Early summer
Makes love to Gods no longer worshiped
Anointed deep green voices
Holding long stemmed roses…red
Lifting me along the fog, in girl-like frolic
Paying homage to nights when the moon is full
Like a movie of discerning passions
With a fragrance of mahogany sail boats
Bobbing to the music of memorization
Life force, gifts a standing ovation
Sensitive to the pitter patter of your approach
I grew up with love brushing my teeth
Meeting my eyes, touching my body’s
Slow features and mind
Wandering by Venetian waterways
With a licensed whirl…centered
Spun from pure gold…
Never loosing sight of late afternoon light
A marriage of consequence and decency
Voices caring, airborne and mysterious
Shining in appreciative gaze
Like drinking from heaven’s pewter
Where a gondola maneuvers us expertly
Through silken waters of you…
An anonymous footstep approaches
Perfect in the warm darkness
Sliding naked against my soul
Against my unbuttoned white camisole
Feeling like an old favorite candle
You…
Explaining the French menu
And from that telling moment
We became the numbed squeezed hand
Of a pathway burning….
I was sold unto your slavery
Where we will both pay for our future
Deft and subtle as a kitten
Curling up unto the silhouette of morning’s due
With the right hand side of light
Absorbing the left hand side of confessionals
Kneeling down…into the nave of a soft plan
Called….what is….without question

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
