led

unwilling to define
this giddiness that leads me,
stumbling
like a woman drunk on air
or sunlight

instead of labeling
& analyzing
I would rather
be simply piloted
by it

& dance
with the line
that reels me,
in whatever direction
I am spun with it,
knowing you are
what turns me

& also certain
when I dream tonight in colors
it will be of you

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

  1. Lovely. I especially like “when I dream tonight in colors it will be of you”. It reminded of the Yevtevsheno poem Colours: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colours-6/ – the idea of a loved one bringing colour to life or dreams is beautiful.

  2. This is beautiful, Susan. Dream in colors sings so loud and soft at the same time.

    I love the use of ‘colour’ in reference to relationship dynamics. Howie Day sings of it in Perfect Time of Day ‘let your colours collide…’ I so wish I wrote that one! Well done.

    Quite beautiful, Susan. And dare I say, willfully romantic. Good on you.
