Cutting tangy lemons with her knife
While sprinkling symphony of flavors
She must be adding the spices of life

Warm me with your body heat
Protect me
Love me

When my day is over
And I will wait for you
Among the . . .

The Envelope
I've written my soul on a letter
A letter to you
I've shared
All my Longings
All my Fears
All my Hurts
I've written it all
Even the parts
For hiding... . . .

I wear my desire
Like a tattoo on my wrist
Like a washcloth hanging over the kitchen sink tap
Like pea vine tendrils cutting through snow.
I wear my desire in the palm of my hand
Held . . .

Smiles impishly in February sessions
Pierces hearts for tomorrows
He aims desires and obsessions
Smiles impishly in February . . .

Ten tiny toes like pearls to kiss,
Your heartbeat against my chest,
You fit just here in the palm of my hand.

Ten tiny toes taking steps on their own,
Just one, maybe two, . . .

Our rosin powders mingle in the case,
Where, fallen from the belly and the bow,
Each particle trapped in the velvet space
Becomes our common . . .

If I had more time
I'd show you how I felt.
Despising all to come
Every waking moment
Mind craving sleep
Hoping...wishing...waiting
Never does the escape come. . . .

Winter Sonnet
So when the swirling snow begins to fall
outside where frigid dreams begin to dance
their tarantellas to the gods of chance,
these wintry symbols list to bear their all

I know you have felt it
the surge in your inner core
when sensors in the soul
ignite with numinous energy

when something like
rich liquid life flows through your being

With its dark swell and lambent foam
Is forming words enticingly
That conjure and describe for me
A stately . . .

When we met, I fell for you fast.
I told you all the things of my darkened past.
But you didn't worry about the past I told.
So I ran forward, with my heart brave and bold. . . .

Petrification
Before the cock crows
My heart hardens. Crystalline.
Blue veins in marble.

Metamorphosis,
As thrice I deny your love.
I am become rock. . . .

Forgotten
Waiting
By the window
When will you come to me?
A lone wolf crouches in pity,
Lingers.

By the wood pile;
Doomed heart beats fitfully.
Like me, it feels abandoned, . . .

and then she took me by the hand!
We sashayed into the village; . . .
