Call Back the Day: a poem



Call Back the Day


When I leave you at night
I always look back
drawing a last melancholy ballad
from your eyes.

When you are
out of view, shivers
happen.

They slide

through me

like tears.


I call back the day
when you brush by me,

tending my ass
with your palm.

    Yes - very steamy!

    Though i feel sorry for the Donkey (bad joke - consider my hand slapped!)

    Seriously - "drawing a last melancholy ballad" - that's lovely imagery

    Well, I do like how you slip that last bit in at the end. But all of it is quite nice (including the labels: get your loving' at home).

    @Steve- Wow (that's wow backwards), thanks!

    @Pixies- Your comments, both complimentary and comedic, are appreciated as always. :)

    @Wayfaring Wanderer- but, but, all (good) (and bad) things come to an end. :)

    @Jennifer- A.Mazing that you'd comment on the label because when I tagged it that way I thought Jennifer's gonna get this, not for any particular reason other than your labels are always pertinent to your topics.

    @Buddha- Thanks.....I think!
    Oh, and you can find out all about the guy here ... :)

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
