A Dowry of Dreams

Dreams are approaching my Love
following the stars to your heart,
beside your body I breathe and gaurd your lips 
the sentinel of your stellar song, the heat along your lyrics
listening to your language of smooth beauty unfurling lunar fabrics
wasting all the wrong that reaches for your innocence,
demons dare not the sharp sheen of my devoted dagger,
death will not tresspass within the life of your love,

There is a sweet ancient spirit in you
born from the sun and salt of sorrow and seduction
a sad nobility that fights for fragile kisses, to uplift the underworld,
bring the drum beats of savage, hot lights into focus on the firmament
hush the stars that wait softly for sweating bodies of fire  -

J.A.B.

Maurice Yvonne Date: 3/25/2015 3:42:00 AM I am sorry Justin I was using the phrase "Steal a woman's heart" in its figurative meaning not its literate meaning. I followed it with words that in their essence I believe meant the same as your own interpretation. I thought your poem quite brilliant. The last thing I was trying to do was to offend you. I am so sorry if you found my wording careless. I will be more careful in the future. I have the upmost respect and love for everyone. Lots Of Love, Armand.

Eileen Manassian Date: 3/22/2015 2:04:00 AM To protect the one you love is a beautiful and noble thing to do, Justin. The stars will hush for bodies that can be together...without boundaries or restrictions. Love is to be celebrated in full and not in part. A passionate piece... Login to Reply Justin Bordner Date: 3/22/2015 8:22:00 PM You are right Eileen, love not establish limits, love must provide a liberty for hearts, a freedom to realize what they need for happiness and productivity, and then to defend that love with indefatigable passion. I glad my poem spurred your heart to express it's beautiful wisdom...J.A.B.
