Warm Complexions

The center of the sky,
my mind flutters
with the long, white, linen curtains dancing in the wind,
circulating the scents
of fabric softener
throughout open abodes.

It is there, I rest my back against
a centered Romanesque pillar,
casting it’s shadow upon the many
dried paint brushes
that color warm complexions
to the surface of the ground.

The surface of sound
echo’s
of wooden wind-chimes
soft reverb, complimenting
the zephyr’s breath,
fulfilling my heart
with a cucumber
freshness.

Breathless
walls
collapse,
and my soul
becomes
one
with the center of the sky.

    “With Every Thought of You” was my favorite of your poems and is still pretty close with this one. You are a very romantic and dreamy writer.

    Some nice visuals in this one too.

    Bet you can tell I subscribe to the imagist concept of poetry, aye?

    Good job
