Yes

My footsteps carry me away from you, my heart
Toward mundane tasks, toward rooms empty of you
Dark like the midnight velvet of the sky devoid of
The sun, moon, and stars
I have seen Armaggedon, yes
My mirror, my heart
It is when you press your heart to my lips
And leave
Oh, my footsteps...wretched...
My footsteps carry me away from you
Yet I carry your heart in my heart
I have been nourished by the song
Of your wild laughter, caught upon
The darling dimples in your smile
Did you know, my love, that I found
Entire worlds nestled in your siren hips
There, where I go like a devout pilgrim
To worship, entranced by the esoteric scent
Of your garden, to get drunk off of your blush
And find myself purified, naked as a newborn's soul
This is madness, you proclaim
Could it be any other way, light of my life?
I see God reclining in your jewelled eyes
When your gaze reaches for mine
See Him dancing through all
That you do, my heart
Taste paradise upon your lips
All of creation
In the nectar
Of your hips
This is madness, yes
My mirror, yes
My footsteps, yes
They carry me away from you
Tomorrow, yes
My footsteps
Will carry me, yes
To you, yes
And I will again, yes
Gain the world.

Oh my goodness...this is flush with such surety of mind and language and yes i remember Alexandra and yes im glad i stepped back in from the wilderness that in retrospect i could have done without...but there are silver linings and rainbows when bad choices are finally realised and a warm hearth is there...back at home..where one returns..where it has gently burned all along. This is bliss. So well articulated that it affected my breath...you are so breathtakingly accomplished my dear x

[Ed Hart]

fortunate man to be showered in this warm spring rain of words to bless the heart

[A.A.Romanczuk]

We are both fortunate indeed

[Patrick O'Boyle]

Really well structured and the imagery you created was really evocative and in some places unorthodox:)
Kind of reminded me of Dickinson's "I taste a Liquor never Brewed"!

[Emily B]

this is gorgeous, so glad to find you here!
