Rivulets and VioletsA Poem by J.A.BentleyUpon being saved I received a dream about my future wife. This is not the dream, just an inspired thanks.Labyrinthine hair and tassles of shade snake through my fingers like rivulets and violets I precariously pass the lips to kiss your sleeping eyelids as I pray and thank Jesus for how He did this.
Here lies a wonderous beauty with outlines I can only illustrate in sleep every moment is surreal every kiss succinct I shiver to think of your eyes brown grottos in which lesser men have drowned and I barely survive.
I can count the times I've given you my breath and I've received yours Where I have counted to ten only to give back to you again Shall I paint the picture as our lips brush the surface of something greater but lesser understood where love is our purpose and our death as our tool.
I shall die in your arms tonight and our hearts shall reside as one as this song from our hearts unite, twisting into our love. We shall create the symphony to which the stars shall dance. I willl thank Jesus again for He created...us. © 2011 J.A.Bentley |
