Description
unfolding my heart like thepetals of a rose in bloom,
i call to you in darkness
and see you in the light.
you, the fire burning through
my veins; the pulse within
which beats with sound and
fury each time we are together.
i cherish you, my lover.
far beyond the scope of
seas, depths of fathoms,
stretching for miles.
i need you more than
mortal lungs need breath
and hold onto you, desperate
never wishing to let go.
why do the stars appear
that much brighter when we
walk underneath their
celestial canopy?
why does the moon appear
to illuminate the entirety
of the world whenever we stand
hand in hand together?
i can only imagine such
inquiries are akin to asking
why the world revolves around
the sun, seasons turn to years.
i only know, i hope those
seasons, years, those eons stretch
beyond the scope of my
limited imagination.
because you are, and shall always be
the lifeblood of my soul,
feeding it rich with desire and
offering it a place to call home.

I love this, but since I'm a DA person and not a poet or writer, I don't get to do what I like on the weblog. Happy you've been well all this time though.

Oh Peter, this is so beautiful, evocative and almost soul shattering in the depth of feelings that pours forth from your heart, mind, and spirit.
I believe I would never grow tired of your writing. You reveal to us the inner workings of your heart. You share your love, passion and joy in loving and I find that incredibly beautiful.
I for one hope you never stop writing this kind of poetry.

Oh, what a lovely piece! The fifth and sixth stanzas especially stood out to me. I admire how you imbue so much emotion into your poetry. This made me smile from ear to ear; you shared such personal emotions with me, the reader, and I was able to feel them. Excellent work!
I hope I'm not being impolite by saying this, but I believe will like this quite a lot.

*smiles brightly* he tells me continuously how much he enjoys my poems, so i believe that is a safe guess to hazard. thank you for such warm words, though. i am truly glad you enjoyed it as well... and sensed the intended emotion behind it.
