Soothing of the Soothsayer
Happy Sunday, guys! Since today is usually a pretty quiet day on Steemit, I woke up, had three cups of coffee, and decided to write out a poem for you all. Some nice, easy reading for your lazy day. I figured this one was good enough for the blockchain. (But that may be the massive amounts of caffiene talking.)
I hope you have an awesome one! Enjoy!
when I hear your breath
tumbling
And hitching
like the words
of E.E. Cummings
fractured
but carry so much weight
It moves me
to sway
Sometimes it is erotic
other times
in fear for you
and what you suffer(ed)
What you see in futures
being spun
A blanket wove in doubt
I see myself
near you
Extending a gentle hand
In whatever way
calms your drumming heart
rapid hammering
to
timid patters
the color of your skin
from strawberries to milk
as you slow
under my whispers
turning to raspberries
against my tongue
a soothing
melody of words
to steady you
transitioned
into fervent
lips
to drain your quiet frenzy
Stern
discerning eyes
going soft
in presence of my care
wrapping you
in ribbons
of arms and fingers
Holding you steady
when the floor
dips beneath you
and gives way
in
existential
fear
angst
hollow
but so full
of your pain
or when you go rigid
when I exercise
your demons
through your flesh
Contrast
antithesis
in blacks and whites
and very little grey.

Absolutely delicious poetry. a. I don't think it was just the coffee. There is so much good in this poetry common but here is one of my favorite parts.
"Delicious"! Wow! Thank you so much, Rose! <3
I was actually really unsure of that part but I am so thrilled that someone actually enjoyed that part in particular!
Yes, I did, and you are welcome.

Sometimes it's hard to see the grey for all the hard lines we drew when we weren't aware we were even making marks.
This... was beautiful. As always, you are a wordsmith without even trying.
The flowers got me. So beautiful!
Nice poem sticky
But why 3cups of coffee?
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked it!
I do sometimes but very rarely. It tends to make me a useless, paranoid bump on a log in a lot of cases.
I don't drink coffee that often, either. Thus why someone may need to fetch a spatula and pry me down off of the ceiling at some point today. :D
You are welcome you are sweetheart
You should make poems more often
And post more often
Don't worry if is not a daily coffee thing you are fine 😆
Thank you so much! Such a nice bonus this evening.
