The Wet Side of a Weather Map

I’m wild with the wet side
of a weather map
trussed up and rolled
with leaves

The sheets melt around me
in a singular glory
taking the grime from the lock
that held back the racing

The night is lit with magic dark
and even the edge crumbles
purple and full of fire
lost in the giving

I am meeting it in every room
like a cookie without a child
the sexy inside of a skinless plum
it is oh so sweet

You just lit the night with magic dark.
You created a magical moment.

I have been wondering how you are, Martie!

But I see you are in rare form, poetess, with your enchanting alchemy and sweetness casting it's spell on a royal night!  Cookies, indeed, without a child.

Do note this
as one of those
that must lie between
the covers
of that someday book.

Yes.

As others have said...magical! Such startlingly real imagery.

You've gone wrong! You've gone wrong in your mind-tank!

What Karilea said..oh yes!
Simply magical!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.
