It was through the gate
Of ceaseless venture
Where we first met

On that fate and timeless night

You,
from your land of dawning
where saints of roses nestle
betwixt the harborage of bays mist
and unheard grapevines,

that meet the sea

Let us engage
among the winds
of ‘morrows kiss
where thickets of conceivings
wallow through
sweet dreams of everlast

Come with me my dear
and flame my wick
of candles night
you, my lost wind
of deathless eyes,

You,
my muse of heavens
creaking gate

Share with me our
bite of hope
As I slowly
lick the wounds
of your past
and heal
of always

Your days to be

Spread your light
upon
river’s mouth
and hold
firm veins
within your
open and
shadowed glory

Satiate
your rich longing
as I criss cross
gushing landscapes

Burrowing
into those secret
sounds
and untying
the skintight knot
of solitude

You are the song
and plants and waves,
of shouts and foam

And broken statues
of burnt water

And yet,
if
you still
can not
see between the
fondness
that you hold

so entirely

Listen to the voice
inside

Your heart
will somehow,
let you know

And so
Please
Don’t read
into my words
Or pages filled

of light

Anything
Except for you,

The love
I have,


this night

This was an unequaled love poem.  Your line structure as always was beautiful.  The way you packed the imagery of nature made for a vivid read.  Thanks

Rich, I read a great deal into your creative writes.
To me they are filled with sensuality and innuendo ~ both metaphorically and literally!

You are a master weaver!

In the still of the night...

Hi Richy~

Newbie here. Looked towards the bottom of the page to choose my first read and found you!

Interesting word choices made me pay close attention.

Bordering on erotic.
Seducing read, Richy.
