your kiss

Rate: 4 Flag
your kiss is like a torn cloth
it fits against the sky like a church spire
alone in a prairie of winter.
your touch runs like a furrowed field,
line beside line, unbroken.
if there had been a moment
for breathing,
for asking,
I would have told you, love
that I’d pay any price
-my heart knows its color
my blood, my being
knows its name.

Beautiful similes and personification. A strong, tight poem. Bravo!
Oh, I do like this very, very much. I have read four times now ... aloud. The strength of your words and the images you evoke, take hold within me, squeeze lightly but do not release. Wow.

And ... thank you.
