yankee hotel foxtrot

rain sizzles like a hot wind on spurned
skin

the vision taps gleam
hotly in the flicker of light
the crash falling
in through the dark black waves
of sleep

bright as a wing
full of sunset

listening to the rain

cool sheets
body heat
breath on my skin

curled tight
amber skies
ignite

your welcome

intimacy doesn't always have to be dirty, it can be simple and beautiful, like someone breathing softly on your skin or running your finger tips gently up and down someone's arm....

in the stillness

long ago I remember these
moments...
the idle summer
the harsh winter

not dirty
not the driven or riven

hovering in the shadows
against heartbeats
together

or in the sluce of moonlight
stretched across an angle
of a room

I remember them too

Nights curled up
wrapped in
each other

Gentle touches
warm embraces
passionate kisses

a time for exploration

expirations

sunlight slapped on a dirty table
time stretching
its breeze taut

fraught duration
a machine hums
and a television murmurs

glimpses
memories
rise

dream forward expectations
beyond the extinction of the edge
the mirage
where the sky shimmers
and hope floats...
