...

Each heart's soul desire
loving blindness shared
embracing from distant shire
nothing as true as silence giving
...

...

absence of nourishment
rakes upon the soul
in even well-spaced lines
...

Could we?
Be so brave
as to offer yet again another invitation to love?
Once again to risk our hearts our souls;
...

...

...

We met in evening's gray twilight,
our bodies clasped in sweet delight,
to share the shawl of sultry warmth
as lovers often do.
...

Heaven's landscape strewn
every point a diamond shining
lilac scented dreams
escorting unborn wishes
...

...

...

...

...

teardrops gently fall
laughing songbirds fill the air
anticipation
...

...

I would if I could
pluck the stars from the heavens
a necklace to make
adornment to beauty's breast
...

...

Myrtle and laughter,
intimately fragranced joy
happily swirling
amidst anticipation,
...

...
