So Divine

©2009 Robert Burnham

(I told the one I wrote this for)

 

I still want to dance with you

Feel your breath on mine

Taste your sweet neck

So divine

Lost in your aroma

As I was so long ago

To listen to your heartbeat

That song I too well know

Memories of your fingers

Still caress my mind

And then your kiss

So divine

I honestly love you

On the radio

Your eyes above me

Where they were so long ago

To pick your fruit

To sip your wine

I remember how we danced

So divine

So divine

But gone with time

Is beautiful and soft, Robert. A delicious sip of warm honey, a gentle touch from the wings of angels, for the one who you wrote this for. Did I mention well done?
JOHN BECK Nov 7, 2009, 6:37am EST
I couldn't have said it better.
Remembered caresses, thoughts of old, still fresh within memories that don't fade. Wonderful, she's very lucky.
Yes, Cathi, very well done.

Booooo. I think luck is a poetry elusive but sweet.
Shelbia C. Nov 7, 2009, 1:51am EST

Jan S. Nov 7, 2009, 1:51am EST
This is so lovely and sensuous. Very romantic.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 1:53am EST
It's breaking my heart though Jan.
Franklin Newman Nov 7, 2009, 1:56am EST
How sad, how sweet, and how poignant.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 9, 2009, 3:25pm EST
Your comment pretty much covers the situation Franklin.
Jennifer Lee Nov 7, 2009, 2:11am EST
Absolutely beautiful and now featured in The Poet's Circle. This is my new favorite.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 2:16am EST
Thank you Jennifer, hugs!

Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 3:49am EST
I'm so happy you came by. We touched the moon didn't we? And I wanted so much to take you to the stars. That kiss on that Tucson mountain, it felt like we were on Everest instead.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 4:53pm EST
And Tucson will never be the same to me again.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 9, 2009, 3:26pm EST
You know, I miss discombobulation. And discombobulating. LOL. See, you still make me smile.
Carrie Marie P. Nov 7, 2009, 3:13am EST

lovely words
d d. Nov 7, 2009, 6:33am EST
soft, tender and sweet. thank you for sharing.
Cindy A. Nov 7, 2009, 6:52am EST
it sounds like this love will always live in your heart Robert..in part, it made you the man you are today. look back with thankfulness that it happened...the other choice is that you never met....which is better?
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 7:43am EST
Cindy if someone wanted to pay me thousands of dollars to forget I would happily decline. She's here, on this thread, as a witness, there was no finer day than that day in the mountains above Tucson. Eve of Christmas Eve 2007.

Oh, I am thankful and I'm also thankful that I'll always remember.
Cindy A. Nov 7, 2009, 7:50am EST
I saw her on the thread...you are blessed that after all you shared, that you can move on and still love each other differently..as it has to be differently Robert..she has found her love. I hope you find yours someday too.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 7:57am EST
That's the trouble with humans, we find ways to stop loving. It's sad. In this case we still share a love and we still pray for one another on a regular basis. Even with cessation of physical contact we know we got a good love.

I hope I find 'mine' too. Thanks.
Kushal Poddar Nov 7, 2009, 7:04am EST
Soft. Loveable. Hope is somewhere in this poetry. And it shows a peaceful maturity.
Brother, my brother.

Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 7:44am EST
Maturity? Egad!

Love you brudder. I'll be by your poems soon, did you forget how to make blue linkies? lol.
Kushal Poddar Nov 7, 2009, 8:10am EST
I cannot. It is not working.

birdcalls

Kushal Poddar Nov 7, 2009, 8:10am EST
see.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 8:17am EST
I noticed they stopped working if I use Firefox but when I go back to IE they work. Something's wrong in the state of Denmark... I'll cut and paste after I make my chocolate chip pancakes. Yummy.
Dawn (a kitty-kin on the wall) Nov 8, 2009, 8:59am EST
blue linkies...is that a man code for something? =D
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 9, 2009, 3:46pm EST

Blue Linky to Kushal’s Spotlights
Chris Brockman Nov 7, 2009, 9:03am EST
Wow! This is one of the best love poems I've read for some time. Cathi's "beautiful and soft" really do say it well.




Though these lines aren't contiguous, they reflect that this would make a great song lyric.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 9:08am EST
Thank you Chris this piece was definitely heart-inspired.
Sandi S. Nov 7, 2009, 9:07am EST
Touching love story... beautiful flow... this was a delight to read, Robert!
Katharyne T. Nov 7, 2009, 9:11am EST

"I honestly love you/on the radio:"


The electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
It doesn't feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it's day or night

Our eyes meet and I love her
I suspect she already knows
How those eyes see me so very very clearly
Even when they're closed

The electric lash of trees in the studio
A bite then a caress
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Drifting from the west
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo
A moon, a knot, a guess
Only one thing you ever really know
You might curse before you bless
(Steve Kilbey)
Ann M. (Site Scryer) Nov 7, 2009, 10:28am EST

Richard Thuss Nov 7, 2009, 11:08am EST
I hope this results in a reconnection with that love
Sandre M. Nov 7, 2009, 11:19am EST
Lovely, Robert, and proof that one has to be vulnerable to be loved.
Angela A. Nov 7, 2009, 12:01pm EST
Another piece of the wonderful moments of life you share.
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting

Erica Hidvegi Nov 7, 2009, 1:50pm EST
incredible piece on hope . . .
Angie O. Nov 7, 2009, 2:08pm EST
A love that special is never truly gone, even after other doors are opened, the loving thoughts remain. Beautiful sentiment.
Kris P. Nov 7, 2009, 4:17pm EST
Beautifully put Robert, very lovely, tender words. She must have been very special.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 4:52pm EST
She was. She still is. She's just not mine any more.
Richard Lynn Livesay Nov 7, 2009, 6:19pm EST
Picture and poem a testiment to our continued search for the perfect love.
Georgiana S. Nov 7, 2009, 7:04pm EST
the dance ends, but the band plays on...
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 7, 2009, 7:47pm EST
That's because there are aways more dancers....
Susan Roberts Nov 7, 2009, 11:48pm EST
beautiful, as usual
Kat Ballew Nov 8, 2009, 12:30pm EST
Wow to be loved like that! Absolutely beautiful!
Rory M. Nov 8, 2009, 6:19pm EST
I have found, in my own experience, that great poetry emerges usually from pain, suffering, doubt or angst. You have demonstrated that here.
Dianna Doles-Petry Nov 8, 2009, 9:47pm EST
Very, very beautiful and you were both very lucky to have that moment in time. You shared it perfectly in your poem. Very well done.
Kelly Kay Nov 8, 2009, 10:39pm EST
Soft and melodic, I like this side of you.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 8, 2009, 11:02pm EST

That made me cry this morning.........
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 9, 2009, 3:23pm EST
Thanks for coming by Shelly. Made me cry too. And maybe 'her' too. Who can explain why things go the way they go.

Pretty pic btw.
shelly R Nov 9, 2009, 3:51pm EST
Why thank you so much. I've given up trying to figure out "why" and trying very hard to just focus on moving forward. Hope you can do the same. Wishing you the best...
EDWINA (MISSIE) B. Nov 9, 2009, 6:50pm EST
very nice
Richard B. Nov 10, 2009, 11:53am EST
very good, thanks for the picture and writting this.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Nov 10, 2009, 12:26pm EST
So sad yet still in love
Nancy Silveria Nov 12, 2009, 7:55pm EST
The incandescent beauty of memory, at your hand, is a gingered kiss from time to your heart; may you never forget the warm satin of her, or the gentle silk of yourself in her presence. hugs always to you.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Nov 12, 2009, 8:02pm EST
Lady, with that comment, you just had me FEELING her womanhood all over again. Even your comments outshines most people's best writing. Gee.
Nancy Silveria Nov 12, 2009, 8:13pm EST
You are so sweet. shucks
Chas Andrews Nov 23, 2009, 5:47pm EST
