We let silence spark into tension coils As we firefly dance Into a semi-circle Our wings red-flustering vacillating between speaking what's on our minds Or letting things go Then you slump bending your sorry face knotting your arms into mine I ash stub any lingering doubts away Unribboning myself into softest threads We let our music shimmer tattooing our skin bronze melting our metallic hearts to drift with clouds Finally we let words fall surge quiver as we sip rain deeply from each other cup Your lips sugaring mine until sated with forgiving love We run to greet the sun flowering with wildest colors
I am lost with the musical symbols Mixing up notes from rests I confess that I don't know the lyrics of our love song
I sing but a only a squeak comes out Words, sheathe your claws I make believe that inside me is a birdsong, a candle wick waiting to come out by dawn Words, kiss me awake I am someone else when I am writing poems about tragedy & pain I stitch words, half remembering the woman watching moon rise for first time
I know only of love, steady as flame Taste of tropical fruits, sweeter than sugar And sky, cobalt blue, startling the sea this morning, I hold on to memories of passion unending Words, slay me with your tongue I want to crown myself the tango dancer but my limbs turn to water When you steal my gaze When you make me believe that I can And when I use this voice, Words, melt me softer than snow
