Salient There must be water to make steam Gray has reined impatiently for days Full cheeked, spouting deluge, then drizzle Only to be dried by the soft smile of the sun In and out of time, skipping record, fall’s behind Wondering if there is a clear decision left Too long, restricted to the sidewalk of a casual glance Turning with the leaves, to my own colors bright I need you here with me tonight, a space for only us Unimpaired by the restraint of surface platitude Disappointment is but the tail of a comet, in betrayal’s latitude Let me love with my whole heart, my all and nothing less Listen to the whispers of my warrior spirit; the moons digress The Huntress hums in burgundy gown on clover bed Never to harm a moment made red in the autumn sunset Looking down upon my own appointed form, I fear touch Insincere, the fumbling flash of harsh, abrasive hands Eloquent, the nomenclature friend but why would one pretend? A checkpoint in between the chasing of perceived victories In as much as intimate could be known or sought in emptiness Listen, listen to the depths of the love I wish to give Watch me blossom ‘fore your eyes, this dream to live There must be water to make steam, fire in the scheme Let love be all that it is, and nothing less…nothing less Copyright Kkh 10/09/06 |

"The Huntress hums in burgundy gown on clover bed" and "Watch me blossom ‘fore your eyes, this dream to live" oh yes TD this is delicious... |
