December 2001

 

When I think of you

And our life together,

A bird rushes from the blue,

Sits soft on my shoulder.

 

At the twilight moment of daytime

When picture frames become soft,

And pastel images subdue sharp lines,

Your gentleness can’t be stopped.

 

In the classic style of French wine making,

At the moment of effervescence,

Its transformation is magic like pearls,

So pure of heart in this oaken world,

You transform my liquid soul.

 

As your wet hair lays against

The crook of my neck,

And our bubbly skin rubs tensely

Along our moving, undulating hips,

We’re floating with sensuous hands

With climaxing tender toes to heads.

Your kind gestures and words

Touch a soft corner of my heart,

And we stop touching the earth.
