Love's Willingness

What began as a trickle moved forward into what can never be forgotten
Flying into hearts and souls as faces, with mysteries that unfold
Holding one another in winds conveying what they feel
Falling to fit inside a claim, heaven must uphold

Hands move through walls of water, beckoning want inside two bodies
Moments hold complexities until all thoughts they feel as one
Sighs strip the cloth away, revealing their tomorrows
Paradise comes in waves, loneliness is undone

Storms of contemplation feel life racing to repeat the steps they know
As their fingers dance on unmade plans with places still to go
Gentle touches brush the grounds of want and need
Forward into now, love’s willingness exposed

Shadows of these days will always linger in their souls leaving colors
Surrounding the breezes capturing love’s attention waiting
What once began as a trickle cannot be left behind
Arms outstretched, love’s river anticipating

The masterful use of words you have is so admirable, its genius!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

this has such a pure transformative quality it feels almost like butterfly fragility strengthening with every flex on newly found wings~ it is quite a lovely display of fluidity in the presentaion of language~ I love the dual nuances of becoming self through the presence of encouraging friendship~

Beautiful is on overused word in relation tto your work, but a perfect one. Also erotic and subliminal apply. The words bury themselves into your mind and create images much later in the day as they resurface. They are tactile. This poem exmaplifies it.

An excellent poem. As usual from the celebrated author. Here the metaphors well suits the feelings the poem created in the mind and heart of the reader.
