strength
your eyes
two exclamation points screaming
YES in vertical escalations
your eyes
widening like the spread of sunrise
rays across the horizon
your lips
the warmth of inviting shorelines
hungry and eager to please their guest
but your heart
O purist nubile heart
like a trembling child curled in the corner
it took every bit of strength
to hold myself from you
it took everything from me
to do nothing
but smile

someone special
I came upon a weathered cross
of brittle bark and haggard lean
wrapped with shreds of desiccated vine
fastened once and tightened twice
by hands that must have prayed for peace
above the love laid here deceased
no flowers now that used to lay
below this weathered cross in May
just death to dust and dust to life
in little breaths of butterflies
that swirl with staggered flits and darts
a sign that someone here lives on
