Static Magic flows over the rocks on
your hand, what holds your heart together?
When I dance, you follow my body, counting
the minutes as if you were losing me in hours,
stopping my rhythm to see me climb into
your face where you blind me with charm

Bound through chill, icy winds rage, captured
under small breaths of your gentle perfume
while the north wind tangles with the moonlight
we dance in our mingled lips as lovers, friends
your voice strokes my ears and a smile echos
from my eyes to my chin, marking you as my target
~
A thin line of clothes seperate us
dancing in our mingled lips as lovers,
follow the feel, growing like a child
feeding on your womanly flesh
dripping safely away, we shelter
our best cadences for tomorrow.
~
April scours winter with gray sponge
clouds blotting ice chilled in broken glasses
served under the amber light of a
poet's spring poem, felled greater
than an old oak tree in a storm
crushing the whys of change.
~
Your promises drift in bubbles
blown by a child's breath through
red puckered lips, bursting with
no sound, no recollection, just
rainbow circles fading under a
warming spring sun ignoring your words.

Even with insects-
some can sing
some can't

-Issa
