you were so deep at times I envied and
hated even as we made love in the pecan grove
as the twisted old limbs grew above
our green land

I read your bodies words with  soft hands
waited for you to  to climb up in ecstasy
to meet me there in zen and heaven's
lost last Eden and our discovery

became my quest my destiny
my goal , my breath, my whole
only to look up  one day
to see the  depth of your soul

fly away like an apostle or angel
and your wings caught my heart
lifted my breath away my soul
into the forest where dreams are.
