In The Weight of Your Stare Whisper then, the particles of ambivalent starlight Flowing off your lips, in glistening ice chips, where I shower until dawn Meant to be cool, in the backhand of my warm gaze, melted into rain Oh thoughtful love, such bravado makes its muscles through your shirt Flexing me al dente, as we move in breathless dance through time The sharp edge of my intellect persuades me to take care And I have known since the first day that you alone provoke Every satin thought in petals on my pillow Each chapter that has turned remains innocent pages where blossoms press Somehow more defined and fortuitous than finished Where now the blush on my body reminds the sun to shine That I may note the cold, and place in thought your hand to transform it And as you read my words, and feel the music of my voice make song It is the presence of this deep and mighty bond that tarries not the wind But more the fan of some unwavering eternal flame Sent first from above, to reside in my soul and rally then the dark of evening bliss Whisper then, the quivered softness weighted in your kiss To be my quench and craving, every rippled leaf renewed and waiting As joy is our creation, draped upon me in the weight of your stare Copyright Kkh 5/2/09 |

Powerfully subtle are the touches and knowledge you pen so skillfully here. That the chapters of innocence are still be written is a tremendous metaphor to tribute love and joy. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder! ~ Klassy |

this one is a real beauty...you have displayed your soul here...I really loved these lines: "Every satin thought in petals on my pillow Each chapter that has turned remains innocent pages where blossoms press Somehow more defined and fortuitous than finished" |
