~ Sweet Light ~

Light 

my life with

that ever-burning flame.

Carry my heart upon the winds and

allow them to cascade against the cresting waves.

The beacon of your howling soul calls

to the deserted tips of my sails,

only to bring me weary

onto your hungry

sands. 

 

Love me sweet light of mine

for, my spirit craves that blinding shine.  

 

 

Hold

me within the

aching vessel, protecting

me from salty tears that threaten

the tender spots. My breath shall sound your

bells, whilst the beat of your heart

knowingly guides us through

the darkness that life

shadows around

lovers. 

 

Love me sweet light of mine

for, my spirit craves that blinding shine.

    Fantastic

    I love the imagery, and the soul. Thanks for reading my poem as well. I have never been much for poetry, but this poem actually made me feel. That is very much a good thing.

    Been awhile since you have let the world feel the breath of your intimate dreams. Nice use of repetition in this. The layout enhances and doesn't detract. There is an innocence and fragilness, i am not sure if I know the right word, that makes me want to sweep you up in my arms and tell you how you have nothing to worry about at all, I am here. I would say the piece works very well.

    Love, Tom B.

    Beautiful!!!

    Wow, this is truly beautiful, I love the way you word everything, the imagery is awesome "protecting me from salty tears that threaten the tender spots."
    The form of the poem only enhances the words and their meaning, almost putting the image of teardrops in my mind...

    chime singularly in a duality of whatever it is...

    the softer the curve,
    the less nerve necessary
    to swerve into oncoming light.

    "hold me, love me"... such a soft sigh it is, yet some of the most powerful words in the world...the ache for belonging.. This is lovely, Mel...good to read you again.
