MY HEART SPEAKS...
I am a palatial home mooning
over you
I'm built with gems from Egypt
To be dwelled by you --- Love
incarnate
On my walls are your effigy,
tableau
With an effective Bienvenue
inscribed as u reappeared.
You are revered an emblem of
peace in me,
Build in me blue turqoise, emerald
green, topaz, medallion...
Spatter your tears on me to
ressurrect my verdant desire
Doting on your absence.
Unbreakable I will remain for you,
until ur return from exile.
Unfissured I exist for you,
Inhabit me,
Rift your way into me.
Lest stillborn I am, infuse me with
life.
I cherish your bright ingress into
me even when my eyes see u not.
Splinter me into a thousand pieces,
yet immortal I yearn.
For you I live on...
The breath of my life... LOVE YOU
A Plea For Love
My chest is a toomb
for my broken heart,
Covered by dust in every part...
in blankets, made not by a loom,
Smothered in the dark.
Tangled webs of mist
haunt this vacant grave
with echos from a reckless knave
Regailing some heroic list
Pity cannot save.
Is there not a rose
For this heart to beat
of petals soft and smell so sweet
To open up what death did close...
Ressurrect...Complete...?
