where the wild flowers grow

I wish I could veiw you
from the height of a bird in flight.
To merely dream of running human fingers through your hair..

..maybe then,
I would know what desire could be.
I close my eyes and fly away.

I wish I could kiss you
with lips only pure.

To puncture your lips with my filth would be blasphemy..

If only I could achieve perfection
for you..
My tears make your hand slip from mine..

...and I have become void of anything divine.

What a tender way to write heartache.

Beautifully done, Karou.

It was the song of finches
that reminded me of how
on rainy days we would chatter
as in flit from thought
to feel
we spread our wings
and learned to fly

You told me then
you were ugly
inside from things
you would not speak to

I smiled
knowing ugly all too well
and tossed seeds to the wind
hoping what was not eaten
by passing finch or sparrow
might grown into something
we could share


Now...

It is the finches

passing shadows

beautiful poem

~To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.--> Blake~

Kaoru, this one hurts.   You write of emotions
so perfectly, lady.
