Dear lover,

Did we not share something
that late october morning
under the sun's labored return
in the dissolution of midnight
the sky brushing its embers off

the trees, holding us newborns,
saplings cradled in their kingdom,

did we not embark on adventure
blindfolded, strangers, bound only
by mere shreds of mutual premonition

thrown together flowerchilden
victim to the random winds of change

and did not our spoken silences
write picture stories on cerualean skies

you held me,

in hand and in heart,
stitched together etchings
on tumbledwood trees,

i visit there on whims of time
while the wornout moon does hide
as you sleep, beautiful boy,
in your dessert hours,

we flew,

our wings sewn as one
sparkling on the sky
as the dawn rose,

had not the transcendence
of this many seasoned dream
come to the face of its recognition

perhaps the heart would not
feel such the harshness
of your silence

Michele..I started to choose certain lines and stanzas that were my favourite..but, I ended up with most of the piece copied down.

This is so beautiful..yet has a sad feel to it.  Love it! Extremely well done.

~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

beautiful

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
(by Virginia Woolf)

Oh yes!
I feel sadness for the desert boy
who could not take in such passion.

There is beauty in your sadness and it radiates with each and every word.    
Silence may not always be golden, but it sure makes for good poetry!

Just as pretty as your picture~
Hugs Michele~

I do believe that you be more a Goddess of the Flower Children than a Goddess of the Inked Ones! lol

~ I truly love to read your poetry! You have a gift.

Love & Light,
