the magic
your voice
so obviously sincere
concern
in such tenderly enfolded waves
gently lapping at
my before unshaded shore
almost scorchedly frozen now by
too much harsh unforgiving heat
countered only
by an even darker coldness
with no in between
to balance out the extremity of
the two
then your immense waves and shade
came
to envelope the raw need in me
that was always there
reaching........ever hopeful....
such constant isolation in me
why it need no more
be so painstakingly concealed
let the bitterness rot itself
into naught
as this love is LOVE
in the truest sense
even when still from afar
sometimes I think I called
to you way before today
and somehow
long ago you unknowingly heard
my cry
and innately prepared your soul
a path
to lead your own wounded self to me
perhaps my fanciful imagination has
indeed kidnapped all acceptable
good sense
if you feel thus so
then kindly disregard my hasty words
but for me
the moment FINALLY came
where my heart is free
to accept and express
this quite remarkable though
fledgling love I have for you
know that I am bird to your marvelous
sky
and you sky for my harmless little bird
to soar free
our home shall be in the hearts of each-
other's most forgiving nirvana
a breathless grace
born of two thought to be forgotten
Phoenix's earned happiness and joy
allowed alas
to simply blend and be
ONE imperfectly perfect LOVE
so this is my heart's token
and soul's pledge to you
my dearest sir
a deeply shattered
but OH so carefully healing me
for,
my darling
it is WRITTEN IN THE RAIN!!!!!
