Oh, My Silly Bear
I dance
only
with you
in my heart
don't you know
the essence that is me
has no meaning
if there is no you
and of such moments
I am robbed
an emptied spirit's vessel
without the canvas
of your tender verse
to see your face
or read the subsequent
aching in your words
I am filled flush again
a flute flowing of
the gentle prose
of your pining poet's pen
you write and your love
kisses my eyes
sending their tears to
my cool cheeks
again and again
I have fewer words
and far more longings
where you are concerned
that carry me softly
to conclusions end
your very loving nature itself
lures like an arbor of
Napa grapes preening
beneath the afternoon sun
whispering to my quivering lips
you are my loveliest
of 'Irresistible Wines'
so come
let your bold bouquet
be a banquet to
the enticement of my lips
oh, how I whimper to myself
to just hear such talk as this
but only
from you
and no one else.....................
