Heartbeats
I find myself coming back to you as if I’ve forgotten something – something tucked in the folds of your soul that I can’t quite remember I’ve lost, but is there – haunting, calling, like a dream on the edge of my memory, just beyond the warm blackness of dawn, slipping so quickly beyond my grasp, and knowing that I too slip quickly into wakeness and deeper into hope, desire, fervor, and, dare I say, love, as though it’s not what I already know, but what I feel about you as you stand there, unknowing, open, guards down, unaware of the quake you leave in your wake, the hollow as your voice fades, something I cannot reach – cannot recall – yet stand on the precipice yelling out into the darkness all the while hoping that what returns to me through the enveloping deep is not my own reflection, but a resonant warmth, alive and well, welcoming and in love – a sign that I am not alone, and that perhaps I am here, we are here, together.

I do love beer...works better when it is bitter, like the bitter taste the lies leave in your gut. One for all occasions Cathy. BEER.
I'll take a kombucha. (Never learned to like either wine or beer, lol.)
Very punchy! Great senryu!
Brought me a smile!
Made chuckle. Never got champagne either!🤍
No getting anything past you!
Beer over bubbles every time. Made me laugh!
Brillant!!
I don't drink. I've never even tried. I'll stick to coffee, thanks. Hehehe. Loved your Senryu!
Nicely done!
I've always hated beer 😅 but yet I'll still drink it sometimes 😂😅 Love your poem! ♥
Bourbon and Coke or on the Rocks, CC and ginger, and a few other whiskeys. Wine or champagne, no way.
Well said! 🍺
Oh yeah. I’m with you on that. Beer is always gonna beat out something weird and bubbly!
Loved the punch of every word. And I've had Dom before...I didn't like it. Way too dry...hahahaha
hahahah - yeah! I’ll take a margarita with El Jimador 🤣
