So This Is Love |

...everything I write, I have learned on your lips...  So this is love at the lower altitudes of the deep South, receding into Rorschach’s of charred pumice and a sweet incoherence of tears lodged in the blue membranes, something of death descends the dark end of a sullen spectrum, and down in deep facets I am led each night to that drowning place, listen to this white hot silence, listen as the panthers come to inhabit my lungs, muffled in the dark throes of this monster, the body, this miracle of indigo tears sting the throat as it tightens on the heart stems, God, sometimes my body just breaks down, trembling... in this, our wilderness at the lower altitudes of the Deep South, a dark Sabbath descends, though, in your eyes, I find a threshold back into beauty's arms, and so this is love. |

Very good write. I like this part in this, our wilderness at the lower altitudes of the Deep South, a dark Sabbath descends, |

...everything I write, I have learned on your lips... When I read that in one of your responses, I knew it had to be part of a poem... either one already written... or one yet to be. *S* Stunningly beautiful write!! |
