I love
The steady beat of your heart
For you are
A face captured briefly in a curl behind glass
Our hearts
Hands raised and pressed
The silver of us tendered
Forged in spring water
Beyond the sylphing migration of pike
Green and lean, leaping beyond our lure
Water sparkling like mermaids sleeves
If I could rebirth us before
Pain stole years, adding creases to our brow
I’d give you the peace of a sanctuary of love
Ebbing in the forest, a slow unfolding envelope
Protector against harshness, for it is only you
Stirs in me a deep smile, I take your hand
In this and all parallel universes where, if we stay still
They go ahead, just me and you, in replication
To never end, a long string of amber attachment
Curling toward the sun, I see no beginning
We have known the other by our soul, in all walks of time
Against the odds, it is us who returns, always and again
To be one
So rich, beautiful, and compelling! Well done!!
Oh the hope of parallel universes, loved this.
To find a love that is LOVE is so rare, but it’s definitely a beautiful thing.
These lines:
“Green and lean, leaping beyond our lure
Water sparkling like mermaids sleeves
If I could rebirth us before
Pain stole years, adding creases to our brow
I’d give you the peace of a sanctuary of love
Ebbing in the forest, a slow unfolding envelope”
What an exceptional gift they are. This whole poem is a reflection of enchantment and beauty.
Love this!
Ahhhhh. Lovely imagery. Especially the pike.
Beautiful and very romantic. I actually wrote about a pike earlier in the week, but I did not post that poem. Coincidence…as usual 😉
Are you me? Am I you? Wish I was!
Very romantic, I agree and beautiful.
Love outside of time, independent of space, and an augurie of innocence in its deep knowledge. These lines came to mind from Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour”
That sort of love.

Deeply touching and beautiful.
“when love holds you
nothing else can break you
not even yourself” written by Gina of SingleDust
enchanting piece… makes me want to crawl into your head and curl up for awhile. 🙂
Loved to dive into the depth of all these beautiful layers, you’ve created. I had to look up sylphing, though. 🙂
Oh my my this is just so exquisite, tender, beautiful and some of the lines … well words fail. <3
Such entrancing musing from a glimpse – and your trademark excellent imagery
Is that you peeking in the photo?
To find love. Real love. Finally as far as I’m concerned.
Not long ago, my children asked me “was it love at first sight?”
I must say it was, even if I didn’t know it at the time.
As I told a friend later on, when I talked about him: he touches my soul. And it is a wonderful feeling!
I love that quote “when love holds you, nothing else can break you, not even yourself”
This is so true for me. And I’m so grateful! Because I was unknowingly (still am to some extent) working very hard at breaking myself!
(You may not know, but he’s been in my life before, in very different circumstances. About 5 centuries ago, in one of those parallel universes 😊)
This is beautiful, Candice!
To be one indeed
