just beyond the tempted aftermath
the fresh boiling moment is stirred
I hear the gnawing of your name in the
swift calling distance
a faint grinning sound in my heart
that can barely be heard
I can feel the brightness of your watery
smile
as it travels upon the cold shadowed breeze
sweet dulcet pelts of so welcomed rain
for every drought ridden mile
though its slipping corners
I have yet to fully witness
with little or no effort at all
you smoke my most fiery needs
you have been such sweet refuge
for my endlessly searching inner most
self
so come
confide in me your most daring dreams
your doubts
your desires
your fears
and winter ring fires
as to me they are all the same
so then I must long for them too
for as in
'The Truest Of Truths'
they are all
every last aspect and mysterious
absurdity
an equal reminder of you
so be a sport amour
and share them all with me
you'll never regret
such sweet imposition.............
