ravenesque
your eyes
inky pools of heated mist
steam rolling off hot pavement
after a summer shower
permeates my idea of you
so much lies hidden
but the forward thrust of your
wit lined musings
captivates
the deeper spirit in me
attraction for us
is like a beautifully choreographed
car crash
where no one is hurt
but all lives involved
are changed
forever
and take on new rolls
you are my gentle receiver
and I
the culmination of wants too,
far too few you have revealed
what a surprise I must have been
this fair yet naughty Lady She
who yanked you out on a limb
far above solid ground
offering so much
while rocking the branch
just as you are having a nice
little look around
but remember my dear
for while you were taking in the
magnificent view
a sturdy parachute
(made of my love)
was placed upon you
so though you may indeed fall
(and quite possibly already have!)
know that with but the aid of my
gentle shove
you should only bounce about so
sweetly by the constant embrace
of my never failing love....
