In simmering evening glow
beheld in jewel
moon, its pearlescent oval
hushes barking day
quiet.
For you are
held in my long hand
a heart engraved
rapture slavishly wound
about my making
as roses grow
thick in fragrance
nearer their petals
touch.
For you are
a sound etched in dark
slung over time, carried far
played years later
still we hear
the raw crocus
of your emergence
from stillness.
In unfolded stymen
this pollen we bequeath
each other
wordlessly with
oiled grace
are songs
unsung by
felted lovers.
For you are
my undoing
this life rented out
if you, indigo bird
solace in sweet brine
did not exist
nothing bearable
should survive.
In the marbled cave of our
entreaty, we
pour together till
stiff with purpose
a stalagmite to
behold the
ambering of
our union.
For you are
without comparison
touching that center
blazing and forgotten
sweeping landscape where
birds fill low trees with
their heavy cries
I catch my own voice
beneath your
urging form, we
merge together
softness a dream
to float upon.
In all the days spent
making sense of emptiness
the curve of your jaw
meeting high cheeks
eyes darker than ink
nothing replaced this
urgency to never
leave your side.
For you are
tasted between
consuming sweetness
against
the mellow fruiting
of
my
only
love.
An embrace across a lifetime even in absence.

Transporting in every way…. A spring song to match the birds and the crocuses (which now in my mind have a sound!)

If I were half of you I would have better hair and a wonderful genius ability with writing so – any time you want to share half of you – I get first dibs on the body/mind transplant.
I’ve been thinking of you. I know you’re well out of town so hopefully safe in all of this hysteric madness but I wanted you to know I was thinking of you nonetheless and hoping you were all right and sending you lots of love.
Just wanted to check in with you and find out if you were okay? I hope so. It’s crazy times and I’m checking on those that I care about xo
I hope you are okay my friend. I am thinking of you and yours. Strange times. Be safe. Write when you can?
Love you Miss Legs.
I so appreciate your kindness btw if I did not say before it means a great deal to me.
Ivor I am checking in on you and hope you are okay my friend? Sending lots of love.
And I love you, Candice! 🙂
