Words from the Devout


My eyes are wide with sight, but not the sight of ordinary
Love has come to blind me, replacing simplicity for complex
Vision of hearts entwined in the wake of passion and desire
And all the fires that burn within us.
You, my angel of the morning, the night, of the future
Whose beauty is unlike any other and I can not deny you
Anything, yet I want to keep you for myself, deny you the
Freedom any wild spirit deserves, but each time you
Spread your wings and take to the sky my heart breaks.
Promise me that in the moment your wings fold, and your head lays
Low to rest, it will be me in your thoughts, no other
Lie to me, if you must, to keep me hoping that even time
Can not separate us, can not build any wall to widen and thicken
Barring you from my touch.
And should I lose my path, I know that yours will find me soon
And guide me through, as my eyes are clear and my hand rest
Over my heart, within your palm and there is no greater love
Than the love between a man and his god.

Dragonpoe; How enchantingly lovely and romantic is your poem. I had to read it twice to get the full measure of it's beauty.
Welcome to Spiritual! I surely look forward to reading more, you are a gifted poet. Ellie

WELCOME!  This really caught my attention from beginning to end. The end is not what I expected to see, and so those final few words really stuck with me. Excellent way to end it with words that are SO true!

I'm glad to see you posting!
