By Love Possessed. Poem by Fay Slimm

By Love Possessed.

Rating: 5.0


Deep and lonely, darkness engulfed me,
Crouched over my fragile mind, no caring
Ever pacified salty, shed tears.
Despair remained always unmoved.

Then deep spoke to deep, as from your heart
Love started a small flame, which, warming
My spirit awoke me, and healing
Began, in part. I smiled as light dawned.

By love possessed now, sanctuary found
In your words, I have become wholly
Free. There's no longer 'me' - completely
Attuned, we breathe as one. No lonely
Places alarm me, I hold your heart.

Gorgeous doesn't quite make it here. This shows the mastery of poetry in its many 'diversities' by a poet who never has mentioned the technical aspects of writing yet is in complete control of them. Effortlessly it seems. Fay, you never disappoint. Hxx
