FOR YOU, MY ARRESTING AUTUMN EYES(M.A.K.)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #21

welcome!

cries

such triumphant recognition

so blessedly golden

shines my mind

how you bustle about

just to kiss

my every moment's new day

with your warm

glittering awareness

reopened

oh at last

is this once gaunt

withdrawn refugee

from your mailbox

fed so fully now is she

sentimentally sated

starting first

with the wanting chambers

of my former miserly soul

why you breath in my very wishes

and make them your very own

as you linger to embrace my disbelief

I dance so strangely shocked

still quite agape

that I am almost high on my own

amazed amusement

quite willing though to languish in

your enveloping surge of such

swellingly sweet and so very precious

heart's heated light

fairly fractured now old ideas

of poetry

manage to mature

to weave further strength

throughout the lines and seemingly

endless pages

I've so too, grown

from the lending bloom to such

gathering greenery

gathering all the while about me

without my having any such prior

related knowledge

what an amazingly so loving gift

such generous, gay, gentle greenery

growing it would seem everywhere

I even unconsciously peer

so guilelessly graceful

such color sways undaunted

upon this infinite hill of keenly

reinvested time

the captor it seems has swiftly taken

on the role of the captive

and his sea softly beckons the suddenly

sweetened breath of the balmy breeze

breathlessly begging it

please!

take me up and up

into the wide open arms of those

marvelous trees ahead

let me drink in the joy

why, such tremble touches my startled

knees

as so very misty now I feels I

as for so shall be

such bandaged by and by

for once there

we too love free

that where ever they be

such beautiful bark, branch, roots

and leaves

all blending gently into each the

other's susceptible will

close your arresting autumn eyes now

M.A.K.

and with your spirit choose to see

such glorious stainless illumination

crowding out the trivial

as she considerately sweeps

away at the cluttered floors of grief

and tirelessly scours the mutually

shattered windows of the formerly felt

feelings of such dire disconnection

know that

among all that senseless waste

and debris left by a thoughtless

society

here

in all my former esteem

(and then some)

I stand

even more so now stripped bare

before you

no longer just an inmate in your mind

cowering among the handful of far too

confusing dreams

but just me

quite alive indeed

and so very soundly real

your Miel

just as you named me such

(sweet)

fresh

just now

from an even fresher bath

of such immodest jubilee

quite ready

rather willing in fact

once again

to start rocking your

reality

the gladness in my heart

could never fully reveal

how so very truly thankful

I am

that you never allowed yourself

to marry

after all

such an undeserving she.............
