...the language always fails

even her best attempts
to convey how he moves
the wind around
in the attic where her
dreams are born

return void…

she wakes,
the urgency to conjure him
is palpable

she writes

yet the blending of sounds, the coupling
of consonants to vowels, the
words birthed from mono/multi-syllables
punctuation - all of it

still falls short
of who he is
and
how he drives her sweetly
to the edge of sanity
within the hallowed
space between
her temples

deep
inside her house
there is another stirring;
evidence of
open gates,
embers glowing warmly upon
the hearth,
doors ajar

no forcible entry ~

no strangers here...

she pauses her pen
to begin again

but
there is no adequate way
for her to say

he.is.the.key.

from the manuscript, "The Woman in My Attic"

 
O...okay. this be some of that burning love kinda real stuff, eh? i can relate. i see where you're going...feel the flava of this piece. it's sweet when two intense poets come together. the depths of their words seem multiplied...and i get to reap the rewards of their mutual admiration throw offs.:)

i feel love is in the air.......:)

nicely done, my friend.
