Passion


Passion
Illustration (CS6)
April 2018

There is a landscape
That marks the 
crossroads of our hearts.

Conclaves of little 
pickled elder memories
That have been present 
for both you and me.

Footprints left in mud 
After one has step up and above 
to find the promise-land 
that has now been flooded 
with a feeling.

Not too sure of what it is 
we’ve been dealing. 
But the cards attest. 
They give us rest. 
Because the feeling is real. 

Enough to heal the surface wounds. 
Enough to carry 
injured footman through lagoons. 

Something that we can grasp. 
Somethings we won’t ask
While we press our tongues 
On teacups 
Taking little sips 
Gentle enough to 
blow across 
dandelion grasslands
That surrounds us 
much like sand. 

For miles runs a river,
blossoms combs 
and foliage is speckled along 
The horizon
wildlife roams endlessly. 
And Love grows effortlessly. 

All about is spread 
green upon green 
Valleys glossy 
with morning dew 
obscuring views. 
Mountains snowy and pure. 

The ocean of leaves 
plays harpsichords 
before us.
The twinkling lights strike 
like matches in the sky. 

Blankets of indigo 
glittered and gilded
By stars 
Who have answered 
the questions that 
You and I 
Have asked of them.  

There is a landmark 
that points to the 
crossroads of our hearts. 

We see our fingertips 
and pursed lips 
that have collided 
like the Big Bang 
in the city skyline. 

Collapsing like lungs 
taking in pure pleasures of passion
and the way 
that our hearts were 
simply, 
classically, 
and untraditionally 
fashioned for one another. 

My complex lover. 
Because the morning 
light on your face 
makes me want to embrace 
your heart more and more. 

Releasing all this 
old grieving to allow 
for the new seasons 
to take a step on the floor.
