My Silence With You

In silent moments of distilled thoughts,
I see only you – 
Like a ripe moon in the midnight sky,
Your glow repels the darkness.
I sense it – 
Pealing away the distance between us,
And piercing through skin into my veins.
I feel it – 
Filling my flesh with your touch
And flashes of fierce fervor. 
It burns – 
Like stoked metal poised to breach
The frontiers of matter – 
Into a breath of fire
And tears of molten lava. 

My blood absorbs the energy,
Carrying it into every part of my body,
Silently breeding desire
In your absence.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
