Crescendo

I will tell you how
I thought of you today -

as if a thousand wild horses
approached from an unknown distance

storming their way closer,
thrusting onward and into my mind.

I closed my eyes,
the ground trembled at my feet,

and there was your earthen
essence, settling on my waiting lips.

The universe exploded,
I completely let go,

suddenly,

as if I'd never
exhale again.

Wow, sorry I missed this one. I wish I'd seen it sooner.

I loved the imagery you used to create the trembling feeling in my body you wrote about. It was very well done, bringing together elements of love with nature. Excellent Ruby :) xx

every time I read your work I'm moved, I really hope you become a published writer one day. You have the talent and more should discover it.

You are incredibly kind. Sometimes certain poems just write themselves. I appreciate you reading and commenting so generously!
