The Distance to Calm

Your eyes, in mirror symbolize; a covenant of blue
For certain, sink the depths of lunacy, sipped as wine
In the quiet hours before dawn, where I leave myself
A bouquet at your door, Lilly and autumn rain
My heart has soared the skies, filled with such surprise
Arched in midnight gold, your hands to mold, my dreams
Love is never only as it seems
More the waking of an ancient fire, every true desire
Pulsed upon the white of pure devotion, quantified emotion
All that is worth giving seethes its passage to the center of my soul
Your eyes, in mirror symbolize; the pale array of linen day, a heartfelt psalm
Your kisses, but the distance to calm

"More the waking of an ancient fire, every true desire"


Yes...this and much much more.
Wonderful writing.
The eyes are the most beautiful and poetic parts of a person.
