You

You’re the thorn in my rose

and red, you’re the red rose in my blood.

Stuck by you - I bleed kisses…

… onto the handmade rice paper

of the floral wrapped air…

Like a Puppy

Like a Puppy

You tangled like a puppy underfoot,

licking my heart, lapping up my every

thought.

Two

Two interconnected networked

systems.

In Symantec/ simultaneous…

We……………

…………download and upload each

other- in synchronized-

foreplay…of our flash drives…

I Adore

You

I Adore You

I lay here sleepless, adore you,

…Living life as your wife-

…Bursting with rose filled fantasies-

…Writing love poems in rose red

blood-

Spurting in arterial flow- the

words……You are… my life.

I Spin and I Dance

I Spin and I Dance

I spin in endless circles… and I dance. You’ve

become my sense of safety, my

world……… my trust

…

Shadowed love

Shadowed love-

dappled by moonlight-

swears eternity-lightly kissing the petal skin of your

face

Pictured and framed…all of our feelings…

…………to function in pairs.

Reflecting back at us…our love

Like an Opening Bud

Like an Opening Bud

My eyes stare at you –

curled like an opening bud, asleep;

stare at - your loved lover’s… form ……………….and burns.

I ache to lick all of the freckles off of

your back.

Words that you spoke to me, planted in me-

with your eyes-during the day

………………stretch open a chasm within me………………….

that yearns

To Be You

To Be You

To

understand you

To invade your shell…………………..in

play.

To see you….to see as you see.

To feel you…to feel as you feel.

To know our love….as you know)

our love

You

Gave

Me

You Gave Me

You gave me a single red rose every week…

Then I told you…to also give

white.

The red rose…signifies our passion… and our

fervent hearts. The white… signifies Eternity-

… Your

Presence

Felt

… Your Presence Felt Your presence felt,

impressing itself, caressing, trying

to stay close- sitting behind me in

…the chair. Outside white ice falls

down in thanksgiving through

…the air.

Your eyes flaming out to reach the spot on

my neck that waits for you…lingering

over an image of a red rose.

Thrown down in the snow, the

red rose beats.

The Sound

The Sound The sound

The sound of the waterfall’s

of the shot roar

through my heart… over the gorge…

as our eyes … every time…

met. you look at me now. The

sound of silence…as you hand me one single white

rose.

Every Night as you sleep

Every night as you sleep,

Every night as you sleep,

I lay like a white seal pup, curled against the glacier of your

back.

I lay with the wide open black eyes of deep

water that runs under the ice and swim through

the pool of the night of you… until the pink rose of the

dawn flutters in your hand…

and… you kiss me awake.

This

This Singing of…

This singing of a rare rose’s love…

alert, sweet in its dewy freshness.

This is you and will always be

you…as our time together grows-

higher, wider, bigger, deeper.

The secrets of our love…

a deep carved coral red

Surprising

lovely, unbidden rose.

This is you and will always be you…

as…time stands still… in your love’s…stance

smelling so intoxicating and sweet

…wound round my pulse…

The gift of your glance

The gift of your glance………

creates love…

every time our hearts…

purr, entwine…

and …meet.

If

If

If the rose enclosed in amber…

and smelling of myrrh…

within its deep throated chambers…

is not you…and my dearest love…

Then who?

I know it is you.

Prayer

Beads

You are the answer

to my prayers…

of love

Every day.

Love

Sews hearts together

The many hued colored rose (you)… softened...

softened, caught…-becomes a shooting star…of

…sparks, shining…

Stroked, you turn and show

Stroked, you turn and show

in your eyes…………

a shining galaxy…

….an everlasting galaxy

… embodiment of love.

Hot, this molten

lava embrace…

of our love…

…set…

aflame

wound around and through…each other’s frame…

a maypole dance…

unwinding in

mated ribbons…

braided …around and around each other.

You,

Half-

Awake

… You, Half-Awake

You half-awake with bannered

need…curl deeper

in my arms… E.T. needing to phone

home.

Your sonar-ed singing whale…

travels half the world to ……………………..

find me.

You cling warmed and sweet

How much pie can I eat?

Waking up Saturday morning…You cling warmed

and sweet…to me…

The cat curled up in the nest on top of us

…while outside

the first and crystal snow storm takes form…and

in the vase, the red rose flaunts its love

verses …singing loudly, redly, sweetly

-running with the juices of … a chorusing almond

cherry pie.

White Rose

White Rose

The snow lies blanketing the ground.

I lay blanketing you.

The sweet caress of white light on your shoulder…

…is my caress……the white rose.

In a clinging gown of light

In a clinging gown of light

…the day arrives on time-putting on a

necklace

comprised of your smile and opening

eyes-

which with fond embracing lock- clasps

around my life in a shining constant of

repetitious glamour-

a glow paid for in installments- of

words and loving exchanged …

between us …daily

Here you are…cup in hand

The first cup of coffee

for which

I am almost ready/not ready

but here you are…cup in hand…a knight of cups.

You smile eagerly… jump starting my battery

giving answers to questions…that I’m not ready

to even think about asking yet…not ready by

long dripping drops…to give up yet…but

here you are…cup in hand…servant of love

You have remained constant

I have changed a changeling for the

worst…but you have remained as

constant-as the tides that the moon

pulls to my gravity. You have remained

in the swoon of first love-as I have

become unknown to myself.

You’ve mapped my love-charted it with

your compass-that has its hands stuck

on True North/

on a True Heart.

hope

You are pages of love

…You are pages of love

taking me to worlds where…

You are kings and kingdoms of love…

(Always bringing out my response)

You’ve used all of your best and…

You’ve used all of your best and…

most faithful dogs…to follow and track me

through the polar wastes and freeze of

…any problem or hurt.

You color me with your kisses

How close I feel to you!

How close I feel to you!

No longer a Zen pristine lone self, No

self……………………

the Sound of one hand clapping self.

YYYooouuu

YYYooouuu

YYYooouuu Color me

with

your

kisses
