Love Lights Poem by Lonnie Hicks

The sun rises
sparkle fingers
aop the horizon;
my feelings are alive.

I tingle at the breeze of a single
butterfly wing
that is your touch;

dust in light shafts
come through
the window sill
stir
and float
above us,

I move to taste you;
perfumed still
from the surging night
and you loom above me
reaching
across our illumination;
swirling
to me;
my nipples swelling
remembering
night time lustings;

night time now is dust light beams
dancing in moon streams
gleaming.;

smooth
skin now
igniting again
against
smooth
skin;
I hear you moan,

reclaim my center
with your weight
and I compress
caress your chest;
last nights
love
in an instant
returns with us to bed,

and we imitate
the sun rise
slow soothing
love-making
in the steady ray sun beams
while shadow flowers
in the window box
follow our movements
on the wall;
love strokes-

rhythmic signs
surrendering breath
and astonishment
as body love
takes hold.
Once again
we fall among the lost.

The taste of you
on my tongue
again
the smell of you
rush to my lungs
again
we spiral away;

we're gone;
timeless etched
bathed
in that bursting sun
which announces once again
morning.

Put your hand here I say
and you do
I sign
a soft sign
and you
your deep baritone
moans again;
sudden shuddering

and the window sill
tells me its sunset
8 hours
more we've lingered,

while a new sun
salutes us
on the bed
next day;
lying
finger tip to finger tip
as new shards
of light
proceed and recede
to the window sill
each saying
good night
see you in the morn;

each a long-stemmed
lit rose;
fading
slowly

leaving us

side by side
repleated
and completed.
