spellbound | poem one posted by imani , Monday, February 9, 2009 at 2:20 AM, in Labels: ars poetica

suddenly remembering
the irrepressible laughter
that hides in your mouth
i count the moments
lost to your beauty
and regained in your
strength
to then take me
to a ruined castle
where your gaze
and my desire collide
to create and mend
fire
i kneel before your
ethereal spark and
taste the calm in
your fortitude.
