"The Dream" ~ Writers Island
The cool gold
of your wedding ring
inscribed with our names,
my name,
in the space
of your heart,
your love whispered
as we descend into deep waters…
I am filled with you,
my heart
is full of you,
my passion
carries me over
and over
rolling waves of your heat,
of holding your sweet face
in my hands,
of your lips
burning
tender upon mine…
I take all of you,
hand over hand,
climbing the scaffolding
till we reach into each other
filling ourselves
with the longing of my love
since I first desired you…
“Courageous”
you say,
“you must be courageous…”
I wake
with your voice echoing...
I see
bronze starlight
in velvet black,
solar system born
beneath
the layers of my sleep
where I find you
reaching for me
again and again…

Lea, this is beautifully written. The picture had me mesmerized, the wedding band perfectly in focus and the background, blury and inconsequential; as it should be!!

Beautiful!
I love specially :
“Courageous”
you say,
“you must be courageous…” within this poem is so poignant!

These lines are gorgeous:
I see
bronze starlight
in velvet black,
solar system born
beneath
the layers of my sleep
where I find you
reaching for me
again and again…

Lea,
After reading this beautiful piece and reading about Gillians dream, I either have to change my diet or put something beautiful under my pillow.
Your past few posts are gorgeous. What a wonderful
life!!
