the area
on a sign outside where
the gates to the ocean open
lay the earth behind my blinds

A wedding bell chimes
the lull to be kept in
pursuing a hope without gradually
caring whatever that means
growing within love
in the beginning
dreaming there is no left there

Squeezed by her legs
and pressed into the sun
a place a home
the earth behind
my blinds
opening the floodgates of an ocean.

I keep getting hung up on the "squeezed by her legs" part. I'm blushing but don't know if i should be?

rivercat said...

hi juniper, thnx so much for the nice comment. Youre a goddess of words, thoughts, and formatting text and always inspire me! <3

Hi zoned, yes and no, the sun rays are her legs too, and I got that from a legend about capturing the sun so it would be more accommodating. Althought the florida sun is kind of malignant, i still love it, even though I dont go to the beach as much as I used to. All that said, It is as much about both kinds of warmth as one and not just individually ( if that makes any sense)

I think youd like this if you havent read it ... I remember a long time ago post on creation from your blog, and I liked that because I didnt know much about taht one <3

A difficult one this one.
I sense the real climax here
'pursuing a hope without gradually
caring whatever that means
growing within love
in the beginning
dreaming there is no left there '

dreaming there is no left there...this is ambitious.
