A lifetime’s vista

L. B. Mek



 

 

You, with your back to me

My basketball shorts and office shirt

Hanging all over you

Your hair, wagging its tail rhythmically 

Ponytail comfort

While back of your neck, seduces me

Those small hairs, revealed 

With each sway of your ponytail’s flair

Are making music with my heartstrings

Then that classy touch of pearl droplets

Gleaming sunshine gaiety on a cloudy day

 

Defenceless, I approach stealthily

Desperate to not disturb

Such a sacred moment 

This be, that evolutionary rarity for a lady

Feeling free to let your guard down brazenly 

Bravely, my stuttering hand’s

Tiptoe around your waist

Knowingly, you fall back into my embrace

Wordlessly, in-sync

As I close my eyes and worship 

Feel of you

Taking breath, upon my chest

 

Beloved, I think this is what 

All their wars and inflated bank accounts 

Can never triumph over, shall never vanquish 

Simplicity of two heart’s lost in poetic symmetry 

These words I ink, testimony to a love

Insatiably innate

Sanctity of love’s, reciprocated veracity

Impossible to taint

 

I lay my fingers upon my chest, years later

There it remains, a moment anchored deep 

Within that pivotal essence of my existence 

 

Beloved, when I reply I love you more

This is why

Together, with everything else about you

That drives me wild

Yet, gifts me serenity in but a quirky smile

        L.B. I dive deeper than the surface of this loving song of praise to love. To me it encompasses love of all that one holds dear that "wars and inflated bank accounts" can never take away from us. A lovely ode.

        • L. B. Mek

          a beautiful interpretation, wise Poet
          indeed, anything inked in the name
          of triumphant love, surpasses
          romance, to encompass
          any n all things, deemed
          'a beloved' to someone..
          (thank you! for adding a valuable
          depth, to my humble words)

        • John Prophet

            thank you! dear Poet
            that 'usual' I shall treasure

              the sheer humanity in your words

              Passionate!

              • L. B. Mek

                (in the face of love, passion
                is absolute
                all else, is a mere impression
                of the real thing...)
                thank you dear poet
                so glad you enjoyed the read

                    Hyung, this thing we do
                    is kinda great
                    when we get it
                    kinda right
                    even if once, in awhile
                    (thank you! dear Poet supreme
                    if you say so
                    then I shall wear my collars up
                    all weekend long)

                    Beautiful moment to capture, your words breathed a fresh breath to such lasting moments.

                    • L. B. Mek

                      thank you, dear poet
                      how very kind, glad you enjoyed the read
                      (reliving, is as good as it gets
                      'after the fact'
                      or if we get lucky, we may get a chance
                      at recreating
                      a similar memento, we can but dream)
