Greenery lined his face

his freckles, bounced in the light of day

His smile, wrapped itself around my heart

she whispered back calmly, “please stay”

Her beat knocked on his soft lips, aching,

to be sure that in his soul, she had a place

The wind, caressing our skin

as you laid on my scarred thighs.

Closely, I held you dearly,

against the river of my life.

The thought of your absence, cinched at my throat.

claw marks, invisible, stung and let go.

My soul, once afraid and alone

now barred company that sang every soft note.

Once, never considered

now shaking, naked, so vulnerably exposed.

If one day we are worlds apart,

my mind will decay

my heart, again empty,

departed, but never led astray

My life, will feel full

your lingering sweetness having blessed the ashes

you shine

and the suns smiles, are simply refractions of your light

from nothing, you create beauty

leaving a piece of your strength in all that you do

black orbs follow your gracious passion

your vigor, full of desire

singes my arteries

your abundant energy is absorbed by all you love

dawn comes again and your tired muscles ache with solitude

yet you are there waiting for me, and I

eager for your kisses peak up behind the hillside
