I would write you
a thousand lifetimes more
even if my hands splintered
from the weight
even if the stars forgot my name
I would give my breath to the page
every shadow every prayer
if it meant feeling you
stir once more beneath my skin
wild
sacred
inevitable
I would give it all
to keep feeling you
the way thirst knows rain
the way flame knows air
tender and relentless
as if there were no end
to what we are becoming
Beautiful, Jennifer. “The way thirst knows rain” 💙
Hope your weekend is treating you well.
Thank you, Michael 💙 My weekend isn’t too bad. I hope you’re well and that your weekend is treating you good.
It has gone decently so far. It’s too cold (subzero temps) to do much more than hunker down and find a distraction until it warms up, but that’s just the season. Stay warm (or cool, if that is more fitting 😊).
Yeah, I see the temps in your state (MN. right?) are way too cold for me lol I always hate saying how chilly it is here in FL because I know it’s so much colder in other places, but it’s rainy and chilly here at the moment. A nice warm day inside for us both, it seems!
Yeah, I live in MinneSNOWtah (which is currently falling BTW). Snow is just rain that happens to be a wee more solid 😂
Well, stay warm and dry and I’ll try to do the same (shoveling, doncha know).
I’d love to see some snow pictures, if you ever share any 🙂 I have family in Champlin. Stay warm the best you can!
Champlin’s in my backyard, not more than five miles or so away 🤣. Small world. Maybe I’ll share a few on the blog later when it covers up the old crusty partially melted stuff better.
wow, small world! Awesome, looking forward to it, if you do!
What a wonderful love poem
Thank you!
Nicely written piece on longing. Always on point, Jennifer!
Thank you, Noah. I hope you’re okay today.
Becoming, …ah Jennifer, … it’s an amazing and emotive write, …I’ve read it through again and again, … ‘As if there were no end‘… I love it, …💙
Ah, Penn, you’re just so lovely 💙 thank you
You write so well, my friend, … ‘tis always a pleasure to read,…💙
Awesome poem, My Dear!!! Wonderful topic and masterfully penned!
Loved these lines “if it meant feeling you
stir once more beneath my skin” The need and addiction!
And so beautifully written here, “I would give it all
to keep feeling you
the way thirst knows rain
the way flame knows air
tender and relentless”.
Bellissimo, Jennifer, Bellissimo!!!
