I expand in your thoughts,
like an overflowing river,
that divides east and west
of the universe.
We were always on opposite sides,
as if someone placed us there
to see,
if we would fight an honest battle,
or just nonchalantly ignore
each other’s presence.
I have this unexplainable inkling
to return to your world
with a bang,
to shatter glasses on your desk,
and become the muse
of your sober days.
I want to seduce
your ability to stay awake
for hours, endlessly,
and I want to wet your lips
with my blood
instead of the wine
we used to share from one glass.
I want to be the secret,
that you have hidden away
under floorboards.
I want to do it so much,
I just don’t know how to.

“I want to be the secret,

These words are unbelievably romantic, and to me has an underlying possessive tone. What woman doesn’t want her man to cherish her like a queen? I’m finding it hard to pick a favourite poem of yours, this one sounds like velvet and banked longing passion. Delicious!
My understanding of romance is slightly different than others have, I guess, but I’m glad you picked that up 🙂 And yes, who doesn’t like to be adored?! I know I surely do 😉 Thanks for coming round, honey!
You are so talented. Oh btw, I’m back! Keep up the hard work and being amazing. Time to go catch up! 😀
You are as talented as you are beautiful. Thank you for your poetry.
Thank you for being here. I’ll go trip over your blog soon!
Amazing writing, Chatty, and I especially love
“I want to be the secret,
that you have hidden away
under floorboards.”
I have no doubt you know how! 🙂
Have a lovely weekend,
Lauren
Thanks Lauren 🙂 You’d be surprised – I really don’t know how to! 🙂
~whispers~ You my friend would be one hell of a secret.. :)Excellent writing,of course.
Ufff. Thanks honeyface.
You would be the best kept secret anyone would love to have.
thanks babe. I only wish.
Love ” I want to wet your lips
with my blood
instead of the wine
we used to share from one glass.”
Thank you. Glad you thought those lines were enjoyable to you 🙂
seductive with the simplicity of an atom, which is to say highly complex, explosive. tony
Ha. What a great thought… Simplicity of an atom, which is highly complex. I love this. Thanks Tony x
oh, what I would give for the mind of an owl – I so love your reflections on relationship
Im sure your mind is much wiser than mine! 🙂
what may pass for wisdom is nothing more than experience and education – my admiration of the owlish mind relates to my comments on Interlude – I know anonymity is important to you, but my sense is that you are wise beyond your relative youth, and lovely of heart -there is a highly enjoyable cosmopolitan sophistication to all that you write
Paul is a wise and observant man
Yes, you picked that up really well – my anonymity is very important to me, but I observe others with such interest, it leaves me breathless sometimes to see details about certain people. Thank you for being observant with me. And the praise about me being wise is the highest compliment I could receive from you.
Every line in this poem is strong and appealing. You certainly drew me in.
Thank you. That’s my aim.
Beautiful and powerfull writing Chatty, at moments it reminded me of a magnet, of something with amazing power and passion.
Thanks Oloriel… I think this poem was driven a lot by desperation, which makes the magnetic side of your comment slightly true 🙂
Lovely Words
Thank you.. R?
‘Seduce my ability to stay awake for hours’
Could make for an interesting night miss Owl…..
Interesting nights is what i strive for 🙂
😘
Didactic
Appreciated.
Chatty, my gallery is just over on Cork Street in Mayfair. I’m really not that far away.
Tell me more. What?!
I occasionally rent space at The Gallery on 28 Cork Street when I have appointments with my muses and models.
That is VERY good to know.
I drift into your words lovely lady as I do with every read. x
Drift away… Thats a pleasure for me.
🙂 x
Can it be that every time I read you, you leave me speechless ? …. You have such a natural talent, owly, you don’t write words, you make them fly.
Thank you a million times….
‘I want to be the secret,
that you have hidden away
under floorboards’
I mean, c’mon now…who writes that & gets away with it?? Um, you do, Ms Owl. Brilliant post. I love your prose because you are always so sure of yourself
I get away with it hahahaha you know, the thing that always makes me smile is your praise being so big, when you could be boasting about your writings instead! Because come on, your stories are amazing, your imagination is to be jealous of and your writing skills are outstanding!
Something sacred, playing gently with senses and emotions lurks in this poem. I’m bit scared.
That’s the whole point – the eerie mood that gives you shivers, yet draws you in 😉
I find the strongest muse is something you can’t ever have. I think you paint in brilliantly well here.
Something you can’t have equals a challenge. So yes, that makes one to go, to do, to achieve, to get.. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Im glad you thought it was thought-provoking enough.
“I want to do it so much,
I just don’t know how to.”
Witchcraft – it’s the only way 😉 – seriously, superb – thanks for sharing – Cheers J
Haha! Owl the witch. Hmmm. Why does that sound familiar? Oh yes, because i have heard that hinted at me before 😉
Quite an alluring muse. 😉
Quite something, huh?
hell yeah 😉
Erm, maybe just place a call. 🙂 (Loved this)
Smiling and winking. Thanks.
Urgh how good is this!!!! Major swoon Miss Muse
Major swoon even?! 🙂
😉
You’ll be safe in my floorboards! 😉
Just please dont cover the floor with a thick carpet that gathers dust 🙂
This isn’t the Diary of Ann Frank, I wouldn’t dream of it! You’ll have a fully furnished owls nest under there don’t worry! 😉
Then i cant wait 😉
