Undamaged Devotion -

Half eaten hearts
pump on three surviving parts,
Loyalty, Lust, and Longing,
thump thump thump,

I was your secret crush
you were my finest rush,
put Poetry in my veins like victory ongoing,
placed your loneliness in a casket of flames,
our language so lustful, demolishing civilized chains,
touching so trustful that asking permission would be aweful,
team work more natural than rhythm to rhyme, a new breed of Angel,
clutching uncharted romance rough & rude we jump,

Strange how we sew, rip and stich the fabric of our worlds,
I can see your constellation in my dreams Luv,
a glimmer for every kiss you clamped on my confident lips,
I told you that my love can be the richest food on earth,
I understand now, that your love is stronger than diamonds,
I already miss you more than my heart can count,
my tears do not fall, suspended in the lock of a love saga,

Lets split the loot babe,
parchments & prizes of Love's plunder we'll divide fairly,
raise up anchors from Passion's Port,
slap and smother each other one more time,
blow on pearls together,
throwing them in this tempestuous sea for Luck,
breathing honest devotion in your ear,
whenever you need me I'll be there,
flag flying fast to you, cannons cursing for your care,
your final stare, the softest I've ever seen  -

J.A.B.

Not only are your writes...intriguing, but so are you responses to posts! :) Wow. I would go and tell you which lines moved me...but I see some others have beat me to it! This is just so rich...every line, a treasure. Unusual grouping of words at times...yet, that's what makes it catching....cannons cursing for your care...Dividing of loot...Intriguing. Good one, Justin. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Glad you noticed the word pairings Eileen, good eye. I love engineering words intricately to express my deepest feelings. In a certain sense the words are my soul's laborers, but only because I believe in the spirit of the words themselves, a partnetship of sorts. The loot of Love's plunder, garunteed to be intriguing!Thanks so much. J.A.B.

Loyalty, Lust, and Longing, and the beat goes on... Thump thump thump, Justin, you eat and write from the finest. With the richness no other can compare to. A crush, and a rush, what more could these two hearts want. You end the poem, well. You know what they say, diamonds are forever! After reading the line above. --Love is stronger than diamonds-- I like the meaning of this and how it goes past a connotation of going beyond time. This is a beautiful write, flags flying high. xox~ LINDA

Indeed I do my Sphinx! My Luv is a most unusual woman; we have a harmony of the highest hunger. Her diamond was discovered in the smoldering mines of my heart, the biggest and most shimmering ever found therein, priceless. J.A.B.

Yes, to rest on the calm air of love fair. Partners in a paradise of play, recounting they're treasures, saying goodbye, but not saying never again. Thank you Teresa. J.A.B.

This poem blew me away, Justin... amazing piece with such raw honesty and love. That's where the words should rest--straight from the heart and into the light and eyes of others. There are too many memorable lines for me to choose from.. <3 Always, Laura

Raw honesty and love is what was given, no regrets, the roots grow deep, and wiil not die, and the Future remains open. Your words comfort me Laura, reassuring me that my style is true. J.A.B.
