In the soot of dreams
you awoke

And, I kissed you

As I knelt upon a star
and held you,
from afar

Clinging onto opened
doors you called my name
as you floated down
waterfalls

of frozen flames

but, my eyes wouldn’t yell
and my heart wouldn’t swell
and still somehow
to you,

I came

Like jagged waves
splitting bone
on the lost bank
you, the spot of leopards
and, sharp hair of night
fall through me
high in the cellar of
granite windows
looking out, at the
cold fire of heart
you, beside me,
inside me,
are
my wind of truth

You, are,
my earth of life

Thanks so much for taking the time Munda, it’s very nice to meet you.

Thank you Shyvl, yeah, word breaks can be a little tricky, can’t they. I really appreciate the reply, so nice to meet you.

Hi Dixie, I remember many a late night it would be just me and you, and a few others keeping an eye on things around here, till the day shift arrived, for work lol. Thanks so much for the comments. Very nice to see you again.

Dear Martie, I hope you and yours are very fine and well. Thanks for the kind words, it’s always special to hear from you.
