Sacred Intimacy

 I see in my dreams 
 that you never wake me up
 I see in my dreams
 that you never talk to me
  
 And is that a pleasure to live in
 Is it what I’m living for
 Or is it that the tides of one lifetime
 camouflaged the bitterness of our bond
  
 Strong blood as it is, as in eons
 this crimson liquid of ours
 We are  poured in its fidelity, 
 the emptiness
 The pieces one by one they flow
  
 And in this mentality of weakness
 we grew to be the last to enjoy
 The last to be fair or wise or real
  
 So as a shadow I watch, 
 as a phantom
 I bear the burden of our sins
  
 In my sin you are a legend
 In my dreams I am your thrill
 In reality I cut my pieces in halves
 So that we feed on all of them
 So that we never get hungry
 Never become haggard

WOW. I love this piece! It’s amazing and has some really powerful lines. My favourite has to be “in my sin you are a legend” and the constant almost oxymoron tone of your poem pulls me in

Your dramatic poems leap from my brain and engage my heart and soul. A poet’s voice and awareness, you have. Cool mood board.

I really liked your lines:
‘So as a shadow I watch,
as a phantom
I bear the burden of our sins’
Thoughts so different from mine, and yet you write in a way that reaches out and bridges the divide. Powerful writing! Am looking forward to visiting your blog again.
