From Which We Rise

Come into these arms,

rest upon my chest where our breaths can merge,

as one,

we breathe in life,

exhaling the pleasure,

of being,

so close.....

Woody scents and sweet love hues,

an aura lit of blues,

turns red and fiery smoldering,

burning at both ends....

Touches magnify senses,

beyond the norm,

we ascend.

Keep climbing, my love,

God's reminder,

lie in promises.

At each rainbows appearance, 

rendered by streaks of Sun light,

to keep us safe,

from floods the that offer to wash us away into the night.

But as the fire within us burns,

never fear the night,

for I am yours and,

you are mine,

our Phoenix souls ignite....

Blue and Red turn into the passion of Purple. Nice write as always Priscilla. Who needs "Fifty Shades"? We have Priscilla.

[Priscilla Sayers]

Love to you!!!!
Thank you:)

You have created a beautiful journey of love that begins with the physical and moves to the spiritual and finally joins the two. I believe I think as you do that love can become spiritual ... a bond between two souls who join unselfishly together ... and together know no fear. Beautiful work once again.

[Priscilla Sayers]

Thank you with all my heart Cilla. I love your beautiful insight and intelligence!

[TheSweet]

Fiery poetry, all fantastical. Do love the ending line - though wondering if Phoenix is a metaphor of love that will always be reborn. In which, there's certainly much to be questioned here. Overall, Tis poem to be admired :) thanks muchly!

[Priscilla Sayers]

Thank you dear Sweet! I feel honored by your reviews. With all my heart!

A beautiful poem.. as always.. there are a couple of places I stumbled a bit.. perhaps I am just not reading it as you intended.. at the bottom of three.. "God's reminder.. lie in promises" and in four.. "from floods the that offer"

[Priscilla Sayers]

The second line was a typo there shouldn't be a the before that:)
"God's reminder, lie in promises..." Means as the rainbow is a reminder that the lord promised He will never again flood the Earth and destroy all men, because of Noah..... The rainbow being the symbol of the promises God makes, He will always keep.:)

[Priscilla Sayers]

Thank you so much. I don't know if that makes any more sense to you. but I can go into it further if you'd like. It is always a pleasure to let someone know in plain words without the riddle of the poem where your thoughts were going. Thank you so much, sweet Olla!

[olla]

yes.. I did get your intent correct but wonder if "LIE" is what you ment or if perhaps "Lay" is the correct word in this instance.. either way.. I bow to your license as the author to use which ever you choose....

it is still an outstanding write.. and a damn good read..

[Priscilla Sayers]

Lie, a play on words and kindof like..."what lies beyond" Ya know:) But I do see your point...XX P

[Dream Weaver]
