Of Love’s wilderness

Green foliage

Covering the ground

Seeking eye

Now spellbound

I breathe in the summer’s dew

Seasons brought anew

 

Clouds gather

High above in skies

They rumble

With the seed

Of water mingling with salt

Life breeds a new creed

 

Falling rain

Shimmering raindrops

On my head

They sparkle

They point to a new cycle

Of Love’s wilderness

Music set

Melodies thriving

In my blood

As they flood

The synapses of my brain

Through journey in ear

 

Parting point

Rhythm now disjoint

Like my knees

As they ease

Into postures of dances

Of my wild prances

 

Summer slow

Eases into spring

Daffodils

On the hills

Where I hear your echo ring

Rumbling in my heart

Only you come forth

I know not

Spelling of distress

No more now

I Know how

I am no longer mistress

Of my own heart’s vow

 

A new leaf

Forgotten the grief

I packed bags

Gathered rags

Elevated to riches

From the keen stitches

 

Soul mended

Intention set North

I abide

By my rules

I will bow not to the fools

Only you come forth

The rancour

Now melting away

Mind knows night

Heart knows day

The soul in between to sway

Springtime steps astray

 

Summer bloom

Moves springtime too soon

Into past

None to last

Watching bearded chin to groom

Lost in the whiskers

 

Hidden fruit

Shielded from the eye

In darkness

Your lips curl

Fleshy taste of strawberry

I unearth slowly

Look closely

There are worlds twirling

Within eyes

Behold sighs

Of the soul resurfacing

Heart to mind clinging

 

I own books

They speak of strange love

Of a dove

Turned eagle

Flying high above mountains

Freedom reacquired

 

Question me

My answers are ripe

With the juice

Of my fate

I have forgotten to hate

Love only wisdom

Breathe within

My heart’s mysteries

Dialog

Suspended

The inner chambers obtuse

Clues to mind ended

 

Raise me steep

On cliffs of morrows

Relinquish

Powers urge

Fail to keep the very surge

Of my bosom’s fate

 

Hone me slate

Teachers to translate

The lesson

Memory

When I was a lonesome child

My heart blue and wild

I fly high

Within bosom spread

My wings soar

Ever more

I am a kite in the sky

Through the clouds I fly

 

Nothing lasts

The hurt now swallowed

Deep within

We wallowed

Sunshine then struck off the pain

Shining through the rain

 

April’s crops

Showering raindrops

Summer’s hay

To follow

As we dance on the rooftops

Listening to May

For life a tingle

You ran on

Like an untamed horse

Kicking off

The saddle

Only thing left to cradle

Emptiness within

 

Breathing in

I will fill myself

With moments

That lasted

Within lungs filled with your taste

I draw in with haste

 

Unknown zest

For life a tingle

Within me

Deep hidden

Death and life as they mingle

They bring to soul rest

The worded

Intentions that creep

Permeate

Nocturnal

My skin as they strike so deep

Within my chambers

 

I reply

In silent whispers

Wild at heart

I resist

The tame and familiar shore

That they have in store

 

I face it

Millenium stares

Into me

As I flee

The rhapsody beckoning

My heart in a sling

The wolves are calling

Uprising

From a place of peace

The lambs stray

None to fleece

Tidings set to opposite

Where we and they sit

 

The mighty

Fearful of the weak

Imbalance

Will come forth

We hail them the future times

Hidden in my rhymes

 

Hark listen

The wolves are calling

I hear them

Prowling on

Within my head I respond

My kindred freedom
