Only You

One Love

____

Water fills her eyes.

Blood drains from his face.

A ghost of kisses haunting two hearts.

Breath of lust and pre-love stolen at midnight in rasta house party.

Never to see each other again except in our minds and hearts.

Signs

...

watching for signs

massaging the softest wool

my mouth to your mouth

I read the lips of David

And bless your body down.

Only You

I prose for you

only

I art just for

you

Teach me to taste

your lament

Runnng clear through my verse

Oh you

Yes you

I poem for you

only

I circle your soul

an impatient

moth

 no fear of the

flame

I light into your

being

swallow your pain

inhale the   goodness

in you

you've forgotten

my ink

my blood

scribbling into your

heart

for I

poem for you

Only.

fallen things

always remain faithful

to the fall

scars define each

broken window

then

in late summer

each bruise a

communion wafer

slips into the bloodstream

selfbent to survive.

disquiet

holding my heart to myself

I hide behind a curtain of glasses and hair

whispers of all of me into a day filled with clouds and no mercy

make me walk circles around my life until I wear away softly

softly slowy smooth into my body

folding and unfolding   feari and love

 I love this quiet

turned on by the sound of my breathing

unfolding unfolding

into my life again

surrending my heart to the world again

hoping I am much better at love this time

my hair trembles

in new air
