Look to the Skies

Trinkets hang from my soul
chiming to the inner winds
A tone of wanting love
sweet melody of bring her to me

to cast light upon my mornings
a smile that is coffee to my heart
eyes that seduce my innocent thoughts
within arms that speak everything is ok

love beyond the bedroom
through covers of our souls
deep into the softness of our bedding
sharing the intimacy of our naked souls

A bond forged of distant tears
That falls into similar ground
Turning tainted soil of the past
To fertile grounds of hope

The ground of our very existence
Scars of a path that cuts deep
Cleansed by tears of shared pain
Bathing in the comforts we keep

Opening eyes to finally breathe again
The scent of the vision of love
Thanks to the garden of flowers
That extends to the castle above

(With great respect to Flower Girl, This is a version of her amazing poem “Castle of Dreams” in my words).  She has helped bring such tenderness to my poetry, forever grateful.
