Serape

[Tanner]

When 2 people speak intimately
Perhaps in whispers

An almost imperceptible aura
Starts to glimmer

Nestles down comes to sit quietly
On their shoulders

They are startled by the arrival
Of this brightly

Coloured serape but continue
Their conversation

[MHenry]

And those around them are stricken by the beauty of it!
Nice, Tanner. Intimate yet understated observation of the joy of coupling.

[DWAYNE]

In those few words you have captured the essence of intimacy. The collective cultivation of a new entity, we.

[Tanner]

MHenry and Dwayne, this poem was actually inspired by the title. I wanted to keep it clean and simple. MHenry and Dwayne, I particularly like your phrases "joy of coupling" and "new entity, we" - I fear you guys are too astute and wide ranging in your observations.

Oh I really like this too Tanner - it speaks of the essence of 'coupleness'. And I also like MHerny's and DWAYNE's comments referencing the influence it has on those around them, and 'the cultivation of ...we'. Just a beautiful image of when things are going rightly.

I think this aura also visits you when you write.

[Tanner]

RLW, you see you have had a influence of my poetry and steering me toward a positive mindset. Much appreciated. Listen LG, I wish the Aura would camp out over and around me.

Limpidly lyrical. I had never encountered the word serape before. To me, at first sight, it had hints of the divine about it, echoing the name of the god Serapis and the bright flaming seraph. Now that I know what it means, I still bear my fanciful freight to it.
