face to face

~ ionwhitepoetry2

I was walking the road to destiny
I walked towards a flood of love
I was walking the path of healing;
I met my love as he waited in the
morning mist, Edelweiss bouquet
in hand, petals drying beneath the sun

I was walking the high road to him
the Angelus ringing out from the chapel
bell tower below, I was walking with
a light step, feverish dreams reaching
inside my aching heart as I walk
I am the rolling hull, I am the wild
oat in his field the perfect product
of his cultivating, I am a furtive joy
and a smile, my soul breaks through
all darkness, even the darkness of
his love’s great light, I am pale
sunset of sighs and hard memories,

I am his misty future and vain
repentance, his painful sunrise of
glorious love, of worry, of weariness
begging for leniency

He is an outlaw, his word is my beatitude,
inside his love I keep vigil, I am the high
beacon of shattered strength, I am his oar to
shore, I am sulky of his disdainful
desires, yet my kisses carry the bite
of utter submission, I am the ancient
rock, the spirit of reincarnated ancestors
I am the eyes of the life beyond, I am
faithful to his most absolute demand

  1. This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your words, it’s too often that things go unsaid because we’re withdrawn.

    I look forward to reading more of your gabs, too. They ultimately brought me here.

    I look forward to reading more of your work on gab, too, it’s what ultimately brought me here after all.

  3. I’m really sorry for posting twice, WordPress did a thing, I logged into this account, it did another thing, I typed an approximation of my previous response … and here we go, a third, to apologise for the second.
