Smile
and strip my skin
to bare-puddle bleed,
Gracing fine, an altar
of reddest concrete.
Breathe deep like desire
for soul burn and rash-
Scorch me as wet fire
in rain-spattered clash.
Smile
and cleanse me
with barest of touch,
I opine your power-
feed hungry...
(often and much)
Scent me with nostrils
that seperate souls-
I jump in heavy,
don't like to be cold.
Smile
and warm me-
my strength has all fled.
Grant me your altar darkest-
in soothing monotones of red.

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Passionate plea, dear devina, that can't be ignored as it's quite compelling!

This had me sighing and sighing and sighing ...
Why did it end so soon.
Great big hug.  Jaime

This write is like a magic egg
that only gets more and more vivid with each reread.
It makes we want to follow
Your instruction, your command
To intersperse your monotones in unison with mine,
To move in synchronie,
to cleanse, to warm, to breathe to vocalize, to smile.
(Though it is "just" f fantasie)
Yet it is mine to reread,
As many times to show me I am wanted, I am loved.
Did I forget to leave a smile?
:-----------)
I know, its just what you do
But thank you!
JM
