Prophecy, Part 5

He could not remember taking steps

            prophetic love transcends time and space

but found himself again

with her,
transformed as if into one soul's mate,
upon satin sheets
sharing aspirations of

once upon a time,

He wanted to ravage

her senses, lavish her with words,
savor every dimension

of her cinnamon flesh

as the aroma of their
conjoining consumed his
own senses

he felt the intoxication
of her          

            when perfumed prophecy fully captivates all senses

Then after what seemed a lifetime of loving,
they laid as if they had become captured

by Michelangelo himself,
two still lives of marble,

gleaming alabaster upon a canvas of satin
slumbering as one soul.

Nocturnal shadows are a strange thing,

for again, as before, the gray
dream came unto him just before
the dawn's hour

and what once was the old woman,

the teller of fortunes

the prophetess of destiny

was now his lovely auburn moth

adorned in splendid silver gown,
her hair in flow, her features in glow

shimmering in a living halo.

He could barely hear her now, as she sang softly
only to him


    My love, I am of celestial prophet's will
    Sent by poets your soul to thrill
    Word of spirit that may e'er flow
    Given you now by moonlight's glow


In the time it takes

to slow awake
from slumber's
dream

he remembered

          the crash

                    the headlines

                               her funeral

                                          his loss
                                                    
and alone now, amid the
satin

her cinnamon scent
extracted from wafts of
summer air

His poet's voice whispered
in her voice
his name

just as she had done in the hours
of their love making.

Now, he understands,

and taking up his pen
as he had once taken her
with full desire
but gentle caress

Without artificial force,

smooth thoughts from heart to
pen began as an effortless flow
of cinnamon ink

filled page
after page

permanent,
incontrovertible

poetry,

as her aroma
permeated the room.

He felt as if he moved with a last movement,
an overture as a crescendo
of pen to
a verse

her verse.

Unaware of the soft light from the corner
of the room, as the forever of her love
filled his pen with eternity, she could hear
the scratching form the infinite testimony

of their love,

    Now with prophecy fulfilled
    A poet's write forever willed
    Words of thee infinitely stream
    A lover's writer's rewarded dream

Patricia, thank you so much, for allowing our voices, pens, muses to join in such a duet.  That we were able to get a whole story done is, well, phenomenal in some ways...but those who commented that we were "seamless" is only because you offer such wonderful content, and I, the mere assistant in this labor of love.

Rest well now, and know that you did well.

Thank you!

Alright girls, it seems you have me hooked on a soap opera! How did you do that, huh? Another round of goose bumps...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

not goosebumps....
butterflybumps ... tingles...
and envy.... poetic envy at such high inspire.
You two upheld the grace and excellence in this with every chapter..
Seems you two are kismetely meant to write together...hope you will do it again when the muses whisper.
Very lovely, soulful writing ladies.  

No matter what the differences
No matter what the cost
When words become our weapons ...
All that's beautiful is lost.

I am taking this opportunity to thank all of our readers.  This has been one of the great experiences of my life.  Just ask my friends here at home...I can't stop talking about this collaboration and the series of poems that came from it.  

During the process, I learned so much from Karilea...believe me, she knows.  Every day, I told her what a wonderful learning and growing experience this was for me.  I not only learned of, about, and from Karilea, but also learned something about myself as well.

So, warm hugs and a great thanks to all of you!  And Karilea, well, you know how I feel about you.  God bless you, my friend.

Patricia

Series are not easy to write.  So the idea for this one goes to Patricia.  As I told her, I only came in with cement and paint and had a great time in working with her.  Thank you, readers...you brought so many smiles to us with your comments!  Thank you!

ah..an ending that takes the one to again find his pen..and the things written are from himself..not forced into being by a desire..but now by a need...to capture, to paint, to re-live...

Indeed a series worth saving to savor again and again...

Bravo you two... Bravo!
