Justin Bordner Poet Epic

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 March 25, 2015 at 3:42 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. Justin Bordner March 26, 2015 at 2:47 AM No worries Brother Armand...strength and love prevail. You have the strength of a lion, I thank you for your grace. J.A.B.

Richard Lamoureux March 24, 2015 at 7:01 AM You have a gift of seeing the embodiment of a woman's essence. This is a rare gift especially when expressed by one as talented as you are with a pen. Justin Bordner March 24, 2015 at 6:26 PM The quill follows the heart my friend...her essence, a fire on love's alter. Your kindness means alot to me Richard, thank you. J.A.B.

Eileen Manassian March 22, 2015 at 2:04 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... Justin Bordner March 22, 2015 at 8:22 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.
