Wait
There's something coming

A twinkle somewhere far away
A sparkle in the distance
You'd always run for it notwithstanding
All the pain and hurt for falling

Maybe the caricatures were true enough
Maybe you were always crying
Maybe I never saw it real
Or maybe you really were lying

Yesterday

I felt the first whips of cotton
breath on my philtrum
dancing into my nostrils
piercing my mind

Whitewash and mild breeze
I turned my head and tried
******* in an inhalation
baring my teeth

Grit
and noise
Burn
and shatter
Divulge
and scream
Tears
and blood

Time
flowing beyond my veins
into the abyss of eternity
eternity

Treading softly they
smuggled into my soul
pandoras of guilt
giving me brief glints

Underneath some semi-heavy sandalphon wings
grime and some dusty tomes
undulating like streams and whispering waves
I spotted the angel star
Like every snow fall I had before.

The lines on her flesh
The slightly closing eyes
The breath
Just barely

Everyday I'd wait for you at the top of the stairs
Hiding in the shadows as the morning glare peeked through
Shining on the boxes that I had stacked up in the night
While I gnawed on my hunger

You'd come up for several minutes
Whisper to me in our stolen time
Let me smell you all over in brief embraces
And then leave

Moments in the breaks of my lightwatch
Nights and the descent of the wolves on the hunt
The scent of dusk and the ever blinking stars
And the creaking of bicycles treading through the woods

I'd look you all over in the darkness of the moon
Taste the weariness through the souls in our eyes
Mildew and the chirps of homecoming birds
Warming our bodies in unison

The whips of sunshine would come again
We'd scramble away from each other
Dislodging our joints and other such things
Tightening the knots

Every fragment I'd wait for your silhouette
Luminance granting me brief glimpses
Drawn through the curtains of prying eyes
And the numerous opuses creasing our hearts

The dots of Orion in the amber snow
Greeting our hands and chalking the rain
Pyres of pain make the distances scarce
And burrowing in my chest we'd sit
Burning in the ashes of twilight.

The butterflies take off
The oceans swell and crash
Trenches dissolving into sand

The forest bursts with splendour
All the delights of the world
Shining the glory of the day

Buds just before the bloom
Breathing through their succulent lips
Peeking out into the sun

The eyes of the storm meet
Colliding and merging together
Sharing their inner peace

And the cores of the universe
Kissing into all energy
Melding from the warmth

Light from the ever-earth
Motions of life from within
And no tangible darkness.

Take off your clothes, you said

Morning
The light simmering in
Sneaking up on our sleeping souls
Waking us gently
Making you moan

The breeze
Through the boughs that we
Had spent the night rocking all over
In jubilation
Quietly

Meandering
The streams washing off
The dirt and grime of our happiness
Rolling down
Evanescent

And the moon
Lighting our nights
And the next nights
And the ones after
Ever smiling

I could close my eyes
Lose them
Feel only your breath
Peeling at my skin
And the scent of love
Creeping around me

How I could deny my infatuation
In the arms of the goddess
Joyfully lulling me to sleep

The ice on the river thins
and it's time to go home

We'd always take the longer way home
Entwining our scarves together and holding hands
Only parting at the crossroads, when I'd stand on the mound
And watch as you skipped away.

The barn and its hay
Always tickled my nose
Its rats climbing the walls easily
While we giggled beneath their posteriors

Holidays in the summer when
Fields bathed in the sunset scorched our heads
Bellies full of peaches and innocent love
And the little kisses we'd give

The rain pours through the leaves and
We find the roots of an old tree
Sit to huddle together and sneeze
Licking the water off each other

Bliss and yesterdays
Treats to my heart
While I sit here and wait
Wait for something to happen
Wait for you to come back
As I watch you skip away.

We went stargazing yesterday
The prairies of light shining our way
Watching the comets and the sky rise
But I always prefer watching you

The clouds buffeted and the birds whistled
Their pathways home lighted by the dusk
As shimmers of light sparkled in our eyes
Illuminating our souls together

Then the aurora spread its essence
Beacons of hope exploding in our hearts
Waves of trepidation gave way to awe
And the hammers of reality ceased

For a few moments in life I think
Tamed by nature and spoiled by love
Echoes of my memories resound in your head
As we watch the dyeing world coloured by rain.
