Linking with "Words Count"...with Mama Zen at Imaginary Gardens
Somewhere in the midst of a magnificent storm
my heart resides upon the most beautiful bridge.
It so longs to hold a crazy profound love
while the winds of chance make the beams unhinge.
It hungers for a connection like a bridge between two lovely lands.
A place to give homestead out in the wilds of naked openness
so ecstasy may be guarded within my own hips and another's hands.
Above the raging waters of storms that no man could ever cease
is a place my heart shall tarry in hope's own splendor
as my yearning for this one love will always increase.
Beautiful writing!

ReplyDeleteFrom the heart Carrie, but this phrase especially catches my breath, 'cstasy may be guarded within my own hips and another's hands.' Wow!
