Love Glimmer -

I've been listening to your eyes for what feels like eons, noticing how the rain cries unto your purposeful lips, excited also, by the sounds of your beautiful breaths in the smooth sunlight, Tapping the pool of love blood, rippling rose restless to the edge of a frozen bloom where the youth of our love wonder stood, speaking to one another through playful madness, tempting tragedy to resume so to confess innocence in the fire flood of the raw poetry pulsing in divine mood, I find you in the fragrance of warm faith and your eyes sing of sorrow unsold to sin, palmprints upon our hearts bespeak a dangerous heat that says love born of longing will never be safe, for a moment we rue what's true about heartbeats lonely and thin, You pull me within a hue of genius and clue of spirit discrete revealing a teaching of soul engineering where the meaning of living is loving the bleeding of pure beauty fleeting - J.A.B. 02-19-2025

Stunning, inspired to flicker back: Flicker Back I read the language of your flame in whispers the world never taught me where every breath leaves ash on the soul and love glows just before it burns. You speak in storms, in echoes of rose and ruin, where every pulse is both prayer and dare, and I find myself not lost, but undone. The beauty is brutal, but oh, how it sings this art of bleeding bright beneath a twilight of truths too tender for silence. I don’t fear the flicker, I answer it.

The phantasmagoria of your flicker is a gallery of gemstones on the pulsing walls of my intellect Alesia...Justin

This is such a soul stirring poem dear justin, I wrote for your contest too inspired by the line, its a very evocative line, and youv written so well for your own prompt. I love especially the line “ and your eyes sing of sorrow unsold to sin,” that speaks volumes, the sacredness of seeing beyond and the innocence that floats within, how well youv depicted! This is truly a very touching poem and i love your assonance and alliterations! You do them very well! Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always

Instant fav here!!! - I've always been in love with your words, Justin - your mind, the way you sense, feel along the lines. I'm still reeling as I write this, my mind spinning. "so to confess innocence in the fire flood of the raw poetry pulsing in divine mood," Gorgeous lines - brilliantly divine light-inducing piece. I also love "love born of longing will never be safe". - ahh Justin - you are so good at the "soul engineering." Always, Laura
