joining of hearts


instinctive the gaze to
touch primal yearnings
quickened, the pulse gives way
as rapturous waters
flow over the body
melted resolve holding sway

shhh, tis audible
love's heartbeat drones
melding of souls ensues
fine savor of essences
hanging heavy in air
all senses love's anguish imbues

complete resistance
becomes utter release
in silence the merging imparts
fulfillment of nature
divine love's deep heat

proves the joining of hearts

this poem is in response to i will possess your heart over at Shadow's place.

Thanks Shadow, that was awesome.

Charmed Dwelling



charmed dwelling inspiring - filled, brightly magical

living on love - not too much to tackle


every good thing - part of provisions

basics of life - plan for daily intentions


pulling together - two kids, one wagon

sometimes collective - haul one another when dragging


grace and peace sewn - a patch quilt of sharing

shelter and warmth - hints exciting and daring


moreover essentials encompassed surpassed

love's passion charmed - life fully possessed


------------------------

Hard truth vs Acceptance

How will hard truth come into lives between?
Not knowing when, only that it soon would.
Places, heart's hope, emotion is unseen,
Unkind to speak and give insight that could

Tell all, candor, deceit has been so rude.

Confront stone wall that's built cannot be done,
Though pain is caused by this I now ought run.



"the mystic mind never intended for truth to stand alone, for it must always be balanced with beauty." -o'hOgain

If You Asked Me I Would


if you asked me
I’d go out with you anytime
become lost in your eyes
relish the lilting song of your voice
feel energy of presences overlapping
touch without a word, eyes locked

hand brushing lightly all over

blessing of touch renewed

bodies sliding together - apart

life’s dance of love


if you asked me
I’d let you into my being moment by moment
did we wake up this way?

laughing over spilled milk

eating crackers in bed

drinking in one another’s essence

condensing emotion
embraces anticipated…

if you asked me
I would let you wash every inch of me
in a thunderous mountain stream

thick with forest smell, leaf, fauna

skin braced in coolness,

every nerve aware of contact

water beaded jewels on your body

warmed again by caress

lying on warm stone in sun

both free and in sync

in the open air

if you asked me
I would let you into my emotional fortress
bound together as blood natives

battling forces of evil together

hands pulling loads together,

bodies bearing burdens of pain

shared resources of strength

comfort in each others very bosom

warmth pressed to warmth

a kiss, the heat of love

in lips, in chest to chest, in arms on backs
body banter, flesh flavor, discovery
fingers tangle, touch, avalanche

if you asked me
I would light up with you in body glow
with stars and moon observing
our lives a mist on a windy night

full mouths connect
empty hands embrace
where clothes once were

a garden in full bloom

two hearts one heart

our hands one hand,

this love one love,

our lives one life

awaken from the slumber ---

if you asked me, we would, you and I
