January’s Passing

January’s passing
promises more cold- -
fold the dreams away
a summer wardrobe
                                  set aside
winter lingers- -and you
in continual soft sway- -
motions of love in action.

Here I stay
your private oasis
dressed in winter cloak,
my smokey love
forever whispering
proclamations of desire
                                          surrounded
by your caress
teasing my heart.

I am so much more
than an island
in the essence of you- -
continual lover
that you are- -even
I have a sea inside
frozen in January’s passing.

Poseidon’s Kisses

Tide swell erases
words in sand- -
washing songs from shells- -
foam licks our legs,
Poseidon’s moonlight drenched kisses.
We swim with stars at our feet
diving in
to one another,
trying to save the last pearl
from ever being found
by the wrong hand.
Long days of summer gone
we package our love
in seaweed
and color it farewell.
