Chaotic wilderness

Soft silky breezes would walk

in your midst 

as you enter my chaotic wild heart.

Your footsteps would 

stir the sleeping jasmines.

Your scent would wake

the passion of the moon flowers. 

The mist would creep

in, behind your feet,

and the frost-laden winds would follow.

The pines would rattle

to your haunting calls.

The emerald pools of water

would gurgle in the hollow.

With the weight of 

your memories,

the night air

shall breathe a rich perfume.

You've found the gates open 

into this chaotic wilderness. 

But darling, you'll never find 

a way back home.

I know I have been away for quite some time. I am sorry if I haven't reviewed back. I hope to put everything straight now.

My favorite moon daughter! You blow my little mind with your whimsical, incredibly beautiful images. Can I just slip into your mind and stay there? Would you mind too much if I camped out in this forest you so beautifully constructed? I'm in heaven! Thank you for this one. I could just close my eyes and let your words transport me to this peaceful place. Thank you, my friend for sharing this little piece of art with us. It is my new favorite!

Ah ha!! I wouldn't mind even if you decided to bring the entire team of boy scouts along with you to camp in here...plenty of room in my airy head...:)))

Beautiful use of description. Took the reader to beautiful places and sad ending.

A wonderful metaphor, your heart compared to a chaotic wilderness. Some experiences change one forever; thus, there's no going back. Very well expressed. A lovely poem.

[Alfred Kukitz]

I don't think he's likely to want a way out. I believe you captured chaotic in a descriptive essence. The poem puts me right there, each moment thrilled by wilderness. This piece reflects your way with words. Thank you!
