swampy hearts
here come
creeping thoughts of longing
like a monsoon sweeping
across starry-night drenched dunes
Our own Garden of Eden
once so heavenly
a place That now exists hopelessly in
my imagination
And it is There we are whole
you are grinning widely at me
Never ever leaving me!
There I come back to you
I hear the croaking frogs
and feel heavy mist shrouding my skin
blanketing our moist bodies
"I will never harm you"
Whispered in my ear!
Trust was Alive, gathering and
Pulsating
inside my heart
a Dear beating creation
precious and fluttering like a red bird
We nurtured it together
feeding faith with the nourishment of
our everlasting love
There
so many times
our lips crashed
together
-waves merging with shore
"This will never end"
you murmured in my ear
always I go back
to the memory of your arms
wrapped around me
strong like tree limbs
The GrandMother of the swamp
supported our love
rooted far underneath the wet Earth
her deep affectionate breath
radiated throughout my Being
She, the GrandMother Oak
moaned and sighed into me
her magnificence
Oh how she loved our romance!
Oh how she too promised it would
never end!
Your betrayal choked the red bird
and from our nest it fell
to waste away on the forest floor
and I grasped that empty space
inside my rib cage
smelling those words on you
"I dont love you anymore"
Weeping like her sister Willow,
GrandMother promised something new-
to rejuvenate my
mind body and spirit
after eternal love was
lost with you
