clouds burst
heavy dew
wetness
on my lips

liquid sunshine
fall mist
condensation
on my chest

HS

i can taste 
the moon
cold crater 
of you

At dusk I can see myself alive
In your pupils
Floating inside the blue bands
The little piece of sky you keep hidden
As I take in your skin...your neck
Smells like the moisture on a dirt floor
After you carry the embers of this city
Under my covers
I unravel into a a million honest pieces
Watching you come towards me
because your nights climb my spine
and this bed is too big
For the rope that we wind

16.10.17

with my head in the ground
i listen to the
movement; the dark 
i need my conscious
to feel the way you lie  
beside me 
recessed by waves
(grey)
bound by glass 
(stone)
dignity  
i am the sea
capable of leaving
and instead choosing 
to be 

our breath of a gem
unmentionable
sweetened 
delicacy

closely 
i mind you
in the obscurity of protection 
i see the lover on your knees
i see the nectar hidden in your cheeks
i see the placement of your eyelids
that keep me safely
in positions reach  

arched 
hold me 
in the sky
heavens made of reason
undeniable
your aim  
   elegance is in the weak   


*  

your footing
captured 
my eyes
intwined
the tie between us
entangled
fastened to the other 
under obligation
of nothing
neither of us

resolve 
take
another
look
  
this will 
not become
until
you and me
catch each other
come further near
place yourself
within 
my nature

i have learned to piece debris from whatever washes ashore to build driftwood and rocks into intricate gardens there are times i cry and sink roots although keeping my eyes close i am pragmatic and adept sacrificing that which rubs to snip away at these tangled love knots where new growth can flourish stretching from old scars i am surprised by the volunteer who suddenly appeared disrupting my orderly planting bed blooming his heart out

when you look at me

stars erupt 
wind blown
a kingdom is built
larks frame 
mountains sway
shiver
tremor
stagger
heart batter

 be still. be calm.
