Her hand lays upon my cheek

Catching the stream

Of the tears of my past

In the caress of her warmth

Her words soft as dusk

She whispers:

I know

The beautiful darkness of her eyes catch the light once more

Our spark ignites for a final time

Deep into the pool of my eyes

She smiles

And fades into the winds of my wasteland

A parting tear rolls down the cheek she once cradled

The trace of her touch lingers

A last cling to the aroma of her love

And I smile

For she is not gone

But her job is done

You’ll never know, how much

I’m feeling

You’ll never know, how much

I need you

So come on home again

Please

Come on home again

[cjlev]

To have loved how we loved

Eyes locked, skin tender

To have loved how we loved

Hands clasped, lips traced

To have loved how we loved

Sea of brown, sea of blue

To have loved how we loved

Bodies ignited, spirits calm

To have loved how we loved

Unsung harmony, fragile peace

To have loved how we loved

Hidden darkness, returning comfort

To have loved how we loved

Forever painful, eternally beautiful

[cjlev]

We are ancient hearts

A beat so strong

We are the petals of love

A touch so gentle

We are the faintest shadows

A dance so deft

We are the flicker of candles

A flame so gentle

We are the trace of embers

A light so dim

We are one

A fate so destined

We are absent

A presence so cold

[cjlev]

I pull the black dagger

From my heart

The weight of my armour

Now a fluid mercury

Not a poison to me

A release

I steep to one knee

Chest free

A pour of soft gold down your slender arm

Sheds the silver mercury away

Fills the wound that I

Cast upon myself

Your fingers brush me

As though they are lillies in my garden of Eden

Lustful inhale of your scent

Rises me to my feet

No dagger

No armour

No wound

I am free to caress my bird of grace

I stare into your dark eyes

Capturing all that is beautiful

For it is in the darkness lies your beauty

Your light

An existence of compassion existing

Inside of me, inside of you

And it is with the soft embrace of souls

I say

I’m sorry

My eight-letter woman-of-wonder

I’m sorry.
