Your fingers leaving burn marks
then kissing them off
one by one
Set me on fire
burning us to ashes
rebirth again
new for the dawn
Bring on the new buds
pulling the heartstrings
play me like a symphony
pleasing to Amor
Bloom
peeling off petals
one by one
falling
fragrance scattering
intoxicating all senses
The body once a wasteland
slowly soaking up the dewdrops
trickle to a stream
a river
a sea
a tsunami
The old Ford carried our young souls under the starry sky
slowly rolling into the moonlight cinema
stretched on the worn leather seat
resting my feet on the dash
bubble gum blowing while you tuning the radio frequency to the movie
rolling my head to mess up my hair to
the rock and roll remaining sound
in my head
the sound of your coke can letting out a yawn
woke me just in time for the movie previews
shuffling chips bags and salted cashews
manically getting ready before
the 15 minute preview ran out
“hey Puff!” you called out to me
I looked up through my bird’s nest hair
like a curious new born
you leaned over and kissed the four petals of my lips
my face relaxed and a smile started to bloom
we lazed in the worn leather seats
lounging into each other
a line of wriggling toes on the dash
two young souls
sharing a movie – Fast and Furious
in the old Ford
How many movies
how many coke can yawnings
how many chips and salted cashews
and how many moonlight smooches…

You were raging, splattering, raving and rattling the cage
I was standing and watching you in amazement
I was made to have keen observant eyes to spot you
You gravitated me to glue to your contorting face even in the most gruesome illustration
You could bring on the devil’s horns
I felt at ease and knew
I would tame that to peace
You were raging, splattering, raving and rattling the cage
I was standing and watching you in amazement
I stepped agilely forward to unlatch the gate
You leaped out and landed all over me
four eyes met
your flames mellowed into
my whirlpool of affection
I finally woke up with a cat stretch
Searched and found the tropical island deep in your eyes
‘Hey!’
Before you responded
‘Shhhhh!’
My lips plopping to splash your heart
You are
the hollow tree trunk to the hibernating squirrel
the sanctuary to the refugee
You are
the axis to the earth wanderer
the compass to the tracker
You are
the magnetic island to the metal particles
the shore the survivor swam to
You are
the tree I swing around
You are who you are
I belong to
I don’t know I have ever felt the way I feel about you
I don’t know has anyone ever so completely besotted with me like you do
I don’t know I have ever dreamt about love the way until I know you
I don’t know has anyone ever known me the way you know me
You have kissed my soul long before you will kiss me
You have loved me long before you will see me
You were the wish I made to the shooting stars long before I had known about love
You were the one covered by the umbrella in the dividing rain,
a dream I had so long forgotten ago,
I was a curious teenager tipped toes on the dry side,
spotted you and knew you were the one
You have vividly lived in that dream
until I heard you whispering across the ocean
I don’t know I have ever felt so content as how I feel now
just knowing you are there
and love will part the sea
Cloves of shivers
Tenderly connecting
Snowflakes melting softly
The morning glow warmth
Escalating the ardour
Just in time for the sun
Burst in full vehemence
I was walking aimlessly and contently
knowing the truth of timing
I spotted a native wilted shrub
I love them for they are scruffy and hardy
I stopped, looking up the sky and asked for rain
The next day, I woke up smiling at the drops
left on my window pane
I was walking towards the shrub intently
knowing the truth of prayer
I squatted down to check on its trunk and crown
with satisfaction they are still bendy but supple
I stood up, looking up the sky and gave thanks
The next day, I woke up smiling as my heart
filled with warmth
I was walking towards the shrub with excitement
knowing the truth of reaping
I skipped down the path to match my anticipation
from distance it greeted me with full bloom
My heart fluttered, looking up the sky and murmuring ‘I have found it!’
My love
When I search you in the dark
Your lips are on mine
The sprinkle of your kisses
Like dewdrops quenching my thirst
I quiver to drink you in
My heart flutters to bloom
Softly softly I’m opening up to you
My love
Your heat warms me up
Wrapping me in flasket
I gently illuminate
Seeping through your blood streams
Your inferno melts me in spiral
Until we disintegrate into one
