untitled love poem, written circa winter 2009

Your skin is like lace as you explore me in the

velvety darkness.

Your voice is like summer-

a slow tender burn that never fails to fill me with hope and soft comfort.

I devour your embrace as you calm me with the steady rhythm of your breathing.

Pierce my heart and let me bleed a deep red for you.

I'll blush- a blue woman who breathes as your angel.

I forget to worry in such strong arms.

Make me laugh my lovely-

Stare into my eyes freely, they are in fact yours...

A fresh green that I hope reminds you of the beautiful earth we love deeply.

I promise to conjure up the smile of a child as I grapple with reality.

Just know to me you are magic and that

I trust you with my every cell.

I reminisce about the lingering fever of yesterday-

when our bodies were wrapped together

(whose limbs were whose?)

It didn't matter...

It was wonderful as we slowly sailed into our dreams.

This poem is a kiss for you.
