when i wake

Some One
in the Kitchen
boiling Water 
Beside me

with a Light on
with a warm Voice
with a Penchant 
for Chai tea 

wanting Details
frOm my dreaming
so to Use them
Against me

Sandra 

Conquer me in my sleep. Invade my dreams. My right thigh has flexed 
in preparation for battle.

I know you can do this, I know that you’re more than soft, broad feathers on your outside.

I am afraid. Kiss the fear from me -you have my permission. Then slay me with what I must learn.

Chalk

I’ve a way
With the word of your name
Tends towards teasing
With serious style
Leaves my lips 
Rides on wind 
Lands like dust on your skin
Sounds like a Canadian smile

Why I Do

The notion of if I’m alive
I test and poke every day
Here is the truth that I say

The pleasure I give 
Through kisses I steal
The footprints I leave
While helping hearts heal

The breath of a loved one
Warm-cold on my back
The hug with a dear friend
That cuts bright through the black

The fondness on faces
As they think of me
The writings I scribble
Of all I need see

The softness I send
For years without end
Is how I prove I’m alive, dear friend

Final Breeze

I have love
For the sunrise
Of a place I’ve never seen
A place that doesn’t know my eyes exist
But believes they must

It must be enough that I wake daily 
With the vision of my beloved 
And not the warmth
When I feel the final breeze
I want none other light in my eyes
