Dare This Angst

wow S! quite a warm recollection indeed. beautifully rearranged with memorable depth.

It's rather interesting that you used "rearranged" in your comment.  And not "arranged".  Because this is actually two different things that I wrote, but I mashed them together into one.  With a great deal of rearranging involved.  
Thanks for the wow , btw.  This one took work!  

This entire beguiling musing remind me of a message inscribed on a sacred scroll, placed in a bottle, and set out to sea, hoping the intender heart, will uncork and read it, your words have a timeless appeal, of a time that once was... very nicely composed, my poet

Like I mentioned in the above comment, this is two writes put together.  One older and one new.  So I suppose timeless does apply!
I like your vision of this. The scroll in the bottle.  

We did that once as kids, via Sunday School at church!  About 25 of us. Wrote messages and tossed them out into the ocean (the church logo on the paper,free advertising).
Talk about polluting the ocean in the name of God!  
That was a long time ago, obviously.  
The internet accomplishes it much more efficiently.  Lol.

Your take on it is much more poetic and rewarding!  Thank you!

In the scoop of that beautiful explanation, intellectual minds sure have a way of thinking alike or within the boundaries of the presented gist

And you are humbly welcome, my poet, always, enjoy your weekend as well

Now I’m oh so curious! Did tomorrow happen? Was it the only once?  I love how you tangle words into surprising parts of speech! Another great write.

You know how I know that I'm a dork?  
All this time, when I see your name , I read it in my mind as Ruby-"RedHeart".   Yet it just dawned on me that it is more likely "Ruby Red" Heart.  See, the infamous tangle of words! Lol.   It's still early, I will catch up mentally one day.  

As for my write, I dunno!   Reality and creativity are close cousins maybe, because we always use that same brain and can only see out of the same pair of eyes.  
I write down some of the swirls in my head, when they settle down enough.  
It just makes room for more swirls. Dammit.

😂 your honesty in how you read my avatar name made me chuckle. Yes, it’s intended as the latter.  Totally understand about poetry merging reality & imagination/creativity. I enjoy reading the great variety of it here on DUP ☺️

Dear S,

Now that’s love, lust, excitement, anticipation, bashfulness, boldness and everything else in between enclosed in this write. I think this was so endearing it was difficult not to smile in support of the characters as well as that first blush of love we can all remember having at some point. Absolutely wonderful write. H🌷

When I decide to write stuff down, the ideas are always "huge", and yet the results are more humble and delicate.  I most always write them in one continuous flow, once that floodgate is opened.  It's easy for me.  Yet then, I read what I wrote and then decide if it's what I wanted.  Lol.   Most times, it's roughly close enough.  

Thank you for your fulfilling take on it.  It almost was an entirely different painting....
I wanted more beachy-scene, at first.

Wow! I really enjoyed this! More!!

Thanks you!
And likewise, dear poet, on the "more" push.  
I think it was one of yours, saying something about being older, with a slightly downtrodden aspect about it.  Yet, "older" is getting to wear the purple robe of time's royalty.   It's a privilege to get so far, not a curse.  Revel in the experiences.  Right?

Good morning Elenore!  

The purple robe of time's royalty, wow, I like that. I like the way you put that. I need to remember it is a privilege.
Thank you Styxian!

Well damn! Where to start... Here's my key damnit. It definitely opens the night, all the darkness and tons of passion too. I saved that calendar page too. I thought you forgot. You know the key to my heart is under the flower pot. The one with the dead flowers in it. Sorry I don't have a green thumb but my hands are better for so much more. Like ripping pages out of the calendar. No not really that, other things... You know those one's you dreamed about. My mouth can etch so many thoughts, but much more so feelings - intense feelings. The eagerness of the body is the conversation I need. So just try to stay quiet, the clever conversation will come. Yes it will definitely come. Only wearing a coat, well that tells you something doesn't it. :p And I wrote about the flower pot before I read that part. lol I don't care if they gasp, you be will gasping all night long. I loved the anticipation, the excitement, the lust, and everything else. Really felt it. ;)

Gracious!    
You know if you keep rewarding me with such comments, I feel like I have to pay you back somehow.  I'm a pretty good cook, mechanic, electrician, plumber, painter, "physical therapist", and a few other pretty goods.  I'm also modest as hell.  Lol.

So, pick.  Lol.  

You owe me buddy. I love it when people owe me, but I hate owing people. lol Let's see, cook - I can do that, mechanic - I can get somebody to do that * bats eyes *, electrician - youtube, plumber - youtube, Physical therapist, oh yeah! definitely that one. I need LOTS of physical therapy... You better be ready to work it though. Because you are going to need physical therapy after. Just saying... Well what's the others then? How do you expect me to pick if I don't have all the information. :p I am sure physical therapy wins anyway.

Fine, just maybe I WILL need physical therapy afterwards.  I get free medical care, so it's cool.  But admittedly, I am a little nervous.  

But!  Then I remember who I am and what I'm capable of.  Have your chiropractor on speed dial.  
I'd paint your toe nails for ya though.  While you recover.  Dark red.
