Jessica Goldstone Poet I do not know?

In the Sun the Moon the Stars

I do not trust my form,
to act as an adequate vehicle to carry my Love for You.
It aches with decadence and decomposition.

Skins cells flake in exhaustion,
Hair follicles abort out of fatigue
Finger nails and toes nails crack , peel and tear.             

Bones creak in warning,
Muscles retreat in lethargy 
Skin hangs, falls and sags.

So I place my Love in the sun,
the moon,
the stars,
the grass,
the leaves.

So that I may continue to adore you in everything,
with everything.

Debra Squyres January 12, 2013 at 2:47 PM I too found a sense of longing to share a love in this poem. Perhaps a tinge of fear also within the lines... Love hinges on acceptance..
