Kissed Soft I wish I was more eloquent in describing things like why words hide in the darkness of throats or why blood defies gravity when it thinks of silky fragrances only one, kind of flower can emit and why you, rain wet when your finger unlocks the gate to the eye, of your sigh clone in the ache, of your joy. These months of minutes, how they roll by on my tongue unseasoned, a rise without fall a mix without spring a winter without some her, an ought, without him. How come the tree ties on a new wardrobe every time its clothes decide to leave, and why do its roots walk in moccasins made, of serpentine conceive. This northern breeze blows sweet across me and through the throbbing of my raised skin terrain. It feasts on the pine and covet, of my sustenance chewing on the bark of my watering bite. Why does this air, wind around my fingers like the arms of a timepiece sucking the see, and the salt, from my clock. Tight clenched silk caress scream, on your smile dripping like dewdrops on gilded chantilly. How does someone become so infatuated, with another that they know they will ever only, meet in dream. Are they the sand to our hole unfulfilled, or are they the drapes to a window that make us, come pleat. Or are they simply the other side of the mirror that hides all their thoughts gazing back at us through this blissful pane, of reflection. How come love has to be so, definitive? Why can’t it ever just godamn be? Like earth and heaven and sky and, you. How many letters, does one have to combine to find the right key that opens, a heart? Let this avowal, be the password that releases, your safeguard. Allow the constant of my consonance catch you, with allure. Let the common of my nouns surround you, in uncommon veil lore. Let the verbs of my vigor lick, your vivaciousness. I want you to be the may to my December so here, and tomorrow we may always, remember. That moment in time when smile, came easy. And thoughts of affection kissed soft, in the wind. |

if you see a head bobbing up and down in the distant swells, worry not Lori.. it is just I, wading forever.. in your blue ripples, as well.. oh btw.. i'm not a very good swimmer, so I might need a hug to keep me from drowning.. but then holding my breath is something I've come accustomed to.. You too sweet friend.. xo |
