One arm under her neck and back over her
the
other under her arm
so
cheek can rest on palm,
(she’s
palmable)
soft
kisses on the other cheek
and
the nocturnal chanting
of
all known sweet-nothings
that
are everything and more;
she
turns by habit,
lays
head on chest
and
claims in her unconscious
the
conscious right: ‘you are mine’,
and
turns back for preferred comforts
in
the happy concession: ‘I am yours’.
Wow- such a sensuous poem....'She's palmable'- what does this indicate? That she's petite?
ReplyDeleteSo sensational.....Yes there is one querry- why isn't 'I' mentioned anywhere? "I kiss her" , "She lays head on MY chest?"
Malinda,
ReplyDeleteI think 'Night Love' is somewhat an unusual work of yours- quite different to the rest of the verse. I feel this is quite a straightforward exploration of quite an every day occurence and the verse is free of your usual riddles! Yet it's charming.
Can you explain "turns back for preferred comforts"?
ReplyDeleteShe likes being cuddled. 'She' will be 9 two weeks from now. :)
ReplyDelete:D :D We people have dirty minds.so always misread anything. Lovely Poem Malinda :)
Deletethat was very naughty, Malinda. you set this up- you know you did!
ReplyDeleteNo, but the thought did cross my mind that people might misread. The sentiments expressed are honest and the description is true.
ReplyDeleteI know they are.
ReplyDeleteOne arm under her neck and back over her
ReplyDeletethe other under her arm
so cheek can rest on palm,- YOU LOST ME THERE!
The title Night Love and the "nocturnal chanting
ReplyDeleteof all known sweet-nothings" being the description of your little girl is beyond wildest imagination!!!! So another riddle again????
Now u see:D

But mine hasn't been such a dirty mind after all... (If u get what I mean" Seriously people don't know how to have sex:P:P
