I touched your face You came to me I slipped— I could not hold you in my arms— For whose arms can encircle the world? Certainly no human Has ever been born Who can hold the swirling of life in their palms— Or contain its Spinning, jumping light in a jar— Or paint the turquoise-golden redness that blurs The wind— And so I cannot hold you my love— I touched your mind— But recoiled From the immensity of the Blackness there— Too many stars for me to comprehend shone, but still The ebony space threatened my humanity— And you were there beside me All the while Laughing— Laughing at my confusion— Softly— And you reached out to take me in your arms— And I fell into them Slipping into the whispers that told me the truth And told me the lies— Wrapped myself in them— Cloaked in whispers— And slept, oh, so warm— Protected by the secret of your being.

You move this poem beautifully, and your imagery is scintillating. Can't ask for better than this. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
