My Strand of Pearls 1
I have waded through the rivers of eternity
I have sailed ships on the seas of time
For the exquisite pleasure of pressing my lips to your ear
So that you could finally hear…
The ROARING of my soul
I have hitched rides on meteor showers
Stolen milliseconds during dreary hours
Laid bare bottomed on blackened words
Just for that one passing moment when you joyfully heard…
My HEART
Yell, tell, expel, ProPEL
My every breath belongs to you
Your eyes…only your eyes, that have no color or hue
They are open scepters of fine wine
Flowing freely from all that is you
I drink every last drop, even the splash upon my lip
Anticipating the next happenstance glance
Where I can lazily tip and joyfully sip
The savory substance of your longing for me
Run with me, my love
Let us leave behind wind and all constraints of time
Flow with me and flick off the frames
That prevent you from being mine
Feel the rich, bold, paint running ahead
Showing us what living and loving has said
Experience the gush of your soul
Rushing to express what it’s come to know
Be still, my beloved, let me know you
Let me view you in the purity of light
I haven’t eyes to judge
Only the perspective of faith in the darkest night
What is this? Fear and Shame…
That gathers the curtain around your soul
Who has left you unopened and unexplored?
Who dares to tempt your longing
Bind your revealing
To know you …no…more….
