Searching for you


veil  
covers 
face, empty
of verses, words
my fingers search their angles, edges, curves


black kohl eyes close, imagining your touch
unsieved grape juice,
swirling wine
heady
drop 


lips    
passion 
burst of spring
flowering   red   
torching pen, I listen to your breathing    




Poetry form:  Tetractys, a poetic form invented by Ray Stebbing, consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20). Tetractys can be written with more than one verse, but must follow suit with an inverted syllable count.   For Triple Tetractys: the pattern is:  1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10.   


It's a long weekend here in Canada.   Thanks for your visits and smiles.
