With the ferocity of gale force
You wrapped around me
Lifting me up and tossing me
Against fears and expectations
Dreams and nightmares unexplored
You whispered in my sleeplessness, be still
Rest yourself in these arms, in safety
I tossed, turned and whimpered
Crying out to be released
Still you didn’t let go, holding on
Tangling yourself against me
Like angles and demons
We fought for supremacy
First my body than my heart
The ground we desired as our own
I shivered, longing to give all
Even while I battled your dominance
The scarlet of my tears
Past lives bled out in visions
While you wrap me in cool sheets
Soft whispers of peace and safe passage
No more fear, no more pain
Only here, only now and only this
You are beautiful and mine
When you give yourself
Say it is so, only say it is so
Yes

Past lives bled out… truly. I read what you wrote and heard “bled out” as a verb. Fabulous.
xxx ❤
Thank you, it was indeed a verb but not everyone sees and hears as you do.
❤
Val, this is beautiful! I had to put down my coffee cup and sigh after reading it! The imagery throws you back and forth between fear and calm and you’re left to fully exhale. Loved it!
Thank you Bella, I am gratified by your visit and your kind words.
Outside the storm of Barney is raging away.. and here I come to another stormy passionate embrace… LOVED it Val… the rise and fall of it matched almost perfectly the wind and rain lashing upon my windows 🙂
Loved this line “Past lives bled out in visions”… Loved all of it.. 🙂
Would that we all could have safe passage… Love and Hugs dear Val… xx ❤
Love and hugs back. I am thinking safe passage, even if for a brief respite might be what we all need.
We all need that I think right now dear Val.. Love right back at you x
You do tussle very well … and this one with a peaceful ending … well, at least to me.
It is representative of at least a small peace, at least for now.
May it be so for you!
That is my hope. My poetry, often it is my hope.
Another beautiful verse, you really ought to think about the wall art
I search and search for what fits. It is simply found art. I am most fortunate in what I find. Thank you for liking my words.
Very sexy! I love your words.
Thank you so much.
***No more fear, no more pain
Only here, only now, and only this…***
your words take my breath away. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You make my heart soar, then land at peace. Thank you. ❤
Very pretty, Valentine.
Thank you Carrie, as I pull I out of my current funk these flow into my journal.
