sonnet #21

oranges at midnight with a splash of Perrier

spread about your kitchen with the utmost of care

you tell me your adventures and the good things of your day

don't you mind the time; we stay up late as we can dare

wine on your front porch under the pale light of moon

pointing out constellations that dance among the sky

tell me all the meanings of each celestial rune

Polaris shines so brightly in the grey clouds going by

we go into your bedroom with the evening hours fleeing

the morning comes much sooner than either of us would like

massaging all the troubles and worries from your being

sends you gentle slumber and heals my entire pysche

we wake up and we part but we will see each other soon

be it by dusk or by dawn, by the sun or by the moon
