Quiver Of Arrows Of Love
You excite me to launch with your dandelion arrows of love-stares in me windy
and fire-licking elixir of your sweet hands, eluting swells of the feathery plush
latticed conduits for my blossoming atoms to flow with your violet warmth
Where ocean tails lap over soul and pasts of my face that never felt so much
Distant closeness and the faraway touch of the nights of us in your eyes, your smiles
striate like shooting stars of wishes and convolute like ivy around the sounds of chimes
playing as softly as tear-rippling echoes and unfurling of roses, from inside
I find you to rest on the sturdy bough of my finger, my leaves
Decrescendo like crescents surrounding your face and when you blink
I will shimmer away like a mirage in your heat and combust
cobalt-electric in the seat of your flames.
