To the Wind

I gave my blood

spilled and cold 

it sat

I took your love,

mixed it in.

Rumors.... high in the flying wind

will never disperse

only rise again and again

I'd wished I could but 

never ever knew

what was in that heart of gold

I sat and pondered 

long and hard...

had we stopped to care?

I asked why we couldn't dare.

The Earth is lax

and the sky is fat

but all in all

it's only dangerous til we die.

I'd love all that's human

if I knew it was only blood

It's the parts we don't see

makes me need you mixed with me.

What a journey your're displaying here, it's like an adventure into the unknown, the waiting to be discovered.. life and love carried in the wind. Somehow I want to find a soft silk net and draw it closer and closer. This is a strangely tender but powerful post, one that's set me wanting .. Thank you so much for sharing.. 'The Earth is lax ~ and the sky is fat ~ but all in all ~ it's only dangerous til we die.'

Always a good journey in your words. I like the flow of thoughts and the above lines. We must be fair. Hope for the best in the people around us. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

A graded piece that tells us never to believe in what we see, always look deeper, well done.

[Mark]

A thoughtful, romantic write with some lovely sentiments, especially the final two lines. I wondered if this was about forbidden love with the ref to "rumors" that keep appearing? It's a beautiful poem. Justine

[Mark]

Thank you for reading Justine. It wasn't written with any particular person or situation in mind, just kind of popped out of my head as I sat in a Wichita motel room listening to the wind. :)

Mark, romance seems be pouring from your pen lately. This was wonderful. I loved the questions posed in this one along with the ever present heart beat.

[Mark]

It's all I used to write about. Once in awhile it comes out still. LOL

[Jack...]

Well when it comes out it comes out very nicely.

I'd love all that's human
if I knew it was only blood
but it helps that you're along
and we pour together in our song.

We given wonder and faith but no assurances … Great one, Mark.

[Mark]
