Something Greater.

Postby Fay Slimm » Thu Jul 09, 2015 9:48 am

Image

We pair of home-comers
built from painful baggage a water-tight dream,

an idyll of walled delight.

A bright corner where care could cover old scars.

Oh that happy hand-in-glove fit of regenerative
pleasure which we dared to admit

into autumnal love.

Such easy laughter sparked need to spend more
new-found treasure in glad togetherness.

Fresh as youth was the stream dug from aridity.

Your tenderness stoked heat
in forgotten feelings, blazed pathways to places
I had never been

and seared heaven into every greeting.

So gentle our mountain of unleashed freedom
that time gave us chances

to climb to new heights.

Oh how I thrived in clear air of acceptability.

You re-painted sallow existence, blushed my
palid future, accessed the girl inside
and unfastened this

latched-up former conformist.

You let loose love's abandon and I did not refuse.

Beautiful man your breath
warmed every fold of compatible essence, toned
any slack in my short-sighted outlook
and de-misted

smeared myopic signals.

Duo-passion soon oiled and honed rarely used
adaptability so we could reach bliss.

Our joinings were something greater than flesh
and that better otherness I shall

always remember.

No ocean of parting can break devotion's deep
integrity and I know for certain

we shall meet again.

Oh unforgettable man
you stole into destiny, captured my soul

and now you hold it forever.

Fay, this is undoubtably one of your greatest pieces. The imagery is
superb, and your descriptive eloquence tells of two, who have crafted
their own corner of the world, lit their own fire, and found their own
truth..Ah.. it doesn't get much better.

As Steven has said "It doesn't get much better" than this. Two souls that rise up from hidden pasts to find an awakening in each other... once in a lifetime and so very beautiful Fay.... :)

This is a very moving and I agree with Steven.
