Atlas

Dedicated to my husband Joel. "I will love you today as I did yesterday..."

I will love you today
as I did yesterday,
Chasing your ghost
to the river Styx.
Diving in head first,
I celebrate the the love you bore.
Building me from the ground up;
pillars of romanced dreams
supporting the stitch work of my reality.
Carrying the liquid of my secrets,
with both hands cupped together.
Falling into the gravitational pull,
of your heart.
"The warmest place,
the sun never shone."
Spindles of my forever unraveled
for you.
As you left the world to orbit
on its own.
By merely gazing at me,
through your blue topaz pupils.

i can't imagine the dimension of loss

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem has many milestones both high and low, but is a declaration that true love will violently subdue any obstacle that should dare step into its path.
Your imagery is always so forceful. I love your "punchy" style.
