An Organic Love Story (Prequal to Love letter to the sun)

As spring came

I stepped off into the DISTANCE

Winter was my touch

She was my MISTRESS

I would MISS THIS

What ever THIS IS

Some say she bore the color

Of the suns perfection

Goddess like red tones of copper burnt BROWN

Reminiscent of the fall

As autumn leaves begin to cover the GROUND

Laying fourth the FOUND-ations

For my BIRTH

I was born into the struggle

And have been caste to play the part

Of the coldest moments on EARTH

Though it is within these times

In which we all choose to plant seeds

In hopes that they will one day

Grow to know their WORTH

Yet that is another story of love in SEARCH

Because weather you are Summer

And I am Winter, falling victim

To the warmth

Of loves EMBRACE

Or if I were to become the moon

Cursed forever to CHASE night into DAY

Just to BECOME one with the SUN

So that some of us

May become fortunate enough to SAY

That a "love" with infinite possibilities

Will leave room for no ESCAPE

Its been known to move mountains on earth

And gravitate planets in SPACE

A wise King once told me

The key to keep it all in PLACE

Was to make sure the way we RELATE

Is to be open and honest communication BASED

No longer a step AHEAD

But rather a step together INSTEAD.

Yes, the "what if" can be torture at times.... I was told "its better to regret the things done, then to look back and say WHAT IF" These are two poems in a three poem series, I felt like I had written so much about revolution, and fighting the system, when at its essence, change comes through love... "At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love." Che Guavara :)

one thing i love about this is the celestial references to the moon..

Your poetry has a strong sense of equality. Like nothing can exist on it's own. Everything/everyone exists with counterpart.

"Goddess like red tones of copper burnt BROWN"

another fave part.. imagery of beautiful skin tones...

loving the whole peice!

DOC, you got it, right on the nail!!!! The world of dualities, thier is no night without day, sun with out the moon, man with out woman, all is essential for life to continue, everything in moderation, everything in balance. A well balanced meal, life, workload, balance is key. I Mean you even picked out the Revelation 1:14 influenced "Goddess like red tones of copper burnt BROWN" (Hair of wool, feet of burnt bronze). Thank you for the read :D
