Timelessness

Even when the elements split the earth in me
and fling my crumblings into the scattered emptiness
of worlds ground to crushed chaos and smashed collision,
your Love will be my beacon thru the rubble
blinking in the nothingness,
dodging past the brokenness
and guiding me ‘til end of Time.

And when Night caves in from stars sucked out
by Age leaving days and shattered suns
slipping down Eternity at a million midnights per second,
your Love will be my flame in the black wind
blistering in the coldness,
blazing me with boldness
and fusing me to your Love divine.

And when I measure my Life,
not by the number of breaths I take
but by your moments which take my breaths away
and not by the number of aches I’ve caged in heartbreaks
but by your conquest of my plundered ones set free.
Breathless may be the light of all precious stones
but only your Love shines the polished gem of me

For I’m stained glass lost at night,
with a longing waiting mindless
in a trembling fingered blindness
for that moment rendered timeless
when your Love dawns the darkness
and I bathe in shafts of Light.

Namyh,
There's so many wonderful poetic metaphors in this piece...

This is really a powerful start!

"Even when the elements split the earth in me
and fling my crumblings into the scattered emptiness
of worlds ground to crushed chaos and smashed collision"

That hooked me and I had to keep on reading....
Enjoyed the read very much.

true love never looks after it's own interests

Paul - It is Love indeed and I feel mighty lucky to still enjoy it after over half a century. Hallelujah! It'll make a poet want to write about it every day. Whoa! Thanks for enjoying this one Paul. Namyh

Life measured in moments spent with the one we love...what a beautiful concept.
You have it bad...in a real good way my friend.
