years touch flowers
tender
such
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 shores edge &
specter of black disease
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 & moans
of blood chilling sorrow
though
mine appears randomly phobic
like a lie...aborting life
but...

I choose to know sounds of heather
where enemies vanishe
bottomless oceans
eyes dialate like
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
where white brides walk into evening
like a soothing vesper on its knees

there is only love~

“there is only love~”

And in YOUR poetry it lives and thrives for the reader.
It doesn’t get any better than this.
Another beauty LJ.

"only love
can break a heart
only love
can mend it
again"

without even reading your poem yet, this is what the title pulled from the recesses of my heart and mind
now, I shall read what YOU wrote

OMG, but this is a keeper for me. And my words above, stand...as written, as sung.
