I Tremble



A poem....I Tremble

I see a new baby nursing at their mothers breast.
I guess there is nothing on earth that is so blessed.
Life giving life.....nurture for the future.... a gain for the afterlife.
I see this and I tremble.

I hear the song in the air..and in my heart it is there.  I saw your eyes, and your image causes echoes....a fire of desire was started.....
And I tremble.

There is and was an explosion, and eruption  - a geyser of emotion flowed from my soul - a passion and elation fashioned the momentous energy that came to me upon the thought of you being with me.....and I tremble.

It is a sad day for me.  It will be like the blackened darkness of night.  Because although I try....I can't seem to make it right.  I don't get the gold and everything falls....I don't get the goodness of beauty at all.....and I tremble.

It is like I am standing by your tomb, near the bouquets  of holly and flowering heather and cockscomb.  It is like in your mind red ribbons and crinkled wrapping paper of presents will solve everything.   You show and give me the gifts, but you don't know what it means....and I tremble.

Under the sun I saw, and also by the moon  and it's silvery shadows  and forms, the colors of emotions...Like the clouds in the distance of a visible storm....that can transform my thoughts with its thunder and lightning....the agonizing buildup unto release....
And I tremble.

You are just crawling thru the ashes of the past.   The things that won't last that were done.  You need to move on...to the the new life we have begun.   The sins are passed away....they can not color today....for the sun has burned them away.....and I tremble.

A seed has been planted in firmer ground....that has survived all the wars that were found....the heros that were profound,  fell to their deaths and nurtured the soil....to become the best that is within us....it can be so wondrous....and I tremble.

So I look to the Future as far as I could see,
But for me there is no eternity
You have withdrawn your love for me
It is my downfall, my catastrophe.....and I tremble.

Please oh Angel, share this darkness with me.
I am down on my knees, I beg and plead.
I am lost in the chasm of my destiny.
My soul is bound up, I can not break free.
The year we spent together,  our history
Was despite all the sin, and adversities,
You carry feelings and share them.so angrily....and I tremble.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.
Having more pain than our hearts could conceive.   We give our all as we both believe,
But in the final act, we can not retrieve
A past of the days that lead up to this grief...
Now I dance with the ghost  of your memory.....and I tremble.

What love have lovers by loving found when they look to each other and not around - so by loving love, we can be won and we can make it thru the storm and snares and pitfalls of sexual sin.  Fate being awakened to our love,  we may dream that we dream of this Love, heaven sent from  above...not aversive....but conducive to the waterfall of feelings that shall forever call us to each other....and I tremble.
