eve

soft petals part,
brushing my cheek
such delicate caress,
filling my senses
with your
heady perfume
and we...

lay in
fields of
green grass, revolving
around the sun,
erupting in
butterflies dancing
on a breeze...

be my Spring,
lend me your
warmth on a
chilly January
eve.

sexuality or spirituality?
both seeking to know and be known,
intimately.

Namaste

Prayer Girl said...

I surely had that last question all mixed up for a long time. Today I know spirituality is in 'everything'.

Loved this.

TechnoBabe said...

Ah, intimacy personified. Lovely.

Bonnie, Original Art Studio said...

You do not have to either/or that question....perhaps it is both/and.... Forget the perhaps.

the b in subtle said...

this is beautiful. sex can be just about sex, but when a spiritual connection is involved, it becomes the best it can be. and really what 'making' LOVE is all about. i'm kinda giggling though, as i look over at your twitter post from a moment ago, "now to go home and play". uh huh. ;) well, now we know what that means...

Brian Miller said...

b...lol. um, yeah. did not think that twitter comment through...lol.

bonnie...ah, too true

techno...what is intimacy if not personified...smiles.

prayer...i wonder if we all havent...

kim...definitely keeps you warm. smiles.

I think that this could be a nirvana song! I had some cool music going through my head as I read this!

Yaya said...

Spiritual! Love it!

Cabo said...

I love it when you write about me.

blueviolet said...

I like the thought of the two intermingling.

KJ said...

See you lost me in the heady perfume...I am too sensitive to smells. No perfume for me. (A good body wash and natural oils is all it takes...hmmm are we still talking perfume?) HA!

Alix said...

Be my Spring.

What a lucky lucky wife you have.

Jen of A2eatwrite said...

I especially love the ending. Very true... on so many different levels!

willow said...

Just be careful not to roll in any poison ivy. The monster look kills the moment. ;^)

mama-face said...

Our sexuality and spirituality are interconnected more than we admit sometimes. At least that's how I see it.

PropellerHeadMom said...

Beautiful! I cannot wait for Spring to arrive.

rxBambi said...

well written! I totally agree with Bonnie tho, I think it can be both. Especially the way you write ;)

Garnetrose said...

Wonderful Poem. I read it and kept thinking of being in a field outside, watching the clouds go by as I picked flowers like I often do in the summer.

It is a wonderful sentiment though. I do agree that it can be sexual, spiritual, or both.

Everything is spiritual. Wonderful piece.

Eternally Distracted said...

I want to lay in a field of green grass...all we get here is sand in all the special places ;0)

Kathleen said...

Rumi comes to mind . . .

Protege said...

Valerie said...

Oooh I'm a day late... I hope romance is still in the air. Fantastic writing and expression, Brian.

Alan Burnett said...

As always Brian, you use words so well.

secret agent woman said...

Oh, that's beautiful.

JStar said...

Love warms the heart and soul not matter the temps outside :) Perfect for the season...

Daniel said...

Intimate, warm, cozy, cuddling. Love personified. Ahhh.

schererart said...

Oh my, I love this one!

the walking man said...

Very nicely textured Brian.

Deb said...

I agree with many of the other comments - the best sex has spirituality entangled within. Your words are powerful. And I am so glad that there are a few romantics left in this world!

JennyMac said...

be my spring...

loved this piece but that is my favorite line.

Shadow said...

compelling to the senses, this is stunning!!!!!

Jessie said...

so tender, so vivid -- warm and beautiful! that's one lucky woman you've got!

i hope your little one is doing better and the ER is a distant memmory.

Happy New Year Brian!

warm smiles,

buffalodick said...

Reminded me of something out of "Song of Solomon"...

Maggie said...

Very lovely!! It would be nice to just close my eyes and have that be read to me. I can totally picture it and feel the sensation of it.

Goofball said...

soft fresh petals, green gras and butterflies seem so distant in this snowy winter

but I can sure find some ways to be warm on a chilly January eve. I think it's time for me now to go home and play :-)

Meeko Fabulous said...

As always, your words paint a picture. I think we are all bonded at a spiritual level somehow.

Lorraine said...

warms the soul...and that's good enough for me :)

Baino said...

Wouldn't want to lie in green fields around here! You'd be taken away by ants or bitten by something!

ModernMom said...

Both! :)

Anya said...

Wonderful lines written :-)
You are very good ...

VE said...

Nice! Just don't lay in the green fields too long...they usually over water them and you'll get wet...

Mighty M said...

It's beautiful but I would get awfully itchy laying in all that grass! Happy New Year!! :)

Ronda Laveen said...

I thought you were buried in snow?

G-Man said...

Both are a gift...Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by every day with words of support. You are a great blogger friend...Galen

The Retired One said...

isn't the definition of spirituality regarding something heavenly?
So it is both, definitely.
Thanks for those warm thoughts on this cold January day.

Joanna Jenkins said...

vividly.

Candie Bracci said...

Wonderful one!Wonderful!And I love both :)

Poetikat said...

Ooh! This is SO good!

Corrie Howe said...

I agree. I often listen to everyday love songs and think, "This could very well be speaking of the love between an Almighty and a human.

jingle said...
