Queries of Nape

In those last pounding seconds before the sky gives forth its tears
When the full cheeks of clouds, puckered with longing held at bay
If the rounded swell of your lips, where the ridge of a grand canyon
Would you hover there an endless moment, swallowing the breeze?
Pursed to fall with me into the chasm of an endless beginning

Might there be music more profound, as to guide our steps
Arching energy between the outlines of our outstretched hearts
If the spark took race within your blood, shining out through firelight eyes
Could you cover as a shadow cloak, the farthest fringes of my destiny?
Spread across the moonlit map, drawn out in your reflection

Might we be the lilting motion of lashes clearing view as wheat in the sun?
Moving hills and streams with delicate power murmured to the wind
Could we speak in stories of gold highlights and rosebuds?
Perfect in articulation, just as the flower to the bee
Turn a sculpted trail in scents of ecstasy

These are thoughts that glisten to the softest palpable rain
Showering about my mind, the towel dry of once again
As lunacy is the language of a kiss, tasted radiant red
Just in those pounding seconds when my heart and soul are fed

... tiptoeing out silently and in deep reverence of your beauty, after lingering in the atmosphere you so masterfully created here. You have unveiled the sacredness of being, dear Kathleen.

Love,
