He is the universe
Expressed as a human
And I can only hope that,
One day,
The universe will love me back

I was high on flowers
But ready to inhale winter

she slides her slender
white fingers down the
branches of his spine

her eyes melted like
glaciers and lips as soft
as freshly fallen snow

skin lustful, but heart
unforgiving, exhaling
his every intention

she is autumn in his
palms, her trees bare,
the leaves rust fallen

flashing indifference,
thoughts plucked in
shades of violent rose

I kissed you
Among the tangled grape vines
Now I sip sweet wine,
Taste the tang of your lips,
And I am reminded
Of our tangled love

I thought I could
hear the roses
smell the colors
taste the fire
see the halos
control the mind
kiss the storm
touch the prayers
swallow the lies
hold the centuries
and
escape the world
