Love Letters

in my wait
I found you
in poetry
my very breath
spoke your name
and echoed between
my heart’s lullaby
in strongest beat
skin never before
ached this until
letters created a
romance in song
hands once clinched
found them open
and wrapping another’s
then and only then
did I know
no part of
me unfulfilled
once a language
of longing
so vastly hollow
forever now
to be gone
and now new
words find me
walking unknown steps
and no night
shall find me
without you

Dear Helen, I could have written this myself, and not changed a single thing.

You are in full bloom lovely lady, and the fragrance
of your words is intoxicating.

So very gorgeous.

Finding a lover in poetry is poetry within itself.

I am so happy that I found this. It's far too good to languish on past pages.

..and even in length, the poem flows and has a rhythm to it. Sometimes that's a hard feat to accomplish! Excellent writing as always.
