You were writing on my retina

You were writing on my retina:
I read you when you spelled my name
in sunlight rays:

"My Sun"

I poured me over you
- good mellow wine -
which fired deep-rooted desire:

"Drink me, Beloved"!

"Why do you ask me that"?
(you sounded slightly mad ...)
"You know you're mine"

Then you left me
in that forgotten goblet
where I lost my taste ...

And now I scribble
Love in sediment
and shame

myra

    ...you were writing on my retina--the title alone is classic!
    the piece just shines with creativeness,
    you have a finesse for expressing deep thought!

    I honestly can't think of anything to say that no one has said already. Brilliant is all I can think of.

    Your work has an aura about it, like that of Rumi's, classical beauty and like all say, great imagery. Thank you for sharing it.
