they watched the sky’s children

over flashing threads of white

ravaged under frisky trees

ardor burned like anthracite

–

warlock thunder shook the ground

giggling rain did her ballet

one exquisite touch

they rose above the fray

–

they watched the sky’s children

over flashing threads of white

they exploded into stars

and travelled jealous night

will christmas come again

green on the door

kitchen with laughter

things as before

–

her long silver chain

draped fierce and tall

things forever alter

loss kisses all

–

the windows were open

sugar breeze so wild

sunlight drenched the hills

she looked at him

and smiled

she had a gorgeous wicked

her walk a vertical snake

she owned any king

ate their hearts like

melting cake

-

the planet was her palace

in silk and moroccan lace

she left wakes of desire

with devastating grace

-

he saw her one day

skin like diamond cream

her eyes caught his like fire

now she owned

his dream
