Love Poem: Earth To Earth

Earth To Earth

With earnest passion raindrops pummel earth and seep within her soul
I wonder if I cried for her if I could creep within her soul?

With sunlit breath the earth is burned and fire leaps beyond control,
I wonder if my breath on her could light love deep within her soul?

The gentle moon caressed her face to sweep from pole to distant pole
I wonder if I touched her so, if I could sleep within her soul?

The dewdrop tears of earth await the dawn to peep and to console
I wonder if I bowed my head if I could weep within her soul?

The seeds I’ve never tried to nourish can’t be reaped for they’re not whole;
without that tenderness I’m but a hurting heap within her soul.

My heartbeat leads me like a sheep unto a sacrificial knoll,
it’s where she shears the wool of love that I made cheap within her soul.

Oh, storms have stole all hope that I could steep myself in pitch and coal.
The ‘jinni’ spells grow weaker while love falls asleep within her soul.
