The Heart Can Only Glow Below the ankles:iced orange and amber embers.Legs are ash frosted, blackened timber.My entire torsoIs incendiary conflagrationtips licking and lashing at the cool night sky.The moons moccasinssweep the soil surrounding.The mountains loom likeZeus and his cabinet of gods.The wind whips through,fueling my ecstatic delight.It is a good night! for a ride home through the valleyfrom the cold concrete curb of her apartments;and sent away with a kiss from her voluminous lips?The heart can only glow.
Delicate State Two shooting stars,one forbidden kiss,a swarm of regret(but not really.)Well, only becauseshe kissed a fooland became one herselfin doing so.He said the starsdon't shootfor everyone,but that wasa lie."I want to kiss you,but I can't."They lay together.They lied together.So a bubble was blowndespite a shortlife expectancy.It popped on it's ownbecause bubblesare not meantfor this world.They arefleeting wishes,passing fancies,somewhat secret,logically flawed,but,standing alone,they arepure beautyin their delicate state.
We with Crushes We with crushes,Us luscious love lushes,Our harbored wishes.Hearts tuggingAt our wristsBeckoning us toShaded places.The shimmering sound ofGold, orange, and yellowLeavesWeavesUs a hammockOf dreamsSo sacred a secretUntold.Unfolded armsFor future embracesSpeak the unspokenSpiralsOf a bentwood rocker.We love like our mothers.With closed eyes,Singing.Warm cheeksAwaiting the swayingOf thatLife-long-soul-mate-slow-dance.So let the clichesCrackle beneath your feetAs you cast your fears aside.I am here, now.Dance with me.
The Magic Hours During themagic hours,whentongues tasteddelicious lipsand soft palmsskated over skin,a blind mindlet a heart leadand oh, how it lead.Your fingers readmy body like braille;touchingflame to fuseso I might soarskywardto burst amongthe stars.My sparkles now knowtheir residencewhere they patiently,infinitelyshine;awaiting thine-eyes to riseand observeyour private constellation.
