The silk-bound book of your journey
fell smoking upon the table of my heart.
Just like that.
The jigsaw puzzle of my yearnings for you
tattooed a jade hieroglyphic upon your breast.
Just like that.
What am I doing
wandering naked through the forest
of your illuminated pages,
blood-wrestling with angels
and shadow-dancing with demons?
Why is your heart nailing portraits of sorrow
against the crystal walls of my soul?
All decked out in the myth of Sheba’s beauty
and sporting the crown
of your life’s splendid unfoldment
you drink the champagne of creation
like an empress reborn to her throne.
Why is my soul chiseling statues of tears
inside the secret valleys of your smile?
Just like that: blind drunk on the wine of your eyes.
Just like that: torched by the sizzle of love without disguise.
Just like that: an epic and a vision locked inside heaven’s command.

Whoa! This is freak'n stunning! LOVE the title and this line:
"Why is your heart nailing portraits of sorrow
against the crystal walls of my soul?"
This, is a truly kick-ass poem! I am very happy I took some down time from the grind and stopped in tonight!

I think I got to the first, 'Just like that' before I realized I needed to start over and catch my breath. It was there when the impact of your words took my breath away. I knew from that point on, I was in for quite the treat.
I was. And I enjoyed every bite.
Amazing write.

The contents of this composition shine. It is a magnificent piece, which can enrich the Major Art if a proper revision is applied.
I enjoyed the reading of "A Jade Hieroglyphic".

That's the best way for love to happen..
Just like that: torched by the sizzle of love without disguise.
Just like that: an epic and a vision locked inside heaven’s command.
It's amazing how love can happen - just like that; and this is quite a poem.
