Bloodstream

Embedded image from another site



Nothing compares to your hands
I bathe in your warmth
the hollow of your armpit
is my shelter...

It cannot be helped
we can't be anywhere
except together...

I'd like to paint you
I choose crimson
my fingers touch your blood
life springs from your flower-fountain
folded lips caress the seams of my eyelids...

You injected yourself into my life
entering my blue and red streams
I cannot filter you out
you have bitten me firmly
the paths of my nerves are yours...

It seems you are so much me
my type O lover
I cannot tell anymore
the what is me and what is you
there is love in cellular arrangement...

Your dark angel eyes
cut like swords into my flesh
waves rush between our bodies
my blood cells which are my stars
flows to yours which is my light...

we share the common blood of lovers
I once read where
the Angler fish attaches himself
to the female with his razor sharp teeth
and in time they share a common bloodstream...

Ken my friend....so soulful...so full of ohhhs and ahhhs in being smitten by love. The words are just so graphic on the cutting of one's emotions never to be detached from the beloved...all the reason how love can really sometimes bleed us dry and yet we keep on putting it all and loving it even as it hurts....

Very deep and engaging picture and very well worded. So far this my best that I have read from you about love.

You take care....
