Rib

Your flesh, I enmesh.

Your heart, I embrace; your lungs, 

I softly brace

 

rising and falling like the tide.

Not lost, nor shattered

when taken from your side,

 

I linger on the shores 

of your breath

dusk or dawn, in life or death.

 

An arch, an anchor, unspoken;

a crucible of bone,

bruised yet unbroken.

 

A cradle that holds, even as it breaks.

A cup that brims,

no matter what it takes.

 

In love, forever flanking you

I cling on, in passion

fierce and true.

Reviews

i dont know what it means for a writer to read his reviews, but to me i see the pain in poet and his intent and his suffering. I dont want to just say you write very well and a good poem. I would say what it lead a writer to write a poem. Its not that evrything a imagine, i see you write exactly a fact. I am not knowing what i should i write as a review, but if there few men who love a woman and doesnt know how to express then those men would definitely feel thankful to you where he can live with these lines and feel blessed to have such women in real life.

Thank you so much for sharing, i see is it a sex fulfills love, and a ecstasy, but i would say who can really understand his woman is what it feels a pinnacle reach, Mount Everest is highest peak, but people wait and struggle to see Mount Kailash and makes them dream come true as if seeing God, rather seeing a highest peak.

The pic which you drew is adorable with which your writings gave it the best pic so far in a pool of your pics of my favorites one and also i am big fan of your artwork.

Thank you very much, my friend. What you said about Mount Kailash is very resonant with me. Waiting to see God rather than the highest peak. Your thought humbles me, they're so divine and reverent. God bless you.

This is raw and alive—the way you hold someone in words, through every rise and fall, bruised yet unbroken. Fierce, true, and unflinching. Makes me feel the weight of love and devotion in every line.
