Trespass

I see you now as I should’ve then:
An oasis, solitary in this sub-urban Sahara
nourished by the Breath of God, where
Angels grow and flowers sing

(You see? Even here I twist my words
for you, becoming incomprehensible
in my telling you how)

here I am at last, here to tend to
the flowers of your smile.
Here I am at last, here to rest easy in the peace
of the Breath of God and
your voice.

Here I am at last, here to welcome that
oft-envied Blue-Jay,

She who perches so precariously on the
rain-dampened willows of your eyes

She, who dares
trespass into the barbed-wire boundaries
of my heart, who dares to sing her
ethereal song

Only to find that she’s been home,
all along.

Author notes

This is actually a very personal poem to me; it's the first work I wrote for my girlfriend, the love of my life

    Beautiful and peaceful, and I loved the flow and bit of humor at the beginning. Whoever was the receiver of this piece is one lucky person. I would be awed and woo'd beyond imagination to have such a gift given to me. Thank you for entering.

    I like this.

    "Even here I twist my words
    for you, becoming incomprehensible
    in my telling you how"

    'barbed-wire boundaries'

    you have some really nice imagery.

    This makes me sad, because it's such a very pretty (excuse the metaphor) stained glass window that reality will shatter.
