Forbidden for Sunday Scribblings

Only the moon
peeks
at us

climbing
the stairs
to the ski
jump

heart
beating
fasterandfaster

daring
bursting out of me
in nervous
giggles

hiding
my shaking hand
around the neck
of a Michelob
bottle

feeling
you sitting
next to me
closer,
closer.

I lose
myself
in the moon
of your eyes.

The circumstances are different, but this evokes memories of my own past. Thank you for putting a smile on my face as I remember times gone by.

This is wonderful Linda-like Robin says it brings back memories. I love the shaking hand around the neck of the Michelob bottle-that made me smile.

Kristi Tencarre said...

Beautiful! I'm smiling :-) Love that line: "lose myself in the moon of your eyes"

Nicely written, almost naughty!

Wonderful poem! I especially loved the "daring/ bursting out of me..." Seldom has a verb made me quite so happy as this one did.

Sarah at SmallWorld said...

Beautiful. I love the nebulous quality of the poem and then the very solid reality of a Michelob bottle.

I'm with Dar and Robin. Except this made me actually miss those days and maybe even yearn for them to return.

Great job- your use of suspense is especially good.

When I started reading the poem, I took it very differently, more with the outside world but the end made me to realize it is more of inside us. Just loved the way you ended the poem.

As a teacher, I think you can appreciate me saying you rock!

I really enjoy what you do, Linda. Please consider sharing an oldie, overlooked gem at Little Lovin' Monday.

Your poem brings back those days when love was new, the doubts, the insecurities, and that sense of losing a sense of identity "in the moon of your eyes." Lovely!
