Ripening grain waved
In the summer heat
A crow's call splintered the silence
Our dog crawled into the shade
To gnaw his bone in peace
The clay soil cracked open
As if gasping for air
And I thought of you
What a powerful attraction
Of you just lying there in bed
Collapsed, contented, smiling
Quilt thrown on the floor
The way you said my name
My heart quickens at the thought
I think of escaping this work
Of rushing back home
To be there at your side
And touching you again

Ah yes.. I see the power of love shining brightly through this beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully executed :D
Whew! When you speak of this power, your poem fairly bursts with energy. This is my new favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy new favourite too...you've excelled yourself with this one !
Deleteaw...love has that magnetic power..a sweet power poem :)
ReplyDeletePowerful sensuality you have written here. I like how you set the tone and then wow. That's the power of love
ReplyDeleteThe fields of grain made me think of DH Lawrence - except you condensed the desire more succinctly...he however took 500 pages at least!
ReplyDeleteGrain. sun, passion, desire, love all captured in the feelings of intimacy. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe power of love is so beautifully reflected in your poetry. Loved reading it! Extremely well written!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and poignant memory....you make us see her contented smile, feel your urgency of rushing home to see her again........Sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh, you really excell when you write romantic poetry. This is beautiful, powerful. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat powerful images of contentment you build here. Great work!
ReplyDeleteold fashioned romance, there is nothing like it. This reminds me of a time when people, couples, connected, they touched, they felt there, were sensations not just fingers hitting keys on a phone. This has imagery, not just words to give a thought but create actual images, they're digestible they are dessert.
ReplyDeletewarm and alive Robin and a powerful light that can never be extinguished.
ReplyDeleteKind of reminds me of the song "The Farmers Daughter"....delightful.
ReplyDeleteI know it's winter where you are, but this has all the heat of summer.
ReplyDeleteOh yes..that's the power of love!! Fantastic lines.....:)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a powerful memory to overcome.
ReplyDeleteYou'd end up with something besides grain ripening.
