douglas Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Oh my desert love Warrior of loneliness and solitude You have shown me your secrets And a new way to exist Red billowing strands of silk Resplendent against the golden dunes Blowing out toward me Like your quiet controlled passion Which awakens things that I did not know existed Deep within my soul And your eyes speak of ancient wisdoms As we stand within the swirling heat and dusts For they have witnessed many things The passing dances of men and women Through the ages who thought that time was theirs to own My wandering love Who holds my face softly between rough and gentle hands How still your knowing How direct the impartation of your enlightenment I feel the strands of your dark hair dancing across my cheeks Soothing me With the subtle fragrances of sandalwood and patchouli You teach me conversation without words You show me the expansive peace that comes from the sky You reveal to me the language of the earth and the cosmos When your feet lift from the ground And you dance toward the full moon And I am left alone walking these mysterious sands I continue to feel your presence For you have pulled away the veil Revealing the interconnectivity of everything Silver strands of pulsating love bursting Between the universes I look to the stars during freezing evenings alone in this expansive desolation And I feel serenity The touch of angels and ancestors You are always with me even though I may seem alone You have placed a glowing star within the centre of my being Edited August 13, 2011 by douglas Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

Aleksandra Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Douglas. This sounds as an elegy, full of love, sensitive and, written from a heart. I loved the title. Maybe used one, but always so deep and powerful. I loved this poem. I hope you are doing fine, my friend.
