Union

Union 


In these ephemeral connections of branch to trunk 
twigs to the streams of leaf and leaves to air partake

On the petaled opening flower in tinted teased naked hues
dripping such savage shades within fire buds

In dawning as the sun tingled with a planets quiet breathing
the calm lucidity of sultry undertone hushed augur of night 

In the bell chimed ring replying to skylarks winging proclamations 
alarms quick and open calls to fields of incessant yearning 

Within the crashing waves and seething currents dangers
Against the commiseration of rocks should fall hearts broken

Yes; even with these the never ending march of days
and yes; even in the dizzy clouds thunderous applauding
and the crackled fire of my ever gasp wondered lightning 

With feathers

With the eyes of Valentino 
and with the hands of children

With passion

I feel you 

My love

A lot of nature here, while soudning ever so mystical. I understand how this broadens one's perspective, and a vivid picture that transcends our existance. Thanks. Jan

The tying of emotion to things is a great poetic device, that really forces itself on the reader. This is done so well in this and it helps to push the narrative to its denouement. The structure is great. the intrusion of the trioc and then the abandonment of the couplet structure adds much to the last lines. The approach is unusual, but all the better for it.
