In Tenderness Held |

A soft hand, in tenderness held...In need of a kiss as a tear, a single tear wells within the crease of eye. Let this tear, a minion of me...let it dwell till dried by the sun’s morn, as does the dew of the vine in vertical pose, awakening to a new day of reach, where the grapes shall lavish in the sweetness of their own juice.. A wanting eye, undaunted by the squint of ray, the winds of breeze or the dust of mire. Searching in need of find...walking the corners of darkened dwell, the hall of boards in squeak, the silent stairs that stare back...as though challenging one to take a next step....just one. Breath, held into the ache....as a heart pounds relentlessly in the starve. Expelled as would be the cannon’s ball...yet silent... Needing only to be fed the air of life in the wait of eternity.. As a gown in flow....touches the face.. As I await the hear of you in soft sigh upon the vastness of a mind’s dream... My steed shivers, as I reign and rein. Humility awaits me most humbly... And graciously... |

....in vertical pose, awakening to a new day of reach, where the grapes shall lavish in the sweetness of their own juice.. You have written many brilliant lines in my short time here but this is by far my favourite. |
