This World is Beneath You


Shimmering whisps of gold and silver

weave your mane

haloing your charmed and gracious face

budded in rose lips curled north

your violet eyes shine mirrored

as a still lake softly rippling your essence




brewing, we spill ourselves on tall grass

opaque pearls drape your porcelain shoulders cascading

across your silk

follow me to the end of the blowing branches

scratch the sky in tandum as I stroke the tender

velvet of your heart and song

I hold with amazement as you

render me breathless

I desire the sheer motive of your brass core

trembling to be found




kiss me full and ripe

let me touch your heat and cascading love

tangle with me in linen swells

as I bow at your perfect arched foot

delicately resting above

my whole world where I spread before you my heart




my darling,

you are too precious for this earth

too kind for this weeping ground

too decent for this harbor of red pumice grief

The tainted world is tiny at your feet

shabby and vulgar in its tempest

you rise above the quakes of foul and breathe sweet

air into the lungs of my sanity

let me fall into your jungle of tender colors

eclipsing any shadows that might fall

and save me!

as I sing and fold

inside your

perfection
