Within velvet tips of finger’s caress,
I grant thee my wavering soul.
Beyond echoes of breath upon skin,
A kiss seals me to the heaven I hold…

Jubilance is mine, as you are my wake,
To the tenderness of gallant display-
When sensation proves sweeter by minute,
I shall conquer, mayhap, I shall pray…

Betwixt conscience and bewildered heart-
I seek guidance from within thine embrace,
Shall I coast tender waves without knowing?
Bleeding open to you, very well my disgrace…

As destined are we both to another-
Still our stars cross in mystical light,
Glittering yet, one last stoical tear-
To forge beneath perilous night…



Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Devina~
I must have 'blinked' ....
wouldn't miss your far-too-infrequent post
for the world.

'Within velvet tips of finger’s caress,
I grant thee my wavering soul.'

Love these lines .....
Come visit more often, hon.
I miss ya' !

Beautiful work!
"Betwixt conscience and bewildered heart,
shall I coast tender waves without knowing
bleeding open to you, very well my disgrace."

These are deep and tender words of yearning for fulfillment in a hopeless situation....
Good writing!

Devina, this has got to be one of the most beautiful poems of yours I've ever read.  Sad in a way, but breathlessly beautiful nonetheless...You haven't been posting much I see, had to DIG for this one!
