Red: The Love Poems by Leah James

To you...

To…you, the pillar

of dark chocolate

heights that has brought

me to clear,

ethereal shores.

Know

it is there

where I dwell;

in the heavenly

places.

Looking

down on you

in love;

looking down--

on you in love, I watch

for the sight

of your quieted

heart pressed upon

my bosom.

Your gaze is a

sheer delight -

a gift, given from

heaven’s door…

It’s heaven’s door,

that I opened

to you…

I opened to you…

heaven’s door

with words pure

and sweet

like the nectar

of your affection,

gaping like that

space between

your teeth…

But really…

opened,

just to fall

for you;

just to die…

for you -

Just to know

the gravity of

Earth…

The gravity of

Earth; that where sin

abides,

death accursed reigns.

I opened--

heaven’s door,

as it was opened to me,

worn, scratched and

beaten and bruised. Yet

still enduring; yet

still so true…

and

I walked through the door.

Defying the gravity

of the Earth,

broke

the bonds of every

curse, calling death’s

mocking voice the lie it

is…

It is, death, it is

a lie

to deny,

to negate life,

to deny Love…

to echo the mocking

voice that will be

silenced in Love’s

time…

Eternal, it is, Love. It is

life. For Love, I am bound

to, having walked

through heaven’s door.

Daily I loose;

defy the bonds of

this Earth’s constraints,

this Earth that’s weary;

this Love that never faints;

that gives, in His time

for every need; this Love

supplies for the sharing

of His glory…

Even

for thee;

the pillar -

melting away

to love -

in Love’s

(in His) presence…
