Your wearied touch.
Circles brushed
upon my lips.

These memories
are written by
your fingertips.

A ring of fire
now reflects
the growing dawn.

A bed of coals
in curling light,
rich and wan.

We grew slowly
as the sun
in morning motes.

Just as slowly,
years wear ash
in charcoal coats.

Holding close.
The embers dull.
In this embrace.

Against the sun
two shadows fall
like smoke and lace.

Again(still), you forge your words with clay-hammer strokes on dust and ash.

Quite a write

I like the verse, too, that says...

"These memories
are written by
your fingertips"

This is just beautiful...

your rhymes divine soothe me weary mothmind

I was reborn on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
Virginia hasn't yet faded away
I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
So I am endlessly waiting

Stunning.

Reading this was like being finger fed peeled grapes. So sensual, so loving and so decadent.

you too seem to find the words and form them like a few others here so that what lies on the page..ends up in ones heart.
