Bleeding My Sorrows Wounds, though mine are many, refuge you gladly gave. Cradled, and attended by the sounds of your heart's embrace -- its coddling tempo echoing compassion. Bleeding my sorrows, you only held me closer (unafraid to mix your blood with my own) rapidly abandoning self and conforming to my needs -- like a sponge you consumed my fear. Secure within the nurturing of your sanctum my skin once again became receptive to touch, and my need for affection quickened as the gentle persuasions of your saintly songs delivered healing to my soul. Discovering new air, a scent of passion began to overtake me, like spring I was given to new life. My eyes, now in earnest sight of love for the first time are fixed to know its trancing glimmer. And just as I thought my comprehension had swelled to its heights, you looked at me and said... ''by the light of our union my soul has prospered, and in your need my heart returned to life'' © Robert Joseph ~enb~ |

Robert Joseph, so often what love brings to us, it allows us to give, in return. This is beautiful writing. Thank you ~ Rainydays |
