The beginning is sweet
Like the first taste of strawberry sherbet
On a hot summer day
You can’t get enough
You want more to savor the palate
The beginning is a battlefield of rain and sun
Unpredictable
He turns it into a merry-go-round with his tongue
You contemplate the possibility
Of opening your heart without bleeding
Wondering if he will be the first Knight
To rescue you out of Brooklyn with his
Mighty sword

this is such a nice piece of work... i admit i am partial to shorter poem - attention span issue. ;) love the "turns it into a merry-go-round with his tongue".
That Merry-go-round got me going too! The first piece is nice. I read them together as one and then went back and separated them. Nice either way! Very Lyrical you are Miss Thang!
Where in the Hell did you come up with this line? "He turns it into a merry-go-round with his tongue," can I put it on a t-shirt!
"...He turns it into a merry-go-round with his tongue..."
mmmmmmmm...does this merry go round go up and down or just round and round...? ;-O
Hmmm The mighty sword! Is it long? but its mighty so it doesn't matter!
The videos on this blog are playing havoc with my broadband. Don't know why. It was crazy trying to post a comment. Kept jumping around. Maybe I'm not the only one. Maybe it's my computer. Not sure. Anyway. Thank you Cathy. "Opening your heart without bleeding." Yes. Nice.
This is the third blog I've visited today and all have been tinged with the sensual, is this a message? I love your poem, the sword made me chuckle and yearn...
Oh, Cathy this is fabulous! I have missed visiting your blog - August and Sept. were pretty much lost months for me, due to travel, my daughter's visit and a seemingly endless round of guests. But I'll be back more frequently from now on.
Wow, awesome work. Your words flow.
Get Zapped put me on to the sword. Naïve me. I like the tone of the poem, the mood. Very something-I-can't-place-my-finger-on. Very... Cathy?
the first kiss
first touch..whispers
hugs..xxx

Hi Lyrically Yours! Really cool poem -- I love the images and feeling in this. Strawberry sherbet and "a battlefield of rain and sun" and "merry-go-round with his tongue" were so vivid and juicy. And the line "of opening your heart without bleeding" is really beautiful. I'll definitely be back here! Thank you for visiting my blog and for your really nice comments!
