love like a sword
underneath your skin
lie continents
lakes and valleys
molded and torn
by time and weather
hidden
till love like a sword
lays you bare
soft quicksand
under my touch

I like the way this suggests uncertain interior landscapes to be discovered in someone else. That's the way it feels sometimes!
I sense also a calming of natures wildness "under your touch". Beautiful!!
mb--You're so good at reading into my poems--thanks for the insight...
pat--Such a perceptive comment--I hope it turns out that way!(sometimes it feels like the opposite!)
It takes us beyond the realms of love.
gautami--perhaps beyond the words we have for love--or beyond our familiar feelings of love--but of course love itself is a whole universe, beyond everything we know. At least that's how I see it...
my small words are only a hint of the real thing!
firebird, your deftly worded perceptions hit so incredibly close to home for me. wow! i continue to be in awe of your beautiful heart and the words you use to let us see it.
snowsparkle--I'm so happy you found a way to return, if only for a moment! Missing you, counting the days until your life simmers down...
oohhh this is beautiful... the soft quicksand... I am caught!!
