BRIMSONG SOUL-MELTING
26 September 2011

You wrap me
in your castle arms,
and your wide-sky love,

and your whisper-perfect gifts
carry me on butterfly-breath,
to the edge of the forever-forest
where you softly place your beating heart
wrapped in rainbows and flowers
and your tingling smile-fingers,
in my eager hands

and I offer you mine
raw, red and unwrapped
and you entreat birds to break into song
to bless the moment,
and your eyes drown in mine
as you stroke me with your words
in the midday sun
and I can no longer tell
where your soul ends
and mine begins.

This is very lovely. "smile-fingers" ... I enjoyed that, and the delicate wordplay; its given the whole piece such a wonderful air.

Not just a feel-good poem.

Extremely moving, deep.
"and your whisper-perfect gifts
carry me on butterfly-breath,
to the edge of the forever-forest
where you softly place your beating heart
wrapped in rainbows and flowers
and your tingling smile-fingers,
in my eager hands"
This reminds me of a particular moment in my life... thanks for the reminder!

Thank you, Nicole. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, Shelerella. I am deeply happy for the joy it brought you of your Steaven-memory - and achingly sad for its sorrow. But, as you said, joy has its price. And I know you will agree that the torture of the pain is worth the joy, a million times over. Hugs.
