    Love's Tender Violence

    We lost all sense
    of love's tender violence
    as we raided each others dreams,
    invaded convenient bodies whole,
    and stole their ghosted voices;
    renewed actors in an unrehearsed play
    pulsating images of fluent whimsy
    across a foreign planet's stage,
    we lit an impassioned sky
    of love's tender silence
    where its invisible ink
    will never
    dry.

    Very profound little gem you've penned here.The distance you travel in imagery in such short lines is simply wonderful! Bravo!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
