The pink places he
kissed on her body
opened up the way
flowers do in the
season of spring.
And the fluids that
came out looked
like morning dew
on the petals before
the sunshine pours
down and dries them
off drop by drop* ~

He gave me strength.
He gave me life. He
gave me the label of
becoming his number
one wife. I gave him
love. I gave him poetry.
Most of all I gave him
my heart and past history.
In order to make him know
who I was and who have
I become after the day
we met and he wrapped
me in his loving arms* ~

Back from Russia

it is summer and even the grasses
start to wither in the dry heat.

i am broken like
an old iron gate,
i have ornate scrolls and twisting
roses.

in the long, hot hours,
the sea roars softly
and i long for you
wrapped into the hollows of the sun.

little pieces of me gathered into
you scattered like a
blue sky.

little pieces and i know i am only
of fragments and love.

She floated down
    on a shimmering
  moonbeam
       and my eyes
    saw starlight
         glowing in her
   cosmic smile
        as perfect love
       orbited my
                heart
          and the
               universe
                     *became ours
