The rain falls tall

I would like to post a poem I wrote for my beloved:




The rain falls tall:

the lightning colors her face
shadows fade as the sun sets
flowers bloom in the pale snow
--------she breathes
all sound has been vanquished
my heart remains not
though I know the place
------she trod
softening my soul as
it melts for her,---she breathes
what.---(the touch?)
---passion ripples in
---the shaded night
------------touching
---------touching
------touching
delighting in the culmination of
---h
---e---c
---r---o
-------u
-------n
-------t
-------e-------singing silently
-------n
-------a
-------n------(in beautiful pain)
-------c
-------e
she breathes
completion is
-----------------her eyes wide shut
--------------------flickering
omens~
-------------there is the ocean
------i fall up
---------------neverending sky
caressing my face------[my scars]
---------------------------the Bells??
---running;
------------------the taste
------------sounds like(
-----------------------wet lilies
---on dry snow)---------she breathes
It
---------------------------Ends
what fury! what insanity!
must i continue to accept what is
not mine? farewell i say! good
tidings i give to all that await
me. I go to the one who can
save me from myself
---------------------she---Breathes
i hAve losT mYself ; ?
my plans were not of this burning
what! am I becoming ...........?
she
----touches
-------------my
----------------face

-----
I---------------Die
i am in the womb
------------now, contemplating
----------------my death
--my birth
-----------what birth becomes?
I know there is naught else
i have chosen, my will is set
my love festers it
------------breeds and with it my
heart BLEEDS
-------------------------------becomes me
-----------------my love---consumes me
------------------------------decimates me
---our mouths
inexorably embrace

this is her deliverance:
I Breathe
