April love

Raining dew

upon the rose

of my eyes

rainbow dreams

nestled within

pink an’ purple wishes

labyrinth

the walls of my mind…

 
Fingers an’ tides of sighs

entwined

in earnest pray

lavender hours...

summer scent

throngs the heart

of the green earth red

her soul

gushed along

his scarlet beams

in gold an’ silver play…

Swinging arcs

of blossoming boughs

fill her misty

silhouettes

in new spring madness...

an’ upon the grass’

green youthful charms

we bloom in dewy freshness

like fancy flowers

that, winged lovers

dropped from heavens…

An’ in cool cloud contentment

here I clasp the stars...

as I brush the velvet

of my lips

against your cheek

in mellow moon musical

an’ hear the seas

rise within,

the black desert of your heart…

The music of your breath

at my ear flowers

honing bee, bronze

rustle of silken breezes

song of the soft rain…

but a sudden storm

of flowing fire

blue butterflies breathe

(of your eyes)

a crimson contagion

into mine

lightning of love…

An’ as fire kisses fire

in cool dead drunkenness

deathless moments

showers, slanting arrows

of dusk desires

an’ here the forest wind

steals some fire

from furnaces

of our sighs

an’ spreads upon

the emerald isles…

Dew stars faintly

strewn; sparkling jewels

on my face

diamond gold

you turn them all

an’ fragile pearls drift away...

As soul searches soul

mountains move…

pains of tonight

fears of tomorrow

snaking sands

of ancient impatience

nights of ever-expanding

waits…

fragile falling flowers

ebb, distancing cadences.

An’ so I treasure within

my autumn heart

sun of these April hours

these only treasures

I do have

an’ that I must only have;

Rains of your April love…

melting snow sorrows

an’ all an’ everything

that but with you…I find

the endless depths,

the silence seas

an’ as

the song of every wave
in numb joy I drink...

rising an’ receding

for the moistened moon

of my eyes…
