My Shimmering Paradise…



Paradise, glowing glimmering, streaming, shimmering paradise,
I’m seeking that slithering spice,
My shimmering paradise, where I can inhale my loves sweet breath
Slithering past, hiding from death
Caramel pearls upon your silky skin
I can feel your soul opening in
Dying always seemed so fair and loving,
Loving is so eternally becoming,
I can smell sweet spice in your hair
Entwined by love, shimmering fair,
Once, twice, yet more again,
Falling ever falling, no more stalling,
Backwards falling losing all my air
Loves breath in my lungs
And how, sweet lover
My wings are opening
Spreading long and wide
My dive is beginning
And now the rush I feel
As the wind rushes by my skin
Come dearest love come let me in
How did you touch me such
I think you protest your innocence too much
We’re flying across the open plain
Oceans beneath us our wings are cutting
Like swords unfurled,
Carving, caressing, magic love
In the hot summer air
Rushing thru the atmosphere
Falling, tumbling, roaring down
Descending once, now and forever
Into this darkness, warm and sweet and fair
Like condors off the coast,
Swirling thru the summer air
My Wings are wide open
And we are streaming, streaking on down
Love is swirling all around
Feeling the power of love
Speed increasing, overdrive we are reaching,
Soaring on our wings
Coming down down down
Sweet suffocation in each others aura
Terminal speed,
Rushing thru the air
One together love
We are there
One together love
Perfection

Review by: Michael Garfield on Nov. 19, 2012 : (no rating)
First time I've ever read a soldier's poetry...something really moving in the realness of these lines, the distance of time allowing you to write about those years like this.

"I'm falling
From a dark red sky across the dusty hot plain
With my rifle and pistol close at hand
Orange dust blows across my face and hands
Choking hot sand in my lungs so fine
Canopy above me, slipping, drifting, languidly down
Sweet silver bullets humming all around
While my hands make this silken torn white wing fly"

The love poems read like they'd be better if set to music, or read aloud; on the page they're a little flat but the sincerity still shines through where a more florid poet might get hung up on ill-fitting imagery and five-dollar words.

Real, heartfelt writing.

"The power that only a few brave souls have
To be themselves, and damn what the world thinks"

"When you finally run out of stoic steam
And give your self some time
You’ll find that its ok to be
The flawed human so fine
To erase that final pain you’ll have to open up
The part of your heart that’s closed"
