Starlight Woods To lay my head upon the softness of home I would carry, by the bundle, all your traveled miles Setting landmarks at the cross roads in sated longing Coming to the edge of a dark and lonely time All the right turns have been made and mounted Even carousel emotions unwound from musical note Sliding down from the painted ponies in the lead To my own wobbled legs, stretched and firmly toned Looking up to the sky, here I cannot deny my heart Ever curious, to explore the rapture of a dreamed destiny Collecting the sticks for the great room as I go Allowing plan to steep, within deeply colored arms In the clearing, unfurling bedroll, I push stones Layering the center hearth by my hands and my wishes Making a gift worthy of your eyes, heaven’s compromise Blue, in it’s midnight lace makes magic of warm regard As I undress, contented with a hand hewed cupboard drawer The moonlight is my mirror glowing my skin in silver smile I have waited for your footsteps on the patient trail Deeper, as you trek beyond the wind into my starlight woods Copyright Kkh 4/30/06 |

"I would carry, by the bundle, all your traveled miles" I love the jewels you stow away in your poems TD. I covet them too. |
