Mexico Illuminating

I feel my second opening into the colors
that white silk again
the way that slips down
a slight hide from my eyes
that white silk again
the way that slips down
a slight hide from my eyes
illuminated
where my fingers explore
the pink, the tropical moist
that intoxication of soft sea life jungle
flower scent rising
a rising tide washing away
the wheels within the wheels within the wheels
turning over and over again
to face me
where all our worlds whirl into white hot stars
into the vast silent space beyond the veils
of breathing

Dougie!!!! Another brilliant masterpiece. So illuminating….with sweet fragrance on the top. I love “Mexico Illuminating” PS: Mmm…do you happen to have one on “Canada illuminating” ?? Lol. Nice try, eh? Hugs.
good lord doug! you've definitely hit something here ;-)
Wonderful Doug! :) Hugs my friend. I like your writing!
Hi Amy, Hmmm K!
I'd think the Canadian one has more cuddles cuz you gotta get warm first, it's flannels I carelessly toss on the floor, OMG almost into the candle flame! I see feet tangled in the comforter.
You need some water? Lol!
Thank you Amy!
Hugs back((()))
Oooo such fun Mary! Thank you You You/Me ;)
Hugs(((Susan))) Thank you darling, I've missed you!
please will you autograph the inside of the book cover I'm carrying (Doug's Poetry)
Hi Hummy! You bet I will!
Someone above needs to get busy working on Thundering Silence with me.
Hugs((()))
Well …as you can see I am sunshine instead of water after reading that LOL
Beautiful expressions, Doug!
J:)
We could do sunshine together K?
You be the light and I'll be the heat Lol!
TY Janie! I think I'll come over and play in your yard, looks sunny over there ;-)
Ah. I see de Cdn one now. Cozy.
Now water, please. Oh, dang, where is the damn water when I need it. Lol. You rock, Doug!
Smiling back at you Amy, you thirsty thang you! Lol!
Hope it's really warming up, up and over there in Ontario. Maybe I'll really write a poem, maybe call it Weather in Ontario?
(smiling away) “Weather in Ontario” will finally be perfect when penned by you, Doug. Lol, Mexico will be jealous…
Thundering Silence, so that's the title!
How about I bring Mexico with me when I walk in the weather in Ontario?
Bet the spring flowers would come out, even through the snow. ;-)
TY! I'm feeling the stirrings of a new poem.
Yes Hummy. I just need to figure out the publishing part. The fact that I say “just” reveals my naivety. I've invited a friend to write it with me and the ideal is to have it flow like a conversation between two people. I've started to compile the poems and paintings and arrange those with my friends poems and photographs. So I play a dual role as both poet/painter and muse/model.
I can't wait to share it. I think it will be something very special.
great idea. Doug, You are Mexico, warm and full of fun….so of course flowers will pop up everywhere at your entrance.
Smiles and hugs.
Sounds like a wonderful inspiring project, Doug - also that its a 'jamming process' (the way jazz musicians spontaneously co create - one playing a piece and another responding - I imagine birds could do something similar) with another
look forward to seeing what emerges
