a lonely grimace
resounds across symbology
like a twelve foot physic
dabbing my mouth again with
a tiny blown glass rose
in main atrium depth
sneaking a peek
of sunshade outside a
tavern on the green
bathing in such heat,
plunging
me into daylight
with strong
shapely hands

there, i look at the ring
sparkling upon your smile

launching an odyssey transcendent
like espresso mocking birds
hanging onto a door which
once whistled fluty notes
upon the breeze
with a maddening
persistence
of a now palm leaf fan
where i sleep...
just to take a look at you
again
that everlasting
voice of sea
in spiritual lullaby,
uplifting
soft hours,
biting me
firm upon my flesh

it is then
the strange and familiar
laments
delicious syrups of ample
atonement
like a law of society
yet to be learned...
composed by a baby grande

but we were home spun golden eyes
then
were we not?
before insidious deadly cold
found its way
through key holes
of summer garments

you
are inborn and unmistakably
that
freedom of expression
prostrating itself
in my soul
like cologne water
with
imagination of endearments

from such beginnings
conforms outward
like physical charm
sliping into the depth
of life’s pockets
in noble poise & movement

Lee,

you always amaze with the gift you have of taking words and twisting them in your palms.

but we were home spun golden eyes
then
were we not?
before insidious deadly cold
found its way
through key holes
of summer garments


that whole stanza is mind blowing.

I agree with Sue, LeeJ.
