On the Air of Eternity

You hold the fruit of my pathways
during storms that could chill the shores
of the blackest hearts.
Forming bracelets that encircle my soul
until I am down on my knees
knowing wherever you go I will follow
because I am your other part.

You hold in store a truth that sweeps across me
with a brilliance speaking slowly and softly
like the stars affection for the moon.
My heart beats in solid measure with your own,
same as starlight removes
a shadows downcast of gloom.

You spill into my sleep and kiss me with understanding
behind the blossoming beauty calling from years
of not being held,
breathing life into that which never beat with love.
Until what mattered most
found it adored the kiss finally felt.

My days ripple with the finest occupation of creation,
pressing against my tongue
as a breeze of the sweetest wine.
I hold your words on the air of eternity
and pray they always tell me
you will hold me
whenever I am looking for
all I need to find.

I currently have a puppy asleep on my lap. Another dog on my feet and a third nudging my left hand to get attention. I just hougth to myself, before I opened this, that life didn't get any better. Then I read. It does. It really does. Better than a puppy? Damn close call. Superbly written and..Oh...Lady...Just set up a God's damn church so people can worship

Breathtakingly beautiful writing.

[Arabdha]

your poem is definitely about a lot of things..but for me,its like you're looking at, experiencing your own personal salvation..and you want to hold on..you want it to stay till the rest of eternity..thats what keeps you alive ! tells you to go on breathing..beautiful thoughts..and as usual..beautifully penned :)

[Sujash I. Purna]

Inspiring work! The amazing thrill of creation of beauty is the poet's life-blood...it's what tempts a poet with the tantalising prospect of embracing eternity.

I can sense a yearning here too...for eternity...

Marvellous work!

[Leslie Philibert]

Good poem with lots of good lines.My heart...is a great line.I understand your poem to be a personification of eternity as a lover/partner or an inner part of your own soul.Good work.

Oh, Neva. This was beauty in one of its purest forms. There is nothing like two souls bound together as one.

Beautiful words. Nice to see someone express with passion the awareness of the spiritual and where our thanks belong.

This is the definition of love. I marvel at how you can put the unexplainable into words. This is an absolute stunner. You manage to uncover feelings that even the most hardened criminals would have to allow to surface.
