It began acquaintances of fire bath that washed our skins in aftermath Long beyond initial connotations, into something swelled and fond As I have heard of first and deepest cut, the truth bears out differently A flickered remembrance licks my lips and comes to life again Stronger and harder than what has ever been, two virgins we remain Standing in each other’s gaze, beaded in a private blaze Glistening in something sacred, fragrant oils streaming dual dreaming And I recall the cleave of words you learned so long ago That plucked the strings in me of self-doubt, sending my eyes to earth Yet my heart cannot plummet for this sky is endless and eternal What you lost gleams before me in a safe and sorrowed silver box For it belongs to you and therefore is reverent in my eyes too Yet gold remains the hold that sparkles in my soul And commandeers these inner ears, a deeper prize in hallowed tears But love allows the hear of ever echoed dreams endear The path abandoned in our steps across this bridge of was And I extend my arms in curved satin ribbons seeking you and only you Our poetry is free, unfettered by the wishes of the mass assumptions A compass leads the way to burn a trail that cannot in its gold find fail You are my love, through all and not at all, if I should fall then plummet To the center of your heart, terrain that I have traveled in a summer breeze And you my beautiful man, require nothing more to rhyme or reason I will not deny or treason ever any part of what is in your heart And you remand of me these dreams that cast the mist from closed eyes Adored in every whispered spirit wise and warm the flood You course the channels of my blood in blue And green our revelations, set softly into fair migrations On a path more deeply red and real in its luminary constellations Copyright Kkh 5/29/04 |

But love allows the hear of ever echoed dreams endear The path abandoned in our steps across this bridge of was And I extend my arms in curved satin ribbons seeking you and only you Our poetry is free, unfettered by the wishes of the mass assumptions A compass leads the way to burn a trail that cannot in its gold find fail You are my love, through all and not at all, if I should fall then plummet Goodness, I wish I could write the love that I feel this way. Absolutely and gloriously beautiful, Kathleen!! |

"And you my beautiful man, require nothing more to rhyme or reason I will not deny or treason ever any part of what is in your heart And you remand of me these dreams that cast the mist from closed eyes Adored in every whispered spirit wise and warm the flood You course the channels of my blood in blue And green our revelations, set softly into fair migrations On a path more deeply red and real in its luminary constellations" Kathleen -- you are very certainly inspired by this spirit!
