Untouchable


I have watched you from a distance
conversed with you through poetry
written sonnets and ballads to you
my untouched love...

I have met you in the dreamscape
conversing with words from the heart
our story, our song remains a mystery
my UN-touchable love…

Storms


I was born during the year’s biggest snowstorm
my mother said it was a miracle, I survived
weighing in at 5lbs, I fought to stay warm

Made love for the first time during a thunderstorm
in a loft under a skylight, flashes of lightning
learning the art of poetry in free form

I wanna know what love is…
I want you to show me…

Sometimes all I feel is the rain
Searching for life’s gentle refrain

I sailed on a boat of dreams during windstorms
navigating my way through treacherous waters
in the darkest moment, seeking a piece of norm

Made love with words during a poetic storm
you and I were doomed, a beautiful disaster
love has the power to overcome and transform

Have we forgotten what love is
I want you to tell me…

Sometimes all I feel is the rain
Searching for life’s gentle refrain

 


 

 Author's note:  I was inspired reading a poem yesterday by Brendan
so this is a wip....working through it...
