Christmas Eve with You

sitting on a bed of chicory with somewhat rough edges
lungs turning sap syrupy, alive with village children
honey gold columns leaning close, twinkling in fleshless air
red & green coverlet pillows, a harlequin dream in motionless stare
high-postured reindeer, strut frames around cinnamon scents
fireside berry of bright crimson, crackle like clairvoyant yellow gumdrops

with pulse swimming, I lay my face on your emerald breast
hands innocent, stroking my lips, flares red with shyness
yet wanton for you to make my flesh braid & burn
while my eyelashes, flutter against warm beading skin
yours….

A flame from somewhere deep inside screams
devour me now, as you promised, you see
call me desire in your mouth, bringing me home in the dark
hold me to you, like a delicate egg about to burst
in the breath of your endearments calling out my name
gather me up in your arms, like a green eyed student of love
caramelized sweat, drips like agony melding into yours

in my eyes, you recite the moon
And
I am still weeping from the “I am” you allow me to have
to vocalize, my sweet mile to the east
together we look deep into the greenery of the valley
sitting in some white shadow of Christmas eyes
we are interconnected and famished for life
we look toward the village of scattered lights
and realize all the half hopes have come to mature
on the voice of a Christmas song
we are paralyzed in this consciousness
all night long


I have "NO" idea what made me write this…?????
Perhaps a Christmas wish?

Wow hope it's not snowing where your at because your snowman might melt with the opening on this poem. Loved it! Seems to me during the holidays Our hearts yearn more than usual. Did a great job with your describtion. Definetly got my imagination going


Are you talking about me here? I do live in the Sacramento Valley hehe

I am still weeping from the “I am” you allow me to have
to vocalize, my sweet mile to the east
together we look deep into the greenery of the valley

Whew!  Quite some heat in this LeeJ but beautiful, beautiful, heat.  It's the master in you that wrote it for you to believe that it is indeed a wish - a wish of surrender to a woman's essential nature kept at bay by the enemy "life".

"clairvoyant yellow gumdrops"

When mind is all we are left with, I want to be somewhere in the vicinity of yours!
