Clotted tears shroud a fretful torture
Crumbled life, ardent screams of fear
Where flourishes the golden fruit?
When lovers dare not draw near

Full life comes to fire
Having sweetened things admire
Embers burning as God’s wing
Where I write your name on spring

I’ve searched every room for countenance
And you
Shaping human patience with bare hands
Planting increments of mystic language
Between flesh of spirit and turbulent

Why should I dare to hear the rain?
I won’t!
But of love and night and day
Where flesh quivers from blossoms saved
Love…oh pretty thoughts of everlasting face

Youth sings to quiet men
Adorning some earthly aquarium
I fan the fire like a poet’s dream
Praying
Darting from the crunch of death’s feet

There are overemphasized census
Encroachments of mixed estimates
But I insist on a closer union
Learning
One contrasted with compatible fusions

Incapable of knowing any breakers mass
We will re right to share the fruits
The taste of sea-green oceans
I smell your smiles
Know your weariness and devotions

We will allow the wind
Recognize no place where men are lost
Find me in the elements
I’m yours
Where orchards yield and show
An easy breeze

this was my favorite stanza of yours...the lines are amazing and fresh.

such a profound piece here Lee....enjoyed much!

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you
