x-y-z: all three axes

Once I started, it wrote itself. I did it without any pause, let alone editing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

angelically moving

like a belly dancer

who convolutes to a tune

she draped herself into him

her ethereal presence

formulated certain

gentle feelings

in that stone heart

inching towards his soul

he jack-knifed

knocking her

lovely form aside

as soon moribund

naked emotions

took over

progressing

quantifying

regressing

into sadness

like a heavy tomb

of umbrella.

a vellum fell from sky

walls demolished

x-axis of their love

intersected at y and z-axis.

"Love has to be three dimensional or may be four"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  7. Love your alphabetic organization! So linear. Nice contrast to the 3 or 4 dimensions of love that you end with.

  9. Outside of a couple of lines that didn't work for me, I really liked this poem. And I love it when they write themself. That tells me they were just waiting for somebody to "listen" for them.
