This time of year her eyes show greyer
And her dress a lace of orange and red shows enough of her limbs
To entice a marvel of the way humorous supports the ulna
Or how the elbow bends against limestone’s mottled rust
Letting veins of her glisten in wet sheen of sun come late afternoon

Early morning and her pupils dilate wide to let in what stars provide
And I can look into the depths of her shadows to see how
The mystery of seasons has left marks upon the old Sycamore
She has watered for the century or so it has stood as silent guard
To the pool where she pauses to rest
Before spreading thin again along the slick shelf with a laugh
Teasing from under stone the words left there long ago
As round vowel seduction of dreams

I’ve lain in her bed and let her cover me
Feeling the smooth of her skin slide softly against mine
Until lost in the breath of her I succumbed to faith and fell in love
All the while knowing  I could not hold her as my own
Or stop the change of tide that pulled her with passing moon

Some few hours of passing time and the colours of her iris
Shift again to browner hues that hold warmth that few might know
When the wind shifts and she covers her bare with the drift of cloud
But at me she smiles sardonically
For I have worn her naked on my thigh
And known the pleasures of her caress just as I have seen her rage
Being left too wise for illusions that sky brings
With passing shade

Soon the lace she wears will be changed for gown
And with a placid shrug she will seek dreams among the drift of sleep
But when she might rouse from slumber to take a lover to her breast
I will see the flecks of slow green sparkle in her eyes
And remember how it was
When she was
Warm

It is ever so hard to pick out a
favored line...

and each is better than one's most
favored foodstuff...

bite after nibble after bite,
I relished the taste of this
upon my tongue. Even the soft sound
of all of this tastes good.

No one writes "blue" quite the way you do.

Awesome as always!
