in our series of love poems, this one is untitled

The night opens
her cavernous eyes
swallows me whole.

I whisper 'I love you'
your heart lying next to me
five hundred miles away
you turn to me with sunlight
in your eyes, say 'this is our
sacred space'.

I lick my lips and taste your kiss.
You embrace me with heron's wings.
I, the last red veil slipping off your shoulders,
you are my skin.

We are ángeles vengadores,
lay waste to the gods of separation.

Adam and Eve have never been wiser.

I’m curious about the

I'm curious about the Herons wings...care to share the meaning of the shriek and flap of such a feathered creature? Lovely poem and gives me a great big AH ( said with a sigh )before I head off to my dream world to dream perhaps of Hawks and Herons. Seabhac

I had incredible lucid

I had incredible lucid dreams of a Heron... and always manage to see one flying by. Do you know the odds of just happening to look up when one is overhead? I've written a ton of poetry on herons. My first lucid dream was fucking unbelievable... an experience of sound, touch, sight, smell, feeling, hearing... So you already knew (dreams of Hawks and Herons).... a dream world that somehow becomes real. ~A "If parents really would love their children there would no longer be any war." J. Krishnamurti
