Testimony As Truth -

What's the purpose of these tears...
They are the testimony of my heart's truth...
Testimony is not purpose,
it's a telling of trauma teaching,
what has taught your heart 
these priceless tears...
The teacher of my heart is love relentless...
Who is this love teacher...
My soul~flame, Inamorato of pulse tornado,
the love leader of my poetry...
How has he led your life
into the battlefields of love heroic...
He lifted me from longing 
into a kiss of belonging...
How was he able to achieve 
this romantic rescue...
He judged not my jealousies,
held me when the night spoke of sin,
when my demons dared to drag me 
my phoenix Inamorato immolated them
with a voice of victorious thiunder,
and his technique of touch
a passion revolutionary...
What makes your hero lover a phoenix...
He has survived the conflict 
of Time and competition,
he has defied distance 
and collapsing dreams,
his heart has continued to listen
to my lips
as they have spelled his soul 
with endless ink...
Is this phoenix in your possession...
We possess one another dire,
He will fail without Me,
and I will die without him...
Toy mentioned a love song
that only you and he sing, please share...

Melt my tears into your sweet fire...
Drip your tears onto the lick of my fire...
Take my tears into your raw fire...
Spill your tears into the warm hands 
of my fire...
Convert my tears into catharsis...
Smolder me with love tear spirit...
Take my tears into Time's curse...
Rain your love diamond water
into my open mouth...
Save Us from Death's envy
of love immortality...

J.A.B.

"his heart has continued to listen to my lips" only few are real listeners. Its important ~ to listen to whats spoken and also whats said in silence! I think and know somehow you feel and understand both! Whats said and unsaid! Your words inspire me! You breathe poetry Like you dont try ~ it comes naturally, because you romanticize everything you read and see around you ~ You are an inspiration I admire you Sending you light always 🌹 💎 🌹

To listen is to teach, and to teach is to learn, and love. Your psychological acumen is so appealing beautiful Poetess. As long as we feel, we are real, and natural our ways and works...

One who would convert tears into catharsis, one who would hold the tears, taste every truth, and turn them into poetry, a thunderous voice that is protective and nurturing. This poem moved me... "He will fail without Me, and I will die without him..." the intensity is just soul stirring, "He lifted me from longing into a kiss of belonging..." so heart warming and beautiful! I love the whole essence of this true testament of love devotion and commitment. Its rare and precious My dear Justin 💫

You've quoted my favorite line in this poem and I appreciate that Poetess. If two people are not strengthening one another in a relationship then the love is not the foundation, companionship is not achieved...J.A.B.

To have tears felt on such a deep level is just a blessing dear Justin. I love the way you used my prompts, each one, not to compete with anyone but because they inspired you, not for my contest, but because they resonate with you. Thats what a heart that is truly poetic would show through actions ~ this is beautiful. It was a bit shocking. To read ~ you touch love through the eyes of another... as it shows your empathy. And the sincerity of your feelings. I think we all long for a phoenix ~

To be in love to be reborn in many ways Poetess. I've always admired how you, through your poetry balance sensitivity and wisdom, along with masterful style. Empathetic poetry is cathartic, and impassioning just like love that is realized empatheticly...J.A.B.
