Your Presence

My dearest ,
 if only you knew what your presence does to me
Your presence is the sunlight,
Peering its way through the forest's web of interlocking leaves
  glistening  over the  streams of my imagination
Thoughts  now like steady rough excited currents   ,
 gushing through the dry alleys of my heart ,
memories of your absence ... are now long forgotten ...

now nature awakened  from its spell blooms ..untamed , unkempt,
butterflies metamorphosed
into dragons of nervousness , happiness and restlessness ...
my veins so confused , forget their function , no longer regulating  the temperature of my blood
they are invigorated by your presence , they too long to be noticed ,
in childlike envy they now mimic  the heart ,
beating ,
on the drums of my cells ,
resounding a haunting melody ,
the tempo increases
 and this causes my lips now  so red , plump .. on the edge of bursting to tremble
 The halo of heavenly mist that glides , twirls and kisses the innocence painted  on petals fills my lungs –
i exhale the scents of lavender , tulips and forget me not..

At your presence
My nerve endings bow ,
as the nightingales of my eyes sing in merriment of the return of a bleeding heart’s king

Your presence ... strips me Of fear
Burns my clothing ...
Removes my skin that lies ,
 a skin struggling to hide the earthquake within
U now clad me in the finest silk of our memories ..
happy , sensual memories

Your presence ....cuts my Achilles heel
i fall gracefully onto the floor ur presence graces, and i worship that space ...
ur presence sets ablaze the weeds of doubt
renews the soil of my mind ....

just a sprinkle of the need for me in ur stare
blossoms a  surreal garden , trees that can  trample over the barbed wires of my soul ...

ivy poisoning the cold fears untold .. they wither ... returning to the dust , buried where memories of your absence sleeps ..

Your presence is the light i clutch to ,
The light that banishes the darkness ...
My last can of oxygen

Without u ....im a stem .. that has been forsaken by its petals

Ur presence ... a cosmic complexity of a light ...
A force that shakes ,feeds, tumbles , stirs  .. And dances with the life force in me
