But Did You Ever Call My Name, Just By Mistake?

Banish me to the four corners of a howling world,
I'll return as the caress of a gentle wind

throw me out of your hard-hearted heart
I'll return to you in a whisper of a glass-winged butterfly

give me away to your secret fear,
I'll return as the last angry sea

hide me inside your lust
I'll bring you 10000 years of lonely tears

I am a monsoon of your reflection in the wake
of the red witch, the perfect storm gathering like
a Southern Cross, I will toss and turn inside
your soul, an alabaster Isis shining through

...no matter where you go, I'll find you My Beloved
I'll tear away your dark shroud, I'll feed you with every word
you have saved until your very last breath

...and you will call me home.

I love it when someone gives

I love it when someone gives an entirely different slant... Thanks moonman, I love IT. *Magical stalking* indeed! Huge smiles. I wrote a poem once and a poet accused me of stalking... lol. It's called "Promised Land." I'm posting it. Let me know if I'm stalking.. ~A

Nice one here Anna

Don't feel bad I was accused of stalking here also. Found it rather amusing and if they only knew what stalking really means. The caress of a gentle wind (loved that too) I like how you brang this at the end to the HOME, a place where love and friendship abounds. Magics02 (on a magical mystery tour lol)
