Thank you

Eyes closed – heart open your parted lips urge me to be silent the soft groaning taste of honey spoken poems is more-ish insatiable in my salted mouth They demand their aching melodies be sung Inside the gravity of our departure gate waiting within the last possible leaving embrace – I felt us finally arrive together then fly away (gracious) in separate directions (fleshless – weightless) denied each other for seemless months yet at your migratory seabird’s landing we did not kiss for more than half a day of too-shy-of-touching gentle doubt My in-flight tears soaked up by the hem of this cotton dress Stock taken in the little time together – face to face you dived in to share my solitude : your presence, your smile nanosecond swift drove all the demons away Thank you
