I have denounced the mechanics
of Catholicism far too often,
to claim an empathy
for divine creation.

Miracles for me are foreign
day dreams, but internally
I held the naked heavens
without indication of  religion.

It was in the birth of galaxies
that lovers were conceived,
though the stars scattered to dust,
and we fell to earth as halves.    

This alchemy unites us:
separate elements  
in forlorn distance,
but singular in heart  

My prayers are not born of masses,
They are all dedications to you,
my angel loved sexually and purely.
Your temple is where I orbit.

Siamese lovers are we,
rediscovering the lost wonders
across techno-communication
until we share the same skin.

Every atom of you radiates
this purgatory, you are my everything.
And soon will be for an eternity.
In this life wait for me, I will be with you shortly.

I liked this very much especially this part "It was in the birth of galaxies
that lovers were conceived,
though the stars scattered to dust,
and we fell to earth as halves"
your poem says to me that lovers are chosen in the begining of time and will eventually find eachother and unite until they for a whole.  is a very nice and romantic thought

You've chosen very intense words to use in your poem which makes the whole piece very intense. Like how you explored your relationship to a point where you had me thinking the whole time what you were feeling.

Not the usual soppy love poem - it rocks Brian, it has heart and intellect and a deeply forlorn element...

excellent writing...

Ginners, I believe, corny as it may sound, that we are part of the heavens and the stars, and also that there are souls that we have very strong connections with. Thanks for your very kind reply

HiddenSparklez, love can be an intense emotion, thank you for your reply.

K, I don't go for soppy love poems, you should know me better than that lol and you know how "deeply forlorn" I am. Thanksfor very generous words.

Jannel, I am not familar with that Plato myth, so I will take your word for it. THanks for reading and replying.

Sandra, thanks and happy new year to you too.

James, thanks.

Dawn, well I will hopefully have more words for you at the weekend. I will just say a simple thank you and send my love here, and save the more passionate thanks for when we are alone.
