Touch

Dash your weakness
create your day
trust your warmth
know your light
alter your truth
gift your talents
carry your sensations
notice your tune
reach your whimsy
touch my name

Wait

What if you leave the light on
while the world spins?
turn around
while the world bounces
leave the gate open
while the world catches butterflies
push the cart
while the world paces
cram the crevices
while the world opens
fill a void
while the world stuffs its face
What if you answer
while the world waits?

And Then Some

I rushed your stage
     You performed
I gave you looks
     You shined
I lured you away
     You seduced me
I showed you mine
     You wanted it
I tripped your fancy
     You reflected
I slowed your progress
     You forged on
I pushed your patience
     You unleashed passion
I spent your time
     You made more
I asked for peace
     You gave me joy

You

Big picture view
significant details
discovered to reveal
the curl of your dimples
the leer your eyes make
signaling want
demanding time
interpreting
why you matter

Rushing Light

She left me
hanging on
to glistening reflections
ghosting what is

A boat putters by
with noisy heartbeats
making waves
quaking quaint

Waiting for clouds
in shapes of dreams
of beer suds
melting on her lips

Caressing tension
forging sensations
accepting pleasure
rushing light

Again

Let your mind wander
to limits beyond
pasted stars
to savor the glow
without boundaries
Together again
a struggle no different
Edge to cliff
Glue is light
between our souls
Eyes reach to meet
set free in knowing
the bond endures
angst-filled pressures
Accept how brightly
we shine
when we love

Wet

Oh, hot water
shower my head
cascade my curves
I am wet

Ominous

Ominous threads
tie a bow
undone to reveal
no gift at all

Portentous strokes
laid forcefully
careful to touch
an empty soul

Fateful lapses
grift complete
exacting belief
in what will be
