as good as it gets

to wonder is worse
then to know

while a tongue bleeds from the bites

and ears restrained

when love is anticipated

often on restless nights

 

finally
to be there
not here
to be less than temporary

 

and unite in dreamy thought

while the North wind approximates

it is invisible energy

and I hiss at venting
like that,

release, release

breathe

mist wisps and curls

when the night moans and cries

to need the other badly

to smother the restraints of soft sighs

these oppose all other sounds

where erect visits the depth

savor the essential scope

it spreads steadily

as a name changes to wild rumors
it is the giving

it is as good as it gets

to practice that particular technique

it becomes as sweet as receiving

good gravy you're good. I

good gravy you're good. I feel I falied you in feeling the exact intended meaning, and for that I apologize. How long have you been writing?

You can never fail

@ interpretations the audience is the reason! The reason we write, whether meaning is direct or indirect that is not my intent. The intent is to entertain and to stimulate the readers to think, in some small way to stretch the boundary of their own mind's eyes. As for writing it goes back many, many years, I’ve always found poetry to be a gratifying experience along with a level of catharsis. Thanks for your commentary, enjoy.

Peace

Dylan
