BLANCA ALICIA GARZA

BLUSH

If my hands could

touch your body

like my words have

touched your heart,

I could write a love poem

while running my fingers

through your soul.

The most beautiful poems

are not written on paper but,

rather traced upon the

contours of the skin,

and read through whispers

and moans making even the

Moon blush.

(Initially published on Raven Cage Ezine)

INTOXICATINGLY WINE

There are words

upon his skin.

A sweet poem wrapped

in flesh and bones.

Sin dressed in black,

lips of intoxicatingly wine.

Sweet temptation that

I would love to read

with my fingertips,

between every line,

between every word

until the last chapter.

Learning the entire story

that hides there

behind his beautiful

deep blue eyes.

To write the beginning

of a new story among

satin purple sheets.

THE ROSE

Many Moons have passed without you,

creating an empty space within my heart.

Another night craving your presence;

one more tear falls from my eyes.

The rose you left beside my bed is dying;

and your beautiful face is fading from my mind.

I keep the rose in a book of unfinished poems;

and though dried, shattered and breaking into pieces,

it's still beautiful, but I fear I'm breaking as well.

The rose now perfumes my nostalgic nights,

and your poems will remain written in my heart.
