Lip-Lock
You and I
We—
Intertwined
In a knot
Bound in a
Web
Of our own
Invention
The spider
Spins—
Instinctive
Purposeful
Our random
Acts—
Fraying but
Still raveled
Still we weave
Our
History
In coarse twine
In your kiss—
Limbs
Intertwined—
I'm undone
Yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me smile, Tess.
DeleteThat's the best kind of intertwining.
ReplyDeleteAlex, thanks. It was fun to think of what may have been before the kiss.
DeleteLOVE IT! I agree with Tess.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to say. Thank you, Robyn!
DeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan!
DeleteHi Theresa,
ReplyDeleteI especially like the last line, "I'm undone," because it made me think about how love is beyond anyone's control and it really can "undo" people (and I mean that in a good way, of course).
Neurotic Workaholic, thanks for your input. That's what I was going for!
DeleteOoh, I like this, especially how you used the dashes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheri. Was trying for a rope/bind feel. :)
DeleteWonderful poem and great black and white pic to go with it.
ReplyDeleteMedeia, thanks! I've always loved the picture.
DeleteWaiting for the next move, and over to you! If only it can be that mechanical! Wonderful lines Theresa!
ReplyDeleteHank
Hank, I was trying to get a feeling of tying a knot.
DeleteI enjoyed the weaving imagery of a kiss and by extension love ... Like the double helix spiral dance of tingling dna ...thanks
ReplyDeleteKutamun, I like the idea of a double-helix. Your comment is poetic!
DeleteI'm undone by your wonderful write!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Bekkie!
DeleteHi Theresa - you've certainly caught the feel of the title ... and in the black and white days ... life would be like that .. the stolen kiss, the probing of limbs and feel of body .. less is more ... then becoming 'undone' .. yes that can happen ..
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Hilary, I'm glad I got the "black and white days" captured somewhat. Thanks!
DeleteYeah, for sure, all of this above can produce the desire of more...'undone' :) ~ Thanks for stopping by x
ReplyDeleteHumbird, thanks for stopping by too!
DeleteTheresa,
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice to run into you again. I love your opening lines here and the ending...sigh, to come undone like that.
Yvonne, it's been a long time since I've been in a new relationship like that. :)
DeleteLovely, Theresa. I especially like the last line.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynda. I actually changed the last line at the last second--for the better!
DeleteSwoon-worthy!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Kelly!
DeleteAs always, I love your poetry, Theresa. We go from the knot to being undone. Beautiful! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Victoria! Happy holidays to you and your family as well.
DeleteWow, Theresa! That's great! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn!
