kiss me
among
the most crisp colors
your mind can create
I hear your love
growing
don't you know
the purity of want
is never too late
Desire
the mixed drink
of the senses
gives clear vision to the
continuous vacancy
where love is concerned
your heart
is as lonesome as a
highway
in the dead of night
but from its chilled chambers
a bonfire of love still burns
I so miss this you
who mentally hugs me goodnight
you are the ageless muse
that gives my swoonful pen
wings for flight
I imagine your love is like
a bruise
so noticeable
brave
and tender
the humor so warm in your
soul
speaks to this love buried
beneath my heart
in even its winter
so touch me always
with the gentlest brush
of your honesty's own
fingertips
for I think just now
I need you to never go away
and reach for me always
even from the clutches of death
forgive me please
for such morbid admittance
but poetry for me
has always been
my one true way
to say I LOVE YOU best
in this case with you
its no different
just deeper
I must confess
so to you I fully give
this Bruised Rainbow
of my own battered love
to do with
as you wish.......
