and the colour of your eyes
and the softness of your breath
the lines of your smile
and the joy of my knowing
you in the fragrance of your
skin and the taste of your
lips and the creation
of your words in the poem
of our longing as the sea
is within and the wind
blows across the arctic
as a howling presence
and splendour in the shock
and awe of a tidal awakening
in the evening of our rapture
singing praises to the creation
of the ice that melts between
us in the heat of our embrace
and the movement of our bodies
naked in the balance in a line
that you are on presently here
as in you are on this line wondering
in the context the meaning if not
metaphoric than what would it
represent as language as referencing
the conceptual possibilities of
re-design and to configure our
beginning as the end of our
separation to become as light
creates the shadow and the
contrast of an evening making
dinner together and never
getting past the fruit salad
of nectarine necking
and how the passing of ginger
from mouth to mouth
is the eroticism and joy
of a shared esoteric
rhyme in the context
within
and the softness of your breath
the lines of your smile
and the joy of my knowing
you in the fragrance of your
skin and the taste of your
lips and the creation
of your words in the poem
of our longing as the sea
is within and the wind
blows across the arctic
as a howling presence
and splendour in the shock
and awe of a tidal awakening
in the evening of our rapture
singing praises to the creation
of the ice that melts between
us in the heat of our embrace
and the movement of our bodies
naked in the balance in a line
that you are on presently here
as in you are on this line wondering
in the context the meaning if not
