she rose from my ashes

She rose from my ashes;

      Cleansed me,

            Failing not to remove all fear.

 

Her hand touching through the walls of my flesh made clear…

 

I saw her eye diamond star leap from my mind and with reproach did not falter,

      blinking once before returning to the Heavens.

 

My eyes once shadowed and red, pierced intentionally;

      Cradled her thoughts and moistened on her lips,

            Found peace in her solitude and wisdom about her air.

 

She dove from my high cliffs

      And swam beneath my sea,

And forever mining the warm stones in her heart,

I embrace her and offer one eternal promise…

 

To keep my love in her arms and wrapped ‘round her tightly

      Bowing never only slightly glancing into the deep brown

Of her eyes, only pausing to breathe on the soft of her neck,

To be lost in her kiss, swimming past her breakers, and losing nothing in her depths.

No escaping the reality of life...but here I can at least feel the serenity of want. Namaste X...

Just here, on this dreary day. Snuggled up in a chair, blanket wrapped. I'm wandering through souls, enjoying memories, peeking in windows..an hour of serenity.

'She' could be a person or a place it seems, very touching and beautiful either way. Lots of depth in this amazing piece of poetry.

Amazing description took reader to private place and thoughts.
"She dove from my high cliffs
And swam beneath my sea,
And forever mining the warm stones in her heart,
