Years touch flowers tender, sweet charity
Like white minks running over shipwrecks
Ageless inferno, chamber’s golden matrimony
Hybrid roots human providence
Where trees part, inspired warmth proceeds
The doubt, the first encounter
Heroic dreams, stacked in lofts, like stars
Running down my chin

I feel the hand of summation
Oh, arrogant grin
Bolsters intrinsic beauty
Serpentine impulse makes entrance
Sub-atomic particles
Strain for the embodiment
Like a solemn oath
Which tethers on summer nights
Ancient beings randomly transform
Leaving me, speechless

Yes, indeed
I know the shores edge &
Specter of black disease
The jagged rocks of treachery
Picking off lives, one by one
Clinical assassins
Crouch belly genocides
Still walking the front page
Of days end
Their croaks and moans of blood chilling
Sorrow, though, mine appears randomly phobic
Like a lie...aborting life
But...

I choose to know sounds of heather
Where the enemy vanishes
Bottomless oceans, eye dialect
Of the four winds
Call me idealistic....
To look within, for the Holy Grail
Where corners of some southern sea
Lap agape, like a quiet pillow
Monitoring, a new age
That is what truth remembers
There is where, brides walk into evening
Like a soothing vesper on its knees

There is only love

Had to come in here just because it was you...also had to read it a couple of times and finally decided that it's all about just three lines...actually the first of three, but they fit inclusively.

"That is what truth remembers
There is where, brides walk into evening
Like a soothing vesper on its knees"

....and it saddened me...which makes it just wonderful because it invoked feeling and thought.

I enjoy you, my friend.

And the wind filled my sail with a guiding star ahead of the bow. Very nice dear.

If you are as lovely as your words, then you are beautiful!  I think you must be.

Yes!  Yes!  and Yes again!  We can choose the world we live in and that which we gift to others - you write love so well - and your heart spills compassion -

Beautiful this, beautiful you -

Hugs - Susan

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

“Like white minks running over shipwrecks”
