In Between

The in between spaces
 –rare moments,
a deep cleansing breath,
long sigh- -too long
in coming- -laugh, smile,
sit for a while listening- –
wind rushing through the trees
                                                singing
relaxation- -meditation,
a lot can be said
in the in between- –
I love you- –
how much you miss me,
perhaps a kiss
in between times- –
men and women can’t go
too long without
moments in between.

Nestled

Trees weep brilliant hues
brisk wind defies darkened peace
your arms my haven
amid ranting frozen rage
crystal white billows
outside- -I nestle in you
legs entwined we sleep
warm- -breathing in unison
we soften the storm

Angel Eyes

We lay beneath warm
night skies.- -Moon’s vaporous glow
pools liquid pearl beads
on your skin.- -I marvel so,
the strength of your back.
You stir- -settle- -a feather
next to me on night
wind’s sigh.- -Your gentle breathing
lulls me to the calm
of your heart’s whispered beating.
In violet dreams
I swim the sea of your eyes,
angel- -in the fire
of your golden soul.
