Click hereI cannot fathom my life
without you.
The angelic smell of your hair,
Nor, the moments-
however fleeting,
in your arms.
My existence, with you
in comparison to the river-
bends and spoons
to every contour
of direction,
an un-ending stream, where as
shore and sea-
we are one.
Every unkempt crevice
of my soul,
that traces whole-
you know, by heart.
How you have
my heart.
Soft feathery branches
of dreaming trees,
and make-believe,
that I, the brambled thicket
call home.
I shall never roam,
where your arms
cannot reach out for me,
where my voice
cannot be heard,
to dance
in the light of your eyes.
To every storm,
where the oceans tide
grows wild,
And like a child
I will run to you -
I will always,
run to you.
The soft sunset you are,
kissing light from earth,
And giving birth to the
harvest of clouds
with the dawn.
Shall the waters grow dry,
and the blades once dancing
find death from parchment,
Where willows break
left weeping-
I will be keeping,
this heart for you.
For I am most certain-
I have loved you,
all of my life.
The images are great, especially the strophes about the river and ocean and those feathery branches. I agree with the others though that you probably meant "fathom" not "phantom," and I also caught that typo that LeBroz mentioned. That sort of stuff is very easy to fix though and then you're left with all those lovely, dreamy images.
