passionate women have velvety lips
comet identified and full of desire
sated by a wish
they twirled the world as if loving gypsies’
hands wide open in offering
there are women who look after the petition
they harbor hope until love comes
rather than celebrate time, they curl in its purpose
the warm fuzz of anesthetized support
some toughen under the weight and crave another episode
sapphires within interval
they twine along the bruises
with the sense to heal
realized in graceful assurance
graceless feelings have no place
sterling winds articulate beneath the skin
silk heart out of you, oh to grasp such beauty
are there any rules to fragile for love to bloom
finely tuned in balance and easily measured
lured by refreshing breezes in secluded bells of violets
love makes sacrifices
concave or convex
burning with mercy, enduring disappointments-
collapsed expectations
the summer sun is ruthless and explains less of logic
woman I am capable of admiration and fear
of letting down my defense
of allowing you inside
without laboring for affection
and allowed to swallow all of my shadows
