Alone in your smile, it lulls me to sleep
as I breathe you in one small breath at
a time
like the rings from a pebble dropped in water,
my thoughts dissipate...
the sway of dreams take over;
windows of my mind open, remembering a forgotten rhythm
lashes curl in collected colors
sliding across the sky like poetry in motion
with random words falling into symmetrical syllables
creating a ripple over smooth skin
I have continuity
roots running deep between spaces of time
collective memories are lost in a pulse
like the voice of water pouring emotions over a cliff
dispersing echoes into heaven
deep inside of you, I disregard voids
catching masculine scents dangling from the
house of the rising sun as I pull wishes into my chest
hoping for last night’s moments to linger
the morning has no knowledge;
it rolls in with the tides of another day
sweet whispers linger inside an infinite embrace
wrapped in multi-colored rainbows
sliding closer to me as romance lives in repetition
words catch in my throat;
beauty plays for me inside the fullness of time
between the concept of ripples we were seeking
true balance in our unbalance world
behind white noises we strip down to bare words
beneath bleached bones of our tattered souls
tranquility is swept away swiftly by the weight of
the naked truth
