You Have A Way About You

Your words are like a pin prick
they draw blood in measured ways.
They speak so wonderfully
while brightening up my days.

You have a way about you
which squeezes juices to a drip.
Each one I am privileged to see
appear to dangle off your lip.

Your passion invites excitement
stirring up merriment as you go
and no matter what the topic
you seem always in the know.

I can see your face smile
even from a distant thought
and always crave your words
for the pleasures they've brought.

I'll write of your treatment
the tests you know so well.
Those pin pricks of delight
which opens up to a swell.

Even when I am not steady
of mind or spirit's blend
I have learned to count on you
for all the comfort you send.

Don't let me down, ever
I'm needing to have your flavor.
Each pin prick you send
is but a lovely joy to savor.

Wonderful poem, Spencer!

This is an awesome poem Spencer. Thanks for sharing.

A lovely joy to savor
Is such a beautiful Thought!
For in my quiet moments
The joy becomes your flavor

Sometimes your words seem to speak
exclusively to me, I think...
But then I see, to Liz, or Judy
And I know it's all a dream

For a poet is always a poet
His words are meant to be
Given in Love and charity
For all his friends to see...

Once he wrote he would be my lover
dream lover, that is true
but only one who can dream of love
Can offer it in loving response

I love to read your words Spence
I love to think it's me to whom you write
And this is just to let you know
We all think this every time you write!!!

Love, Z'

Absolutely beautiful piece, I loved it.
Mae w. Feb 9, 2008, 1:13pm EST
Got to say this, I truly enjoy your work. Not part of any gaggle of females. Just an ole soul here who knows what she likes.
Chris E. Feb 9, 2008, 1:14pm EST
You have a great talent Spencer. Another wonderful piece of writing.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 2:49pm EST
Thank you, Cheryl.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 2:50pm EST
Michelle, I am always inspired tho some might add that natural inspiration.
Thank you.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 2:52pm EST
Ang, often I write to share but always I write for me first. Guess I selfish that way trying to express myself.
Thank you.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 2:53pm EST
Zara, you know I always want your comments on my writes. That poem makes your words special.

Thanks much.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 2:55pm EST
Hello, Sheila. Good to see you. Do come back.
Jaime R. Feb 9, 2008, 3:00pm EST
Wow! Love this! The 1st 2 lines are the best!
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 3:01pm EST
EM, glad you asked. My woman is Judy, who inspires me more than a whole room full of other women could. She is always the base of my thoughts. I also am often inspired by other people, places happenings, situations and things. I favor women greatly and have always been one who feels females are very special. I remember Judy answering an inquiry about who my muse might be. She said, " I am glad to say, "every" woman is part of his muse. He loves women and always honor them and I love him more for including "every" woman as part of his inspiration.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 3:05pm EST
You make me happy, Mae. I'm just an old soul who knows what he likes and enjoys doing it. Quite often all it takes is a word or a phrase to inspire another write. Thank you much.
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 3:06pm EST
Chris, you know that feels and sounds good to me. Thank you.
J W. Feb 9, 2008, 3:57pm EST
good poem
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Feb 9, 2008, 4:00pm EST
Ahhh, now I love Judy as much as I do you. Thanks for sharing her words with us.
Cat Givens Feb 9, 2008, 4:07pm EST
Judy is smart as well as special, Spencer.
Thanks for sharing this luscious poem. I am dripping with delight!

This is sensuous and loving.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts Spencer.
Susan N. Feb 9, 2008, 7:45pm EST
A wonderful piece of writing - you really love somebody in all senses of the word!
Spencer T. Feb 9, 2008, 8:14pm EST
Thank you, Jaime.
Tom C. Feb 9, 2008, 8:31pm EST
Spencer - Your first lines use a simile that is striking in the relish with which it is received. Not to say that it doesn't work - it does - but I wanted to point out how effectively it drew me into your intimate look at this love and relationship.

Clearly showing the myriad reasons for loving this person, and we all can't help but feel the same, but with your closeness and experience, you arrive at the point of pleading that this loving embrace never end. This is a beautiful poem of love and respect. Great job, Spencer.
Donna Besso Feb 9, 2008, 8:46pm EST
I enjoyed reading this tremendously, thank you.
Joan G. Feb 9, 2008, 8:59pm EST
I agree with Cat Givens. She put into words EXACTLY what I was thinking about writing from this poem. Thank U for being U.

Reading you is like looking at caligraphy in all of its beauty.

A muse who drives your life force besides your eloquent pen...

This is one of the most glorious tribute pieces I've ever read Spencer. And being familiar with Judy as I am, I completely understand. She's a lovely and intuitive woman and this poem speaks so well to her. Every word is perfectly chosen. Beautiful:)
Jessie B. Feb 13, 2008, 9:59am EST
Spencer this is a beautiful poem. I aspire to pen out words that inspire and float as yours do.
Cheryl B. Feb 21, 2008, 10:37pm EST
Wonderfully done Spencer.
