love-junkie

admittedly,
I am
a love-junkie,
give me a sky to behold
and I'll turn it into a page
of words
aching
for the wonder
of You,

give me a word to brush-off
like a painted desert
and I am free to roam
the landscape of time
immemorial
between the arc of light,
bent with recognition

give me Your hand to hold
and Your lips to kiss, and I'll
dream away the rest of my life
in the way silk and honey slide
down
like euphoria
on a lover's breast.

I’m also a rock, tree,

I'm also a rock, tree, cloud hugger; sometimes all three simultaneously. ;-) ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

I really like your word choices in the poem, mainly at the ending, "In the way silk and honey slide down like euphoria on a lover's breast." Love an ultimate high

Indeed…. most of us have

Indeed.... most of us have NO IDEA of just high the height of love can be.... and how long one can sustain that high... ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time.

Hmmm, may I have a shot of that junk?

For there are times when I like to get high on love also. Beautifully crafted. Awesome piece. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." "A Democracy can withstand anything but Democrats." Robert A. Heinlein
