Was a fifth
into the season
when your walls
became cluttered
with backgrounds of cartons,
the leafless dark windows
crying out
for their christening

you were fresh to the town
pants frayed and loneley eyed,
slowly unpacking
the storms of a past life

I gave you 5 candles
a brown bag of yuengling
and 2 or 3 ribbons
of welcome and
come dance with me

we spread our desires
on the scratched parquet floors
where we chisled my heels
as I nailed on all fours

i guess I slept late
when the crosswinds
blew round again
in a courting of foliage
in the color
of carnivals

as I froze in those months
of cold moons
and brisk symphonies
when we spackled
our portraits
in the blanks
of the ink spots

and my tippy toe pleas
of 'stay warm' and
keep in touch with me"

but it halted
on walls,
waterwashed
in lukewarm

though im wishing
mood, whimsical
about painting them
pretty,
all dots reconnected
in a summertime
sizzle.

Ah ....

"i gave you 5 candles
a brown bag of yuengling
and 2 or 3 dashes
of welcome and
come dance with me"

That, m'lovely, is the grandest welcome.

It's been so long since I've had some of that, I may have to MOVE--near you.

Beautiful!

Very cool stylish write, this brings out the yin and the yang of emotion... which is always a good thing, much enjoyed, a keeper.

Michinki. You unbutton the windows with bare fingers that still taste like you just licked them. A treat to read your wounds!

Lovely as always, Michele.  I hope that those dots do get (re)connected in a summertime romance!

Especially love those lines up there.
You and your writing gets better all the time.

Nice one, good goddess~

Definitely what everyone else has already said- creative, unique, expressive.
