Love Drenched

~ creatively composed from the last lines of my 13 most recent posted poems ~

 
You are love’s beautiful rescue
sweeping us away
in passion’s sweet taboo
in the November rain

love drenched

and it is gone now
the deep silence
the dormant sadness

I feel your warmth
your smolder

in this moment
my love spills over

I’m consumed
wet with need

molten
in this splendid
pure golden moment
as slowly we kill ourselves
over and over
in fired small death’s

I sigh and settle
and resume reading
your pulsing desires
and for long as I can
I will

I believed love
might someday return for us
and it has

now we will dream
warm in each others arms
forever

no more probing
for the dark docks
of our souls
looking for home

we are here

  6. Dang, Rob, that opening image set the tone for the sizzling fire of your words. Totally falls together into a sumptuous whole. Your conclusion well-founded by what came before 🙂

    1. I had to incorporate a few connecting words, a couple tense changes, and a shuffling in the oder of publication Kim — but they are all there, as the substance and foundation of the work. I was pleasantly surprised I could cohesively edit the resultant last lines in this manner, to achieve this piece.
