on a plane

morning sunlight shining,
rising from linen horizon;
breaking the bonds
of moonbathed bodies
and lamplit lovers

her smile
her breath
her hair,
everywhere

(i love the cool fresh breeze of waking
and that first ray of daylight)
and her voice is like the early birdsongs...

and the day brightens with the hour

laughter and hopes and dreams
and promises...
chapels, and books,
and little white townhouses...

the new growth of spring
blossoms from concrete
city blocks

boquets of the earth
sprinkle petals at her footsteps
as she passes by

in holy white gown
trimmed in delicate
silver lace

a lilly in my valley

her face
her scent
my flower

stars of the night sky reflect dimly
that twinkle in your painted eyes
when the silken veil falls to the floor
and passion drinks of milky smooth skin

my heart beat
my pulse
her lullaby
our song

and the circle turns one more time

a week of days crammed
in a blink of history and buried
in the blankets of a lonely bed

so i lie alone
on a still, quiet pillow
wrestling with old dreams

and waiting for sunrise

Derrick....

A lovely lovely.

A keeper, beneath tossed pillows...
a whisper in winds
a breath of remember...
