For all the different loves there are
I find this one to be by far
The one that keeps me up at night
The one that brings us most delight.

It calls to me each time to climb
The tree of passion fruit divine.
Although I sometimes fail to see
The bending grass that waits for me.

And yes I sometimes fall from grace
And land upon a softer place.
These things they seem to come and go
Like antlers on a dear old foe.

I wish our love could always find
Aphrodite and her shrine
Upon the ocean’s frothy shore
So I could dive and fall no more.

And then our nights would last til dawn
As we would roll upon the shore
With taut skin scratched until it bled
And arched back crying to be fed.

With water glistening on your breasts
Hair laced seashells wildly dressed
Bruised lips laid upon my skin
And birds screaming just where we’ve been.

I would grasp your waist below
And lift you up so you would know
My masterful (Dear God) embrace
And never want to leave this place!

Until this happens close your eyes
Remember when our youth belied
The constant setting of the sun
Days to years that soon would run.

For in my heart the blood flows warm
And sometimes wishes it were young.
But in my mind the sand breathes fire
Embracing you with deep desire.

I wish that I could show you more
But know it’s you that I adore
And help me find the script I laid
Between the words of this brief page.

So then we’ll see just what is what
And who is hot and just how much
Eager to visit warmer clime
And merge both blood and open mind.

I hope you’re ready as they say
To see the dragon slayed today.
Make sure the mirrors have been cleaned
So we may view the fateful deed.

Whatever happens most of all
Let me make you laugh somehow.
Your clown prince cometh soon to town
And all do hope he won’t fall down.

And when at last we rest at night
Upon a silent sheet of light
Listening to the dogs next door
Remember I do you adore.
And know tis you that I adore.

Now might be a good time to mention that the voices speaking in each of my poems are not necessarily me! Parts of them might be me or all or none.

Because this poetry as a whole is not about me! Hopefully it will be more entertaining than it possibly could if that were the case. I am trying to write about our human condition and the strong emotions that are a part of it. Love seems to be an easy one for me to write about but maybe at some point I will try some others. But not really dark ones. I won’t be writing about hate anytime soon. Fear maybe. Oh wait. I already did that in the poem about the tiger. Confusion? Is that an emotion? Embarrassment? That’s a possibility.

We will see. Thank you for all the encouragement I have received for poems already done. They really are the soul of this blog and the main source of its traffic as well.

Maybe we will see you at the beach sometime!

More poetry from Davidlind

Sailing Away

* * *

Last night we gathered on a ship

Our tribe and all our friends,

And sailed for distant galaxies

To find a peaceful land.

The stars received us as we went

Our lives passed through their gaze

We sailed between bright fire and light

Our eyes were all ablaze.

The evening has left us

Quietly to ourselves.

I watch you move before the mirror

Releasing all the catches and stays

The predictable moments and habitual ways.

Until the softness of the light reveals

Your moving presence and my cautious appeal.

Can I catch the light that glitters in your eyes

And hold you in my arms?

A prayer weaves its way above

As we explore

The promises of love.

How is it possible

We are here today?

I can remember being alone

Before you came

And opened up my world.

And now the wind is all around my heart

And sand enfolds your lovely feet.

I am beyond caring for past or future moments.

We are here.

Flying with so many eyes

And wings upon the current.

They will find our shoes.

And echoes of our cries upon the wind.

Children running on the beach

And days we cannot number.

One year old you are today

And moving forward on your climb

To three and six and ten years old

Days that seem so far away

But will be here without delay.

Still there will never be a time

When innocence is more sublime

And you face brighter with love.

As you wonder

Why strangers adore you

And where do they go

When they walk out the door

And fall off the edge of the world.

There is a lot of discussion about links and finding relevant and quality links to advance page rank. So I am going to try to do it the right way and see how things go. If you received a link to this page it means that I have taken a close look at your blog and like it a lot.

In my humble opinion we have similar blogs and they both contain quality posts. Maybe you agree. Maybe you don’t. But I hope you will look at this blog and consider the possibility that we do.

Depending on when you read this post I may have found none, one, ten or more blogs that fit the bill. So whatever the number is they will be linked up with this blog and they can be linked up with your blog too if both sides agree.

If things are just starting when you read this I can offer you two PR 4 links .

This is my main blog and it’s called Virginia Breeze (PR4) htp://davidnotes.com. It contains writing about our lives in Virginia, quality photos, poetry and writing about other things including shows like American Idol and The Tudors. We watch a lot of movies prior to the Academy Awards and I also write about them. This blog was started in the summer of 2007 and I am pretty dedicated to its growth in the coming years.

I also have a photoblog called PhotoLink Love (PR4) and will be looking for other photoblogs to link to it. http://photolinklove.com

I have a humor blog called NewsLink Briefs (PR3) that was started in late February and I will be looking for great humor blogs to link to it. http://newslinkbriefs.com

I use Wordtracker and try to come up with good keywords. It seems to be working well but I can always do better. And higher PR is a step in that direction as we all know.

So if I have contacted you let me know how you feel about this. And good luck with your blogging efforts. I enjoyed my visit to your blog.

And if you just happened by here and are reading this let me ask you a question. How many times have you discovered a blog that had relevant and quality content and NOT asked the author to exchange links?

If you are like me it has happened quite a bit. Why is that? I had the feeling for a while that my blogroll should be for close blogging friends so we could support each other. So it was an emotional decision instead of a logical and mathematical (statistical) decision.

And I also linked to a few blogs that were “way up there” and had no interest in returning the favor.

I hope you will let me know if we have similar quality content. We can move this thing forward and the next time a keyword goes up to Google it will land on page one and stay there awhile instead of going to page five where nobody will see it.

And lots more folks will read you posts and mine.

Update (two weeks later)

So it has been a couple of weeks since I did this page. And it has been a very good time blogging-wise. The blogroll has increased in size and the additions are very cool blogs. They fit here in terms of quality and relevance.
