Crescendo
I will tell you how
I thought of you today -
as if a thousand wild horses
approached from an unknown distance
storming their way closer,
thrusting onward and into my mind.
I closed my eyes,
the ground trembled at my feet,
and there was your earthen
essence, settling on my waiting lips.
The universe exploded,
I completely let go,
suddenly,
as if I'd never
exhale again.

Wow, sorry I missed this one.
Wow, sorry I missed this one. I wish I'd seen it sooner.
I loved the imagery you used to create the trembling feeling in my body you wrote about. It was very well done, bringing together elements of love with nature. Excellent Ruby :) xx

Hello, Ruby!
I'm glad you enjoyed this. I remember feeling this way when my late husband and I started dating - the thought that someone could have this effect on another.
Thank you for reading!

Hello, Leo,
You are incredibly kind. Sometimes certain poems just write themselves. I appreciate you reading and commenting so generously!
