A Whispered Breath

Reflections of passion in a quiet voice...

In the endless void of all beginning...

The Spirit breathed ~

Across the vastness of unmade galaxies

there was a still, small voice.

I, made in the same image

raise my voice

breathing my whisper

warm upon an unmade love. 

Do you answer my call?

 

Doing thus, would we be reborn? 

Now, flesh of my flesh

as one, bone of my bone 

all our desires melting,

gathered in the clutches of satisfaction

blissful pleasure is ours.

Not of my creation,

lest I appear to boast, Bounteous joys freely gifted.

Should we claim ownership? 

Are we full of such greedy audacity? 

Though I hunt the deer upon my land

consuming what I claim is mine 

we both return to dust, 

this living land remains the basket of our passing. 

If the flesh passes not beyond the veil, 

what does it profit to preserve purity? 

There can be no blasphemy in pleasure.

Neither is there vanity nurturing passion. 

Doth human legacy not ride the crest of passion's waves? 

Do we not collect our lives upon time's sand spilled shore? 

We need not shout our rage

striving to live beyond fate's shadow.

Expect not loud beating drums or bugled songs

heralding our arrival and all to soon departure.

Listen to the quiet pulse...

Two hearts echoing a whispered legacy ~

Exhaled upon spent, flushing flesh 

Fulfilled in the climax of our love.

Author's Note

These are a few thoughts I recorded on my I phone on my drive home from work last night... I hope my words can inspire others to embrace and live their passions, breathing in the whispers of love in their lives.

this isn't asking for much...just a little love towards one another...a small sampling within a big galaxy...but if we all felt this, gave this, there would be a multitude and it would fill the heavens.

i hear your whispers, my friend.

[David Scott]

Thank you very kindly Jacob. It is a blessing beyond measure to be heard... Somehow, being heard recreates the writers words in an evolution of organic vitality far beyond any preconceived expectation. Thank you for always reading and commenting on my poetry. You are a great support to me in this area.

[MsJewel]

I can feel the passion in your words - quite powerful...and the images you have created truly are stunning. But I think what I like best about your poem is the way it starts out slow and begins to sizzle towards the end. Captivating! Stunning, stunning poetry David.

Thank you Jewel. You really are a "gem". ;) ha. I'm sure you've never heard that before...
I believe love, intimacy, and sexual enlightenment comes from time spent in quiet contemplation. We build the emotional, intellectual, and intentional foundations for the spontaneity of fulfilling expressions in this way... IMO. Ha.
Anyhow, thank you. I know you understand this concept far better than I do by reading your work here.

Though I hunt the deer upon my land,
Consuming what I claim is mine,
We both return to dust,
This living land remains the basket of our passing.

A powerful spiritual piece, David.

[David Scott]

Thank you Pryde. We never really "own" anything... Other than our character...

[Pryde Foltz]

And sometimes that 'owns' us. Again a really great piece.

Doth human legacy not ride the crest of passion's waves?
Do we not collect our lives upon time's sand spilled shore?

Going Shakespearian on us as you pose some interesting questions… this poem gives the read a lot t think about.

[David Scott]

Ha... I'm a little weird, I know. This is how I think. This poem literally presented itself to me while driving home this week from the office...
I'm reading too much lately.
Thank you for reading Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Nothing wrong with reading, thinking and expressing your thoughts. It is what makes a great writer.

[David Scott]

Thank you again Dale for your supportive comments.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are most welcome sir.

[Lyn Anderson]

I love this. It expresses the intensity of emotion between a truly united couple. A beautiful write.

[David Scott]

Thank you KL. Unity come through intimacy and intimacy is found within spiritual communion... IMO. ha. :)
You are kind to review my poetry.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Its been a while David I see I have been truly missing out.This is a wonderful write filled with so much emotion and passion and what is writing without both.I loved these two lines .

"Should we claim ownership?
Are we full of such greedy audacity? "

[David Scott]

Thank you Vidya. I have not had the spirit to write for a while now... It feels good to jot down a few thoughts.

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are welcome :-)

this one stimulates the mind and the desires.. wheeew.. got a little hot towards the end David.. nice.. I like the slow sizzle in the background throughout.. and the deep questions sprinkled in there.. I have to admire the divine phrasing in this as well.. (no pun intended).. it added power.. the ending has to be my favorite.. that alone is breathtaking.. the imagery, the emotion, and the way you worded it is just stunning.. well done indeed.. oh yes! I want some of that!

[David Scott]

Don't we all? :)
Thank you kindly for your supportive comments.
I will refrain from any elaborations... Ha.
Difficult for me to do btw...
Sleep well.

[AprilRN1210]

I am known to behave every now and then as well.. not easy, I know.. not as fun either, unfortunately.. thank you and likewise:)
