SOUL CONNECTION

What of this brightened Kiss

Merged to the recognition of

My amnesiac loneliness . . .

I’ll never forget

The empty space

Lingering from frozen embrace . . .!!!

Or when a stare pierced me like

Poisoned arrows ~

More curious though of the landscape

Beyond me, more so than the vision he

Perceived of my longing glare back to him,

Neglected.

What of the nature of you wanting

To know do I name the constellations

Or can stars match the sorrow from when

At times I fall out of sky?

Simple desire.

Pink colors I send and whisper

Towards your nonchalant heart,

Would you let me know when you

Feel my Soul’s tether to your

Velvet skin?

As I touch your unshaven face,

A thousand cells dance like electric sparks

Through my aroused fingertips ~ ~

Your DNA reads to me like Braille . . .

A smile starting around the corner

Of your shy trembling lips?

Well, my darling, that’s the birth

Of a brand new Universe!!!!

TOPAZ

My Topaz to you

My Zodiac-golden

Essence which follows

All scent that has dropped

Out of this world

Lay down the still bones

For love is a wager we

Sometimes lose

A heart-fall into the abyss

Dwindling down into

The fragrant mist.

All tumbled sea iridescence

Epitome of chocolate-sadness

All over again

We are each other’s

Unbirthed colors

Until the canvas-snowy etch

Is put to interval light

Spectrums though we are

Reflecting twisting muscle

In chalky brokenness

Until we come along and seal

The emptiness between locked spaces

Quasi-folds of dream resilience

Embrace so stung it scabs the senses

New awareness toward array of

Embryonic affection.

Genesis, omnipotent safari

Of open heart possibilities

Once we succumb to love’s

Tidal powers

It’s enough to know each

Life- altering movement

Has its own Afterlife.

OCTAVES

In theorem we are perfect Octaves

Blended in frequency

Where music sings its semitones and lust

Pitches of praise and sanguine sound waves

Integrals of meandering light

Our fused-electric sting

Vortex particles of dust

Explode . . . Transcend

Up and down the scales of my heart

You play the chords with fingers drawn

Placed so delicate upon my sonata fronds

A shy flower in your impish eyes

I bloom a thousand concerto lives

Dancing upon the on looking throngs

They watch us ascend and descend

And flit like feathers in a sonnet wind

This Soul-unison

Does it matter who’s the singer

Who’s the song

Notes play across the stars

Until they come home

To rest magically inside us

All that was once unwritten

Now belongs

To everyone ~ the universe

…oh the universe ….sings along

In perfect octave.
