Your honeyed words so sweet
However bitter the taste to come,
A sharp and clever tongue
Designed to ever make me numb

You spoke your way right to my heart
And gripped it in your hand
When you were finished scrying,
You replaced it in its stand

"What did you see?"
"Only me."
*
Can I gaze into your stardust eyes,
And drink in your heavy sighs?
I write letters to you in my mind
And then burn them
Such divine pyres
To warm my frozen bones
In the midst of my coldest winter
Winter clings
Winds they sing
Songs of ice
Do entice
Snowflakes down
A frozen crown
Fields of white
A beautiful sight

There goes spring
On gilded wing
Colors bright
Life alight
Flowers grow
From under snow
To behold
A sun of gold

Summer heat
Warms the street
The sun above
Burns like love
The sultry nights
Bring little lights
When fireflies
Fill darkened skies

Autumn rolls through
A wonderful view
Gray sky frames
Colors of flames  
Leaves change shade
A vibrant parade
Whirling to earth
Death and rebirth
Red fur glints 'twixt trees galore
Above, a flight of swallows soar
As they fly deftly through the skies
Singing their sweet melodic sighs,
The fox moves lithely through the bones
Of white birch trees and ancient stones,
Weaving his way through the maze ahead
Strolling where few have dared to tread
Green leaves blot out sun and sky
While crows on branches perch to spy
So shy a beast that roams alone,
The only way it's ever known
You burn so very bright, my love
Will you take me with you when you go?
Will you carry me in your supernova
Let me fly through the stars,
Tear through the galaxy bathed
In dazzling rays of ethereal light
Let me breathe in the sweet silence
And dance like a raging fire
Before I smolder in the endless dark
Loneliness looks me in the eyes
Takes me by my frigid hands,
And pulls me into an embrace
Silent and stoic, it holds me
Into the darkest night
A clandestine meeting
With no end in sight
