i call my lovers and fears
to the table
by their proper names
i make them swim
for their supper
as i sing Summertime
in a dead ringer Ella Fitzgerald
underwater, undercover
life does flow without a struggle
and the right words cliff dive
off the tip of my tongue
but as in dreams, oh this loveliness
never meets the air
and what does is never fully understood

smiles...not quite reality eh?
Not everyday :) Thanks Brian, for always stopping by. No matter the weather.
it happens to the best
you are in good company
and I understood it all
thank you Suz. No, I am never lonely at being alone :)
I really like (b/c I know that feeling):
the right words cliff dive
off the tip of my tongue
"i call my lovers and fears to the table by their proper names"
I love this line. So often we sugar coat the true names of lovers and fears. Honesty just feels good.
So many awesome lines in this Rene!!! You have such an amazing talent!
Isn't it great when that happens?
Thanks Laurie!
So does courage, my love :)
Thanks Crystal
Thank you so much, Carrie

Great write, Rene ... we must all sound like divas under water, don't you think?
Mysterious and seductive.
A great mysterious feel indeed. the last stanza really stood out, but liked the notion of underwater undercover too, great verse
Such fun...like blowing bubbles through your nose!
