smooth crystal raindrops
strung along spiderweb strands
reflecting blue sky
a few words spewing from my soul…

warm bread freshly baked
the earth just after spring rains
clothes dried in the sun
a bush laden with lilacs
my sheets still smelling like you

stormy percussion
rimshots against the window
thunder’s low bass drum

the sun slips past the shade
to paint planes of light and shadow
across sleeping face.
.
fingertips, a protractor
measuring angles of jawline
of cheekbone
of curve under bottom lip
.
while navigating blindly
the labyrinth of heart

the sun on my face
warm breeze flutters the new leaves
ants in the kitchen

sitting a wingspan apart

I slipped out last night
scanning skies for shooting stars
nature’s promises

your teeth sink into
the powdered sugar donut
it dusts your black shirt
snow still caps the mountaintops
faintly visible at dawn
.
sugar on your lip
I remember the sweetness
well after dinner
.
honey in green tea
steam rises from the surface
faint smile on your lips
leaning against the window
you long for the mountains
.
I watch you sip tea
a smile flits across your face
that is not for me
.
my lips graze your neck
as you gaze out the window
light painting cheekbones
while your head tips to the left
wordlessly asking for more

the north wind cuts through
our masks and sweaters sharply
stealing away breath
my hand curling within yours
warm and safe in your pocket

Adding an audio file ala Johnny Crabcakes style …
Issues with this posting, so I dropped it into SoundCloud.
