spit, mixed with dirt – muddy words flow
my heart and soul
‘twined with yours
a vision of eternity, of things to come
a brief intake of a breath
two hands touching,
palm to palm
trembling, yet at rest
gazing inward
eyes like muddy pools
we are sinking but flying
soaring up, up to the clouds
never any effort, we’re natural
meeting time after time
slipping into the nether
rising again, for such a time as this
brandishing love
much like a sword,
I fall on my blade again

There is a struggle that comes across, even when in a joyous mode. The ending is also tinged with a sadness. Excellent piece, the artwork really suits it.

Thanks so much Mark. After a while, jaded, there’s always that tinge, isn’t there?

Hard to scrub that all away. Hopefully the light of love will evaporate it some day.

Quite beautiful, and perhaps true love is like this – fleeting moments for us to treasure.

Yikes. It started off so well. You portrayed many relationships so perfectly – it spins us up, whirls us around, and then tosses us onto the hard floor. A great photo paired with this, too.
