[ Birthday 2017 ] The Spirit Of Poetry

always flows in me    
through this heart grown  
fonder of your presence  
 
in its absence; my yearning     
tethered to you---  
an Ariadne's thread      
 
through Present's Past  
and Future tense      
       
And I'm in over my head
 
with dreamings under
Taurus moon above  
of Two soon to become One      
---un'frayed, tying the knot        
in spiritual union      
       
Spun on the loom of Love
flannel sheeting makes up half
the bed of who I am, tirelessly    
waiting for you to crawl in  
   
---mind, soul, n body  
completing me     
       
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
previous version    
   
   
   
   
   
it always flows in me      
Heart grown fonder      
whether in absense      
of your presence      
       
Yearning tethered to you      
an Ariadne's thread      
through Present's      
Past and Future tense      
       
Dreams      
under Taurus moon above      
of Two soon become One      
Unfrayed, tying knot        
in spiritual union      
       
The Bed of my Heart awaits      
for your soul, mind and      
body to crawl in      
       
made up with flannel      
sheets spun on the loom of      
Love
