Poetry, out there, somewhere, sharing the muse.

In answer to community

My heart soars, longs & aches for you
I cry out & howl at the moon for you
My whole being mourns at all you have lost
and laughs at all you will gain

How can I express how I feel about
who you are.
The more I see you, the more I know you
and the more I love you
I cannot express enough in words how
much I long to soar with your spirit & soul

I want to stand on the mountain tops & scream
I want to fly in the clouds & dream
Of possibilities, of fantasies, of reckless abandon
breaking the shackles of this world & soaring.

I envy you, your ability to release yourself.
I want to watch you across a crowded room
with a glass of wine in my hand. See you working
the crowd, charming the women, and crowing with the
men. I just want to watch & see who you are, see if you notice
me watching you, seeing you. All of you.

Come, smell my hair & we will fly together.

Your poetry is amazing. You have a way of piecing them together so beautifully. This one especially touched me after reading Soulreaver's blog.
