You wrap me <br />in your castle arms, <br />and your wide-sky love, <br /> <br />and your whisper-perfect gifts <br />carry me on butterfly-breath, <br />to the edge of the forever-forest <br />where you softly place your beating heart <br />wrapped in rainbows and flowers <br />and your tingling smile-fingers, <br />in my eager hands <br /> <br />and I offer you mine <br />raw, red and unwrapped <br />and you entreat birds to break into song <br />to bless the moment, <br />and your eyes drown in mine <br />as you stroke me with your words <br />in the midday sun <br />and I can no longer tell <br />where your soul ends <br />and mine begins. <br /> <br />(26 September 2011)<br /><br />Diana van den Berg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/brimsong-soul-melting/
