Cloudburst tears seem so real
Brushing trails on window panes
Raw, like making love
Beneath a brushstroked night.
I study her, claim her to memory
Softly teasing my mind's eye
Whispered like a dream
I feel her light.
Beautiful is not enough to paint her
Porcelain skin, perfect by view
And ruby red lips
Baptised by stars of night.
I drown in her eyes
Close enough to feel her
But, lost beyond something more righteous
A fragment touch that claims this empty sky.
She breathes and I lose my own
Waking from dream as her pleasure
Finding nothing more precious
Than the way it feels to touch her face
To swallow her breathing
And to fold myself into a love she gives
From a soul given much more
Than the life that fills him.
