Canticle To the Stars



         



                  



                  Canticle to the Stars


I cannot forget you, love, anymore than to breathe.
And when my breath is its very last, I beg God's
forbearance, please.
To bind me to you, in lovely, fragrant gardenias,
tenderly, divinely tethered.
Somewhere...we, shining with the blinding, brilliance 
of peacock feathers.


Watching our progeny on earth still living joyfully,
serenely on God's earth.
Those living memories of our making love, we populated it, 
with sensuous mirth.
Oh, just to create one more child, is my fondest wish.
Come to me now, softly with a brush of your delicious, 
intoxicating yet oh, so holy, soft lips.....

Panagiota, this is wistful and romantic in just the right measures. Loved the line "To bind me to you, in lovely, fragrant gardenias, tenderly, divinely tethered" and the amazing joy of seeing progeny grow into their own potential. So lovely.
