Dear Flower, I thought,
please kiss him from me – but no
– yours is most perfect.
The attempt to describe what must only be felt will, at best, leave one longing for proof
It’s the warm, vintage light and the welcome white noise -eager footsteps not shuffling to greet you
There’s the “thank-you-God” eyes and the rules about kisses that apply to goodbyes and hellos
The dinner hour near, it is time to give chase to the table, for the smell of the sauce does compel
Do you picture the taste, do you sense the good love, do you dare touch the gifts from above
I left the light on, my account is not wrong, but again, you must feel for yourself
Find me dancing, pointed East
Join me ’til we touch the West
Ice-bound North to shifting lights
We bare our shoulders heading South
You spicy rivers, flowing black
Oh peaky, jutting majesties
Please, in-betweens dusted with grit
And sweaty moss, hold fast my hand
Finest of bridges
Span the space from HOPE to joy
Intrigue, LOVE, then home
