Free Verse # 150 (home)

Home ~
Wherever our house will be.
Our house ~
your hand in mine
below whatever canopy.

~

The sun and moon I plant
Over each of your eyes
And my kiss, in between,
A river flowing
With all the universe’s stars.

~

Your kiss,
Though cool like the dew of dawn,
Upon my lips burns hot like the sun.

~

Your love
An endless sea
Billowing between my ribs.

~

Would that my lips were the rays of sunlight
Bathing your naked body early in the morn.

Would that my eyes were the flow of moonlight
Enveloping you, a vessel in my heart.

~

My heart be the vessel carrying you
Onto the shore of dawn.

~

In the dark night of the soul
your face rises like a full moon
washing me naked
of shadow and misery.

~

Naught compares to the brilliance of your face ~
not the sun in her glory,
not the moon in her majesty,
not the stars in their mythic grace.

~

I thread your dark hair
over the sky then kiss you, and lo!
dawn…
