your blue feather

Deep within its circumference
you are held
by the colors that bleed intermittently
red over yellow
and the orange frost of a November
nightengale

you are the icicle
that slays my relentless heart

intravenous drip drip drip

you have yet to land
longer than the songbird
slipping off a random blue feather of his
most likely, without intention

but by pure faith
a bit of imagination
and the cockeyed optimist within

I choose to accept, though
merely self orchestrated, this offering
from you

Ahhh . . . Yes indeed, accept, accept, accept Emma . . . Got a bit carried away myself there, huh?

great 'write' ... particularly fine line:

"you are the icicle
that slays my relentless heart"

That about 'sums it up' for me
(all my 'experiences' with love) ...
and, I was NOT the 'icicle' !
