Face to Face: Within

Time swirls above me 
in the dead of coldest night,
when the witching hour brings you 
in copper cloud's delight,

So I can feel you moving, 
touch the quivers of my skin,
bursting through the cascades
of the naked storm within

Rushing you inside me
pushing deeper,
deeper in,
tasting salt in tongues
when the droplets cleave the wind

And the boundaries
cease between us:
dissolve where sweat begins.
Torrents sweep in waves
coursing through the joining Syn

Face to face we rise
from the pipes of Pan
within
breathing mist together
as the bird songs wreathe
a ring
of foliage and of flowers
around ancient stones
and altars,

Where all the others leave us
their carrion
in the garbage,
we take Raven with us
and soar 
above the bloodlines,
the glisten of the kin

Raising new horizons,
we feel the morning spin,
hatching suns beneath us
in the shadow of our wings,
un-folding life together,
ten-folding on forever ...
and ever ... 

Within.

    I remember this poem very well. If anything, I enjoy it even more now than before....and I loved this poem right from the 1st read -- a real gem from beginning to end....and back to the beginning again. The theme and imagery are absolutely superb.

    Chris and I are not the same person...if that is what you are insinuating, The Situation.

    A symphony of sounds and images, suggestive and celebratory...I liked this a lot. Good work.
