      November 2, 2017Bob BranamanLove Letter to Posco (Shiri)

      The way you Smile and jump
      And Your HAIR!
      One could get lost in the black flowing midnight
      Filled with curling stars, your hair
      Endless flowing blue-black river of lava soft as scented hummingbirds’ wings.
      Your fiery eyes like the Minean maidens
      On Greek vases
      Alive sparkling pools of mysterious Secrets.
      Yes
      I Love
      The way you walk
      And Hop and Skip
      And sometimes give
      A kung fu kick
      Of your lips I’m afraid to talk
      Lest you think I just want to kiss them
      Bright quivering enigmas
      Made of pink Carmine Flower Petals like a
      Soft changing Dawn.
      Your smile
      Like the brilliant gold sun coming out
      And your spirit (that thing within you)
      Is like a freewheeling whirlwind of beauty
      A tornado of holy energy
      Spinning unnamable and Glorious!
      Yes
      These are some small attempts
      At reasons of why “you are Loved by me.”
      My meditation book suggests we write more and more love letters
      That we sleep with them. That we write them on sheets with
      Colored markers, etc, etc.
      Well, this is the first love letter I’ve written in years and I hope
      I will write More
      We need love letters for everyone to run on and on like a beautiful brook
      Or river bubbling and singing through our lives and dreams
      Forever moving like a
      Gold
      Light
      Song.
