Remember the blush of a lip,
the kiss almost red,
desire’s voice growling
     & melting or devouring.

 

The eye embraces magic,
pierces a window
of present time’s
     blind blue angel.

 

          Morning’s
          warm dazzle.
          Your breath.

 

Animal as wildfire,
we explore & dance,
linger like smoke
     with haunting joy

 

Eternity is a feline blaze.
We circle freely
as sacred clouds
     & drink like gods         

 

          Never wake me
          from this
          healing poetry.

my skin is floating in the enfilade of rhythms
a star in the ocean
and pouring in a torrent between your hands
your skin burnished
a garden of candles
you have the smile of a lotus bud
don’t go
no
don’t go yet
