Timelessness

Even when the elements split the earth in me
and fling my crumblings into the scattered emptiness
of worlds ground to crushed chaos and smashed collision,
your Love will be my beacon thru the rubble
blinking in the nothingness,
dodging past the brokenness
and guiding me 'til end of Time.

And when Night caves in from stars sucked out
by Age leaving days and shattered suns
slipping down Eternity at a million midnights per second,
your Love will be my flame in the black wind
blistering in the coldness,
emblazing me with boldness
and fusing me to your Love divine.

And when I measure my Life,
not by the number of breaths I take
but by your moments which take my breaths away
and not by the number of aches I’ve caged in heartbreaks
but by your conquest of my plundered ones set free.
Breathless may be the light of all precious stones
but only your Love shines the polished gem of me.

For I’m stained glass lost at night
with a longing waiting mindless
in a trembling fingered blindness
for that moment rendered timeless
when your Love dawns the darkness
and I bathe in shafts of Light.

A haunting, masterfully written poem of one hundred percent devotion. You have a graceful style, but your phrases and word choices give even the gracefulness a boost to the fortunate reader. This is one hell of a poem, and my choice quote is . . .

swampguy – My heart has been devotedly enraptured with another heart for a long time and our rhythm is ceaseless. I hope that when our bodies fall apart and crumble, the Love would transcend time and space until it reaches Infinity and still have enough momentum to vibrate one more step beyond. So with glee, I gave birth to this created work. It came out easily in one bold stroke and I didn’t even have to have a Caesarian this time. Whew! Poets! Thanks so much for your wonderful words of enjoyment swampguy. For me, they’ll be ‘timeless’ and a boost for this fortunate poet today. Namyh
