Happenstance and the moon

[lunar glide]

You left your luculent skin
on my night-table again
something to do with
all of my dreams
the because, the so sad happiness,
the I love you because you complete me
the worthy love of a diver in slavishness

because I love you because
you do not complete me
the forgetting
Eden began
a night mother let her guard down
and we made each other
without presupposition
beethoven could take my little fingers
to coparticipate with the moon
running across the piano
rising without feeling itself
teardrops taking shape
breaking the morning
dear happenstance
because I love you.

You left your luculent skin

Barely got through these lines and I was instantly enthralled. Beautiful, LG!

lunar glide, I havd been reading a lot of contemporary poetry in journals recently, and this piece easily stands alongside the best of what I have read. The lyricism, the truly poetic eye for detail, and the insightful treatment of feeling states - all this makes for a work of real stature. Simply beyond zestas and top drawers and strewths.

[lunar glide]

Thank you Grant! I would have never imagined myself in such company.

I can't even say why exactly - something to do with the rhythm I'm sure - but I love it! It rambles and reaches my heart because of the journey taken. Simple lovely lunar glide.

[lunar glide]

Thank you! Im glad the rambling said something 😀

that ending, though =)

[lunar glide]

Thank you!

lunarglide, that you would use one of my favourite words (happenstance) in a poem does not surprise me in the least!

[Tanner]

lg, when you "ramble" you do what Neruda does, you collate the disparate -

And I, infinitesimal being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.

Thank you Tanner! You continue to write of my favorite things as well. Moon stones tides sea one consciousness is all consciousness . My intent is not necessarily to link but to address interaction. To destroy imposed notions of love that ask us to bite and take our teeth. (I'll never forget your oafish stones!)

in love with this poem lunar glide

After many reads this at the moment is my favorite: without presupposition
beethoven could take my little fingers
to coparticipate with the moon
running across the piano
rising without feeling itself

Thank you Suzzen. Glad you visited 😁
