Love sonnet

It is in my conscious stream to speak of restricted words

the kind, that hang off  your two separate lips quietly

that usually hold hands in that scrutinizing silence

the beauty of these two things my eyes find hard to hold

 

may you come to me on blazed days, and shivered nights

with the wisdom of owls, and teach me all the things life has taught you

and show me your scars from that faint childhood

and tell me about the beautiful lands you wish to immerse your body into

 

 

may I be blessed enough, that you - glorious you

sacrifice your time to simply stare at the immense turquoise of the sea with me

the veins in a leaf, the memories written on tomb stones

 

I hope to figure out the secret paths of your garden labyrinth

to find your white beaches and leave but a footprint upon the shore of your inner arms

 

at night, I find the most joy in asking you to look at the stars

for when met with your eyes, they burn brighter and become shy with your beauty

they scatter and hide behind each other. The moon envies me.

She dances in the sky

gloriously.  

 

your hair unravels like a bush of silk

harmoniously tasseled out in the sun and when you smile

fruits of labor fall off the corners of your comely mouth

all of natures most passionate things are instilled in you

you are every season of the year

every phase of the moon and rotation of the sun

the rain that I stand under

the waterfall I fall asleep too

the immense darkness of the night that inspires me

 

your eyes taut, like black diamonds - your tears benitoite

even that from you is something to be admired

I wish to be a leafless tree standing somewhere

in the outskirts of your world
