Rivalry

 

moths drawn to you

are desperately needful

of their night sky's fire and flame

 

 

what I would do to hear

every story in your

tidal voice

 

subsuming and gently vibrato

 

when you are just

of unrepeatable beauty

someone to love their rain

 

 

I love you, truly

through any moonlit hailstorm

across any electric ocean

To feel your unfading caress

Did I actually stumble across

Did I actually stumble across greatness? A heartsong, uncommon, almost ethereal, several steps above the everyday? I believe I have.

 

I was about to log out when I glanced at the first line of your masterpiece (I almost never use that word) on the homepage and found myself lured back in. Wow. How many writers have tried put a new spin on that simile and somehow fell short, but your prowess of language made it soar. 

 

The entire monument of eloquence and expertise was a breathless, exceptional experience that made my day. Truly. 

 

Peace and Light.
