Restless Heart

The fingers of her heart
tap out the measure of her feeling,
fragile tapered candles they spark
on the cement
where her need sighs words.

All around her
is a garden
growing so much whatnot,
lavished with wings,
bees and hummingbirds
surround her hair of dusk
where embers glow
with cinnamon.

Listen to the sound
of the stretching of her mind,
it is stitching now a minute,
growing colors,
see there the lavender of abandon.

I can see her from this window
that distributes time
wrapped in parchment
and tied with twine.

Her wings are splendid
and her eyes are prisms
that cast a shadow that burns,
burns the quiet heart,
torches the waiting pulse,
breaths air into the coals.

She is watching me,
across the chasm of my vestibule
she paints me with cinnabar
and waits for me
to walk with her
out into someplace else.

Martie, have I told you lately how much I love your poetry?

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Martie, this is soooooooo beautiful and felt a little sad to me too, sweet friend, I hope now being a re-post that this special person you speak of has been reached out to and has felt your compassion just as I wish this for all others who restlessly yearn for the signal! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!

May love and liht always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I've tried, but I just can't write like this. Thank goodness, you can!

A novel idea, painting the retiring Sun with female attributes. Enjoyed.
