Retro poetry corner

[sal_amanda]

i never used to show anyone any poetry i wrote, but as time passes and i'm distanced from the events that inspired them, i don't mind showing the old ones that i still like. here's two from when i was 17. neither really has a title.

I. from July 1993

soft,
silkiness
of your arms around
and surrounding
me with warmth
oh, the love
i feel in you
emanating from
arms i could easily fall a-
"sleep"
i heard distinctly
and instantly obeyed
how could i not
within such a comforting circle
locking in the peace
and serenity
of my slumber

II. part of something from November 1993

i love
the gentle touch of your fingers
tugging at my soul
brushing your lips across
my open wounds
healing them with the
salt of your tears

who are these about? ;o)

[sal_amanda]

i'll tell you offsite if you can't figure it out. just think about current events. ;)

[sal_amanda]

oh wait. or does the winky face mean that you already figured it out? duh. in my defense, i checked it real quick from work.

i was inspired to post the first in response to that conversation we had about arms. the second is from the same relationship and i really just love it and wanted to put it up.

i may make a series out of this. i have some very old favorites that i wouldn't mind sharing with the general public. you're probably the only one i'd tell who or what they were about, though.

[sal_amanda]

oh, and now that i think about it, there is actually a cute story that goes along with the first one and led to its creation. ask me later and i'll share it with you.

[sal_amanda]
