wildflower honeydrops

rain from the sky.



your wings catch them,

******* them dry,

******* the

caramelized-love

you and i share.



she is buttered with

cocoa, with almonds,

with dry seeds of

pomegranates that

sink their way into the



sun-soaked river,

rosewater bleeding

into your skin, memories

flowing along with the

fuchsia flowers that

bake their ways into

vanilla-creamed

frosting.



stars of

crystallized honey lay

warm on my thighs;

the gooey butterscotch

picks up the stars,

throws them into the

sugared black coffee above

me.



he curls his fingers

around peppermints that

sprout from

leaves of minted

rich chocolate, his

mouth growing

calm from cooling

springtime that

fades into a deep,

strawberry-burst

summer.
