Smoke On The Black Background by foto76 courtesy of FreeDigitalPhotos.net
You are in my mind
and all around me,
a translucent vapour.
My wreath of obsession.
Encircling,
settling,
consuming.
I want to keep you there:
nested,
within reach.
Until I face my fears
and draw you near.

Images bombard me,
plumes of butterflies
whenever I see
your beautiful face
All day long
The fear evaporated,
obstacles pushed away
knowing the inevitable truth
Drinking in every encounter,
awash with certainty
Breathless with anticipation
I yield.

The energy has shifted,
my defences down,
revealing something of my true self.
Finally.
I am alive when I think of you,
yearning to lay beside you,
listen to the story of your life,
soothed by the lilt of your voice,
transfixed by those amber eyes,
lifted by the strength emanating from you,
protected in a way I have never known before.
You still and awaken me
simultaneously.
I am left powerless,
the allure enveloping,
the endearment of your quiet vulnerability
consuming.
It is only a matter of time
and I no longer wish to run.

I have tried to keep the door shut
but your eyes have wedged it open
Pools of beauty,
drawing me in
I see right through you
My transparency probably equal
My will to run,
to resist,
much greater
Angst about disruption
disorder
chaos
Fear of hurt,
everything that could go wrong
a barricade to all that might be perfect
Yet there is a song in my heart
placed there by you
So whilst the ending is unknown
and the beginning is in question
I cannot deny
that with you
there is a story waiting to be told.

The once fervent grasp
beseeching
searching
has loosened.
Wilted by the sun
drained of vigour
diminished.
The focus turns to self
diffused of anger
infused with peace
bemused at the past.
The predatory pain quashed
leaving my heart free
and my dreams alive.

A candle burns
the flame tapered
as hot as the passion
inscribed on their faces
Lovers cradling hearts
mouths exploring
skin on fire
for the other’s touch
She yields to him
handing over lock and key
her biggest sin
unto herself
Yield, by all means,
but the key …
hoard it
hide it
unless he succumbs wholly
offers everything of himself
for a love that will burn endlessly

The fragrance of freedom
all enveloping
as I sit and absorb
the furls of summer
the fronds of a lightened season
The heavy curtains of winter
drawn back
fixed to let the light in
Windows open
of the mind
of the heart
to evacuate negativity
Its smoky vapours disappearing
chased away
by this welcome chapter
breathing life into long, hazy days

What of these years?
The transference from weak to strong
What of those thoughts?
Lifted from darkness to white light
A puncture of time

distilled sadness
bottled, diluted
evaporated by contentment
That easy feeling of self-love
a cessation of searching
For under every stone
behind every tree
I find myself
My soul staring back at me
life force illuminated
guardian’s wings enveloping
encouraging me forwards

Green Field And Rainbow by Anusorn P nachol courtesy of http://www.freedigitalphotos.net
You left a blueprint on my heart
Taught me what I needed to know,
the qualities I should expect,
how I should be cherished.
It was never meant to be
yet we were linked,
locked,
on another level
from a distant past,
forgotten lives.
You roused my memory,
awoke my heart
and now you are free.
Soar, my love
Angelic lesson
You will leave rainbows in your wake.

Encrypted messages deciphered
Coding unravelled
Polished signs
Sparkling paths
Carpets of wildflowers
Sunbeams
Trailing willow leaves
Shimmering waters
Crystal reflections
Self-reliance
Strength
Love thyself.
