how the lotus blossoms in late March

like drunken gods
they stood
before one another
touched
and a universe was born

they spoke like brave-hearted poets
released from unholy banishment
words of love falling from
their succulent kisses
and
this is how their poetry was conceived

this is what I know of brilliant seas:
this alchemy of a man
and woman ascending
their fingers entwined

this is how the fog touched our feathers
like herons nesting
and writes our poems

this is how the lotus blossomed
beneath the fire in the sky
this is how I adore you

BIG big sigh! From me.

Ann of Norway Oh flames of fiery alchemy are born not of less than love, once they, adorned with garments of the angels, now like two stars become one in the firmament of our pages, we shout hurra and bend a knee to the fates that opened gates to Paradise a thousand times blessed. Is it a yes, oh yes it is a yes? BIg wonderfully satisfied sigh and what a meeting dearest sweet sister and brother mine long may the love bloom anew each day for ever whatever that is. Love so much of it to you from Anuska

What a sensual poem!

I like how you start out speaking in the third person, but end with an "I" statement...how you create a world between these two people and then come back to this world... xoxo Jhena
