'Tis I in the lightning, striking so close to your heart
Catching your breath away, sweeping your heart
'Tis I in await, like a lion in heart heat
I am in the lightning striking close to your heart
I am the raindrop, you just felt kiss, touch your nose
I am Firefly and lightning dancing prancing in bright white lite pose
I chase hard after your heartbreath, candela my lite
I remain he yea, who whispers third watch long into the night
Sunshine, it is I, awaiting you at dawn,
Rainfall, Night glitter in one, such am I
I am lite dancing upon windswept strokes of lofty and tall
I glimmer in tribute to beauty great and small
Yet only your breath shall soothe the wild beast of my soul
Yet your hand shall tame him, all time this I've known
I have trampled battlefields, my name blows in the same blood stained wind
I am birdsong of morning, baby's breath at hot noon
I am waterfalls cascading, sundrops wet in afternoon
I shall paint you in sunshine, soft strokes never seen
All men shall desire, salute you, and want you the same,
Girls faint in wanton envy and dreamed wet shame
You are fresh wind whispering in dance upon lite
We are the very essence breath of our words wrapped upon parchment tight
A salute to our love, a tribute to bold
Through my words whispering eternally, your very beauty face and soul,
All men shall bow and know you, living on in time beyond all
Indian girl with tears, Indian Princess standing tall
Many names has she, yet only one true love who awaits by cliffed sea
I am lightning dancing, fired breath upon sea... hear me, see me now
I am Mr light Dancing awaiting thee, yea, I am in the lightning
That strikes close your heart this very night
I am in lightning racing streaking across the vast sea, yes, as always, eternally awaiting thee....
His love for his Indian Princess is breathtaking. The pure raw longing cannot fail to pierce the most cynical heart. I hope he shatters the bonds that tie her captive.
I love this, I could read your poetry forever, so very beautiful and romantic, more than romantic, so full of life and love that shall live forever in your heart and your poetry...
So beautiful,
Reindeer

What charm have you to write this way? To indulge my senses with such splendor and then leave me again to wait on your return. Of course you know; it is my pleasure.
Rodney..I'm trembling.. to be loved as you love someone here is the most recurring dream a human heart can have.. from all sides, in all weather.. no holding back, no backing up, no reservations.. this is your stark, naked truth at its most primal.. at its most vulnerable.. at its most beautiful! Ah, yes, I tremble just to think of it..You don't seep in, you pour all over me. You write from a heart that has no rules. I love this. katy.
Surrounded by tall trees
Which bend gracefully
In stormy weather
Often break across lines
Leaving me without power
When the air becomes heavy
With impending attack
And visual electricity
Fills the sky
Followed by the crash
Of displacement
One…
One - hundred and two…
One - hundred and three…
One - hundred and…
I count it out
Just to see
How close it was
I let droplets
Of rain fall onto me
And wonder
How it will feel
When the powerful
Lightning
Finally
Hits

Rodney, you are indeed standing tall in her eyes today, with this beautiful, loving poem. Standing tall and walking proud before her eyes. How can she resist. Bill
