lust–dVerse Quadrille


lust

my thoughts stream in
and out like water—
free, cascading,
life-sustaining. I dance in droplets
(a creative thrust) such
love-making in a pool
of misty water-want

thirst for more and more
until, satiated, I paint
in words or water-color
swirling about to mix beauty.

It has been so long since I’ve posted or even written a poem. Though I’m still in a caregiver mode, I caught Dee’s Quadrille post and felt compelled to write to it. WordPress has me confused. Since it’s been such a long time, they are treating me as a new user and I couldn’t find my post to edit. It’s good to be here, to hang around with old friends and meet some new ones.

    Nice to see you, Victoria, and glad you were able to navigate through WP barriers to get your poem written, saved, and linked. I like the lust- moisture-movement aspects that work very well together in your poem.

    • Thank you, Freddie. I am so grateful just to be here again and rediscover friends like you. I won’t be posting much because I am now a caregiver to my husband who is losing his vision due to an autoimmune disease. You are special in so many ways. I will use this but will try to learn the new format. It’s good for old people like I to keep learning. Smiles.

  13. Water is the primal element. You captured its meaning beautifully. I hope you give yourself time to write. It only needs a few minutes of quiet. Takes hours though to wrangle WP sometimes!

  19. Hi, Patricia. It’s been a long, long time since I have posted as I have now become a caregiver to my husband who has had 2 back surgeries this year but, more significantly is losing his vision. I’m not writing at all though feeling the push to returned to a book of Gospel meditations I began a couple of years ago. I must check out your new blog. Tickles my writing lust.

    Victoria, I have missed you, and you have missed many episodes of BLACKTHORNE. Just seeing your name to click on made my heart skip a beat. Brian & Claudia were just here recently. Loved your quadrille. Hope you are finding an iota of joy each day.

    Lovely words deep from the heart. I can feel your emotions and struggle. I just looked you up last week, wondering what life has brought your way. I’m glad you’re still writing. I actually just popped in at dverse last week. Poetry is my first love, but now I’m drenched in fiction. Stop in on Wednesday’s for my new Christian Flash Fiction with a prompt from the Bible. I trust God is sustaining.
