Far Away Together

These windblown caves
Where I scurry hope as winter food
A home for my heart

Truss and timber sticks
Diagonal tongues that groove tight
Warmed by a good fire

If not for mid February, I could sleep
Until the sound of cool water stirred me

A good book of exotic techniques
For sledding on satin sheets
That curls my mouth in permanent moon

Throwing snowballs by the spoonful
At the mirror of your smile
I could stay, far away, forever

If not for the loud voice of silence, I could be
Tempted by the tundra, smug a mug of steaming tea

Calling angels to the earth, to watch their wings
Making candles as the darkness lightens many things
I could stay, just this way, forever
I could stay, far away, together

Oh Rara....this is so lovely!!!
You have a real poetic technique....quite different somehow... yet enthralling.
Congratulations!
Do write more

It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

this gave me chills...why?  Becuase it is so unique, seductive in an upper-echelon sort of way...magnificantly painting touches of the mystic...

operating outside of the parameters of logic, that old black magic called love...

Excellent
