green shirt
white shorts
mellow music
your book
and a walking plan
peppered kisses
soft words
blissful
sweet satisfaction
echoes of
your voice
a little burn
on my face
our beautiful dance
the message you
left behind
by leaving all this behind
is right here
where I can’t possibly
misplace it
it speaks
loudly
clearly
fully
and strongly enough
that I can’t possibly
mistake it
it will get me through
the days
you can’t be here.
days when I might
otherwise
have grown
just a little afraid
you’d left me behind.
This is wonderful! You inspire me to try writing again. Thanks so much!
You totally should, Karen! It’s amazing once that door gets opened. 🙂
Once you have grown you are no longer left behind.
Peppered kisses aside, The echoes of your voice still reside.
I like this very much CJ! Thank You for sharing your thoughts and intimate feelings.

Oh, I LOVE that Jeffrey! 🙂 Especially the first line. Completely true.
You have inspired me as well. I have been through the wringer. You poems, muses and writings contain feelings that I have been able to associate with.
Thank you CJ.
I will still be sarcastic!
