Next to you, the ice melts.
I get caught in your rain and find
I'm soluble, soul saturated,
lightsome for a moment.
A little truth to touch your skin,
then more, trust enough your life is mine
and mine is yours. Hearts interlaced,
an we are an infinite beat or so it seems.
It's not, it's been ephemeral all along.
I leave the womb-like happiness
running down your leg. Now confused,
it's winter again and I freeze.

greenmountaineerabout 12 years agoI really liked this. There's a nuance to this seemingly simple poem that pointed me in a direction to think about more complicated stuff. I realIy like that in any poem. I also agree with Tzara on both points: It's more than "la, la, la.." and it does seem like an opportunity missed for 2 more provocative syllables.
Tzaraabout 12 years agoIt gives the poem a sense of uneasiness or complexity that makes it more interesting than the usual "la la la I'm in love" or "we're once again having ecstatically vigorous sex" poem that is more common. "[L]ightsome" seemed awkward to me, but just an opinion.
Good poem.
