I’m Yours

Gray- -blustery weather
- -infringement on my flesh.

Warm in your eyes,
yes- -your eyes turn me
inside out- -aching for more
than a smile gives in a coffee shop.
I’m yours anywhere- -licking
whipped cream
from a five o’clock mustache- -
snacking lips play games. 
Touch me- -tangle up my heart,
warm desire- -quickly
tuck me into you- -need
needs taming.

My hand in yours- -
one snow crystal in a blizzard.
I’m all yours- -
melt me.

Gentle Drifting

Spring Blizzard 2003, 8' 3" of Snow Before It Ended.

 

Drifting
the way snow does
over Earth’s bones, trees
- -vast ocean
crystalline emotion.
Cornices curl
with the wind-blown night- -
stormy seas of unflawed white.
Love is like this drifting.
Wafting feathers- -
my love drifts
crystalline emotion
over you- -against you,
into the vast expanse
of your star bright heart- -
drifting- -drifting back,
returning love to me.

It’s all a gentle drifting- -
love and winter.

Crystal Cavern

Handsome,
a candle flickers warm
in your gaze- -I am
held there- -peering in.
We waltz in your crystal
cavern heart- -circles
and laughter.
Dripping silver trickles
down your arm feeding
love between the lines.
Paper ages in ways
unconditional love
will never know.
Hand me the need
I see in the flame- -
tangible- -red,
a key on a chain
for my pocket- -will
let me in safely.  I’ll be
pink raspberry
fudge on your tongue
- -melting love.

Part of You

If I could have
captured your breath
- -just one- -
in the cup of my hands,
it might have formed
a rare crystal
to wear around
my neck for luck.

Then I would still
have a part of you
- -if only one breath.
