how the moon calls to me on darkened nights
and bids my muse to create a new language for your own lips so wet
that they want and ache for my tender woman's touch
well if so rather enchantably then I can give you that bespeak no promises of love
and ye shall own this moment without further preamble
taketh from me my sweetest breath
the love of life into my soul's own lungs
the angels whisper in wonder at what we have found
two trembling bodies of water destined to meet
at a shore not so silent any longer
oh but I truly am a petal floating on rough winds in stark comparison to you
a mere lost lone bloom with no lovely glass vase to even sit in alone
awaiting the stalking of such tender death so soon
so do not crush the very essence of this brilliant satin loveliness
let it soar and be free in the shimmering pool by your garden's finest gate
for winged then too you shall become to stumble no more
but to follow in its amazing Odyssy's wake
granted at last a better man!
from a flower!
