lazuli

water turned hot to cold

and I feel the cells stir 

and close up

I needed to change...

staring at the sky, vacated

pure lazuli unmarred and

wide open

there are no strings on dreams

so I let them float away, relying

on a hand that's held and feels

so right

lovers sit for longer days. time

is a breeze off a lake as we kiss.

heaven is filled with soft lips and

dancing tongues

like a flower in my brain, she is

the unfolding of beauty beheld

I ask of this life

for nothing more
