We reached out with health & received the old man’s blessing
Money & contentment - save some, spend some, give some away

Meet me in my mind

VAGI SAMUEL JNR

I carved the edges of her contouring waist
My palms shaking to the heat from her skin
Her guise tempting about a starving teen
As I muted her lips with no time to waste

This moment was not reeling enough
She begged me from the softness of her persona
Perhaps as a Don Juan or Casanova  
For the touch she felt made her to laugh

We did chase the dreams of nothingness
Day to a night would my mind incarnate
Her dawn was like the aging of stillness
That each time we met we would replicate

We were innocent as romance forged us
Brave young lovers beneath subliminal abstracts
Teasing distrust to the melodies of toiling mast
That which we embodied befalling extracts

We cried together like rain healing dry cracks
We smiled at each other as if it were out last
We held hands to the memories of our past
We never did and never had as we made tracks

Meet me in my mind once more delicate beauty
Decapitate the affairs of promiscuous epitome
Imaginations shall succumb before a veto of reality
If you are authentic, then now I beseech your vow to me

Thanks for the accolade Michael and Raymond!

Impressive - and very different voice from previous poems you have posted Vagi.

The diction in particular stands out. Quite a departure. Well done - I think.

Raymond Sigimet
