Free Verse # 120 (a simple life of love)

The magic of union –
as our fingertips touch,
we become the sea.

~

And were your songs
not churning through my body
like rivers of stars,
I would go insane…

~

Listening to the night
your stars within me blossom,
crowning me, your flower.

~

In your absence
I am a pool of stars
boiling in the palm of heaven.
You draw near and the stars,
driven mad, scatter,
reducing me to no more
than the dawn of your presence.

~

The sun and moon
I set over your head,
the stars into orbits
around your neck,
and under your feet,
the dawn.

~

I have naught to offer, love,
but a house which dreams
flowered into jasmines and stars,
exhaling perfumed silence,
inner poetry.

A simple life of love…
