For the Abscence of Fear....
More than mere arms outstretched...
my love hangs in the stillness, tethering to my sanctuary within you.
Giving what's bruised and broken...
the aching bone and flesh,
the doubting crimson vessel, and weathered marrow of soul.
Restlessness and insecurities
laid before you,
my hell collides with the beautiful solvent of your heaven.
Nurtured in such warmth;
like gentle rays of sun, ardor swallows what haunts...
sealing the crevices of darkness,
cleansing the crumbling decay.
Like turpentine on the caress of acceptance, polishing what's tarnished...
renewal glides the surface of melancholy hues.
For absence of fear, with arms forever outstretched;
I'll remain...
tethered tightly to my sanctuary within you.
Mind and spirit unfettered
at the altar of strength and forgiveness.

Re. For the Abscence of Fear....
Pandy, this piece is so romantic❣️❣️ Although it does make me want to get off my ass and paint a room, the whole house maybe...talk of solvents, turpentine, hues, colors...all remind me of hours spent mixing paint for customers in a former hardware store life. But seriously, super sensual. I love this passage, "...my hell collides with the
beautiful solvent of your heaven." My favotite thing about you and your poetry is your passion and sensuality runs so deep. 💕🙏🌷
The image is so touching and beautiful.. isn't the human body so beautiful, especially the distaff? (call me archaic-man) 😁

Haha, thank you for the giggles. Your comment about the passion and sensuality mean a lot to me. I'm in a mood, so I'm not quite on my A game in paying the proper thanks you deserve.💋💖
Re. For the Abscence of Fear....
Agree with Gahdess. The poem and picture evoke an atmosphere of TLC between lover and beloved.
Already thinking of writing a poem with your title as its first line.

Your poems always have an effortless flow to them and the words you use create an amazing visual of the story you're telling without the need of the beautiful pictures you use.
Nice work, S!

Thank you dearest Luna. Your words warmed my heart. I'm sorry for the late response. I can't decide if I want to be here or not!😄🌷💞

To find that sanctuary of forgiveness in an altar of strength makes life not only bearable but assuages fear. You took me on an odyssey through life haunted yet finding purpose in a person who eases the angst and soothes the existential crisis. To be connected to such a person in an intimate way is perhaps life's greatest gift. This source of light in the darkness both illuminates and warms the soul in indescribably happy ways. I know for I have walked the path you put into rhapsodic words too.

Today is one of those days that words and thoughts fail me, John..
But so much THIS:
"To be connected to such a person in an intimate way is perhaps life's greatest gift"
Indeed it is. Thank you, dearest friend!xxx
