Assimilation

Category: My Poetry
sunlight and shadow light lies along your side like a pillar of salt from some faraway desert where the sun cuts sharp   here is a land of boundaries shadows and light locked in place you stand there unmoving within a forest of stones   In my dreams I am at your side part sunlight part whisper do you hear me   I will weave myself between your molecules of water and salt of darkness and heat   Differences dissolve between you and I let us assimilate becoming something new

    It reminds me of my first experience as a teenage repeat offender and the closings of records. How it all assimilated into what I am today through what I was then. Excellent work.

    I am reminded how a couple comes together as one reading this. It’s beautiful, exquisite. Have a great night.

    Ah, a lovely merging.

    I can see the contour of the body ancient and stolid. And the whispers that sing in the field of stones.

    The imagery is stunning!

    That is magnificent. Truly a delight. “I will weave myself between your molecules” stands out so strongly.

    my goodness, you have touched the essence of life within me. Your words, your insight, your ability to seek deeply is rich!
    I loved these lines:

    part sunlight

    part whisper
