the first rays of morning light
tip-tap at eyes lidded with stardust.

remnants of galaxies tumble off onto pillows as
fox-hair lashes blink
open to greet the shining face before them
and close again to feel:

the weight of steady arms encompassing
a body melting into feathers,
the even ascending and receding
of an open chest upon bare shoulders,
the gentle breeze breathing from
one face to its lover's,
the warmth of capillaries whispering secrets
across porous boundaries of skin,
the pulsing signals of a heart's morse code
teaching the process of recognition,
the subtle scent of complexities
compounded in spiritual intimacy,
the longing to stay suspended in early hours of sun
inside the tranquil essence of another's being.

Excuse my bliss-trance
I've been seduced by the fragrant floral pheromones flooding the air,
The lilac-laced wind has wrapped my lips in splendor and
Left my eyes heavy lidded hazy
Enraptured gazing at the velvet vulvas of lilies.
The blossoming world casts it's spell of subtle sensuality
And I am left stunned in a stupor,
Heart oozing out of my orifices,
Falling in love with everything I see
Simply because it exists.
I'll caress every snapdragon to uncover it's mysterious caverns,
Stretch to kiss the slender necksĀ of tulips,
And weave violets into my crown so our essences intertwine.
My collarbone is blushing crimson
And my head is drained of reason -
Tis the season for romantic abandon.

do not forget
about the ten foot fire roaring in your chest
or the electric current pulsing through your fingertips.
you carry all the wild power of the crashing sea and
the earth's molten core burning splendor below your feet.
you contain the potency
of one thousand volcanoes in simultaneous eruption,
you wield the fervor of tsunamic destruction,
and hold the clout of countless suns.
you are an unrestrained cosmic undulation
shooting etherial bolts of lightning.
leaving trails of stardust in your wake,
you plant seeds of galaxies where the ground splits in after-quake.
you speak castles into the sky
and summon purple moons to dance by your side.
you, are a fearsome mystic darling -
remember this when you awaken each morning.

{if you would let me:}

i want to unlock the steadiness of your hands and the tranquility of that knowing gaze,
unfurl the scroll tucked deep inside your ribcage and
set a metronome to the beat drumming in your chest.
i want to decode the secrets folded up in the corners of your crooked smile and chant them mixed into sacred hymns -
gibberish and syllogism.
i want to feel the electricity pulsing vigorously in your tempest
and the crack-crack-BOOM visceral quake of thunder shaking at the edges of understanding.
i want to chisel at the surface of your caverns 'til the exterior gives way and the inner waters surge through.
i want to stand waist-deep soaking in the river
and learn the intricacies of its currents,
the way it flows over-into-through itself and smooths jagged surface.
i want to hear the song of its roaring waves and whisper harmony into the wind,
trailing my fingertips along the waterbed
i'll spin with whirlpools spontaneous.
i want to hold the heavy earth between my palms,
and let the sandy subtleties slip through the cracks.
i want to caress the faces of rock formations crafted
by the weathering of decades as a blind man discovering through ardent touch...

meditating on intimate geography, i'll construct a map to the sacred space where our spirits meet
overlapping in synchronicity.
and if you commune with me there,
i'll uncover the mysterious universe bursting forth in me, and we
can learn how to integrate our corners of infinity.

endless drip-drop-plopping pling-pop puddles pooling over
their self-constructed boundaries,
spilling into rainbow chem-drip paintings on the darkened pavement,
melting into unseen hues of wetness.
the super-saturated ground continues to collect the leaking of the sky,
compiling samples of the potions spilling from clouds who gathered too much magic to hold onto by themselves.
bustling busy-bodies cower under fabric roofs,
only to be barraged by rising tidal waves rolling at their feet,
sneaky splattering from dirt sick of being stomped upon.
under the cover of brick and mortar
searching eyes are stuck staring out blurred window-panes,
hypnotized by the water-works and
feeling nostalgia for a time when they lived under the sea,
evolutionary longing for ancestral roots that escape understanding.
entranced by the suspended flight and splendid crash landing of
parachute droplets sent through a long descent as singular entities
to dissolve back into a homogenous being at the end of the journey -
separating and reconvening, reforming and dissipating.
drip-drop drip-drop all the same,
everything as everything else under the guise of arbitrary names,
dripping-drop plopping in watery refrain,
I am the same as you are the same as we are the same as the drip-dropping rain.

metal mountain majesty,
rest your weary bones with me.
calling all concrete angels to the streets
time has come for spirit and sky to meet.
transmutation of me to infinity,
intimate touch inspires divinity so
treat the porcupine souls with an extra kiss,
remind their soft underbelly of the
strength hidden in bare skin vulnerability and knowledge from within.
there, there delicate dandelion,
keep finding cracks in the sidewalk
to push up through,
beauty and life will follow you even into
the unforgiving jaws of iron gods
that rip bone from sinew.
and remember:
all life is but cosmic comedy,
the universe giggling in paradoxical remedies
riddling harmony in a discordant key
unfolding rigid arms into gentle giving -
notice the earth's truth still living
in the metallic city.

the wispy whiteness draped over the dome of the sky traps in the monstrous feelings loosed from their cages towards the heavens,
reflecting ghoulish mirrors
and refracting the light into saturated hues and heavy-soaked textured clues,
misty condensation of mis-matched questions and answers
muttered to no one in particular,
holding everything in the capsule with dewy fingers slipping at the pocket-knife edges and broken oak branches,
the bark is drunk on acid rain humming oh danny boy again and again,
the clouds are so convinced they love the asphalt
that the whole host has descended from perching atop the dome to bless the wedding of fog to pavement,
croaking bullfrogs make harmonies with the swoosh-swoosh swoosh-swoosh of tires running over rolling over pouring over the beaten concrete creases squeaking teases of open-air releases,
the whole world simultaneously holds it's breath and sighs,
as countless pairs of eyes haze over
in wistful wanting piqued by a wet world.
