Running your fingers
down my spine
with gentle exploration,
you softly blew away
the dust that had gathered
from neglect
& turned the pages of my life,
sculpting contours
of my heart.
You threw open
shuttered windows,
a fresh burst of air
breaking through brick & mortar
I had laid so diligently
around my soul,
enlarging silent spaces,
leaving me a quiet place
where I could dwell & dream
away from the madness
of this wild world.
You held my hair
within your hands,
wrapping its length
around your neck,
a silken tie
to bind us together
throughout time.
You traced my flesh
with tenderness ~
incredible, indelible ink
painting unforgettable landscapes
as we nurtured each other's breath,
understanding just how precious
the gift of life & laughter
may become
during sacred moments
like these.
I weep no more for beauty,
embraced by the memories
you gave me,
golden as the sun descends,
waiting only
for moonlight's caress...

And you, my Love...you are my garden & my gardener...you cultivate my soil, plant new & tender seeds each evening...& stroll softly, slowly, silently through my branches under moonlight. God, I love you...& your wild, warm words.
