HEART OF MY LOVE!!!

(Dedicated to my dear friend Amanda “acushla” Lima)

LISTEN to the silence of the night,

let it sooth you; sibilant whisper of its secrets breathed upon the sigh of the wind,

feel the billow as it fills the sails of a ship built of light...

built of emotions running high to traverse an ocean of darkness,

to sail through this storm of intent and brave the becalmed promises left to echo in the void of my soul,

cast adrift to drown in uncertainty,

yet kept afloat by a glimmer which is hope...

whisper of the wind funnelled into the earthly manifestation of faith...

Faith; a fount of mystery that cannot be seen,

cannot be touched,

but that surely must exist,

like love -defined emotion of consummate power,

remaining hidden until the heart is given sight with which to embrace it,

for even through the pain it of’times brings,

love like knowledge is better for touching,

better for feeling,

better for knowing, than living in ignorance...

So allow me to puzzle through the lock which is your heart,

piece by piece take it apart to find the secrets stored within

-the hot searing heat of your love-

- the slow caressing embrace of your touch-

- the sensual rhythms of your dreams-

dreams which sparks a keening note of hunger throughout my heart...

Let me be the key which opens your heart,

the intent which invest your soul in a burst of savoury colours,

a kaleidoscope of tastes spinning along the weft of your spirit,

senses billowing,

snapped taut by the howling wind of my fervour,

a rising gale of kindled passions,

for you are my joy and my serenity,

joy of the day; a golden ray of sunlight caught within my heart,

serenity of the night; grace of argent moonbeams like cast enchantments,

blossoming within my soul...

THE vibrant lustre of your beauty is lit from within,

lit by an effervescence of joy which tracks it's way like a winding river,

to find a home at rest within my heart,

that vibrancy; ardent flare of stately grace… evocative simplicity,

an eloquent touch which caresses my soul,

it calls to me,

sings an hypnotic chord of radiance, roosting like a dove within my heart...

Your regard is as a robe of soft sensuality,

embracing me in the silken caress of your elegant grace,

for it is within you to temper the steel rod of my love,

within the beating treasure which is your heart,

for there is a power in your touch,

a power akin to the golden bright wonder of the sun, that reaches beyond the dictates of the flesh,

reaches beyond the hungry kisses and the sweat-slicked cries of passion,

reaches beyond spirited desire and the heart pounding fragrance of sweet arousal...

It reaches beyond the known and opens like a revelation-

a blossoming rose of adulation- at the center of the stream of time,

that there is great contentment to be found in love,

and joy in the sharing...

in gifting your heart to another...

A certain magic there is in this miracle called love,

a miracle that refreshes,

makes the world brighter,

sharpens the mind and breathes life into the spirit of the soul...

YOUR love is a vessel of purity,

it embraces with the sonorous effervescence of euphonious sound,

it is a song of warmth embracing my heart,

a sense of imminence quickening my soul as you look into the liquid depths of my warm brown eyes,

lost in the power;

lost within the cadent flow of your searing solicitude,

heart filled with happiness at the patent joy evinced in the shining laughter of your beauty,

the eloquence of her smile

-radiant glory-

as it burns a path of pleasure to my heart...

I am uplifted,

a feeling of wonder embracing my heart,

lifted by the luminous grace of your touch,

I feel the blossoming flower of truth opening its rosy petals within my soul,

feel the spirit of light; a twisting rainbow corona stretching forth in perpetuity between you and me,

feel the burgeoning growth of warmth spreading its roots throughout my body,

spiritual ardour wedded to the seductive intimacies of the flesh,

it lies rooted in the fertile soil of my soul,

flowering to life within the sensual bower of my heart,

bearing the ripe sweet fruit of our love,

from two into one indivisible, soul-touched heart to heart...

LOVE is like a glimmer of hope; a light-

offered to alleviate the darkened threshold of the night,

it stirs the heart with a promise,

a miraculous weaving of grace and desire,

of passion and wonder,

the appeal of a sensual beauty dancing in the wind of my fervour...

A beauty that glows,

rapturous eyes which beckons; an enchanted portal,

overflowing with the luminesce of your spirit,

a sorceress with threads of glamour trailing from your soul,

ropes of enchantment driven by the will of her heart,

a summoning to draw me into the warmth of her embrace,

and I,

as a river flowing like liquid gold before the breath of your passion,

the scale of your belief carrying the breadth,

the scope of my faith,

to pull me from this waking darkness to walk with you within a dream of spun light,

where the stars are a shining glory,

ringing us within the celestial song of a night pregnant with hope,

carried on the sweet taste of your love...

THOUGHTS of you cause smiles to spring eternal upon my lips, laughter...

a rain of sunshine pouring its incandescent light into my soul,

like a slit; a break in this wall of darkness called the night,

to let slip through the rising ardour of my desire,

my dreams a constant,

rich with the golden spirit of your beauty,

your lips holding the soft seductive blush of a flowering rose,

your smile, a voluptuous touch of wonder caressing my soul-

with the exalting kiss of your affections,

You are as lovely as the glistening jewels which grace the tenuous fabric of the night sky,

the stars a fitting counterpoint to the breathtaking enticement of your elegance and charm...

the fantasy of my heart; a dream touched of a beauty which smoulders,

kindled by the radiant glow… the exquisite glamour of your pulchritude,

rising like a silken chorus of ravishing temptation,

to assail the walls I've built up about my heart,

glowing with a sensuous light,

provocative...

the fires of your allure,

the gentle warmth of your regard flickering iridescently,

tiny motes of stars birthed from the captivating nexus of your eyes...

My inamorata,

suffused with the blazing fire of my amore,

glowing with a refined taste sweet upon the tongue of my passions,

you charm me with evocative silences,

… as the whispered flow of your voice enchants,

soothes with the peace held in your soul,

… as you fire the tumescent rise of my desire,

lush with the sybaritic appetites of the earth,

you spin moonlight of seduction upon the fervid heart of my spirit,

you pull me into the pulsing womb of your soul,

smooth as the velvet lining of a glove,

sweet the ecstatic rapture of your embrace,

succulent the touch of your essence…

as our lips lock in an ardent kiss...

My love,

remember that as long as I am,

so too are you,

for as my heart beats,

know that it beats for you,

the weft of my soul sewn upon the loom of your heart!!!
