You

                Are my vowels & consonants

                                Growing in the index of my fingers &

                                (Careless) tip of tongue as I pen

                                With/in parameters & out/er margins-

                                You roll and colour 

                                Every metaphor & simile

                                You cup, measure and fill

                                The cheeks of my verses

                                The zing in stanzas, stress in meters 

                                You are the curl of my (perfect) font

                                Dash in my every-thing & un-finished thoughts 

                                The comma in epilogue, next & always -

   

                                You candle-burn my pages - 
                                And even though you mess me up with conjugations,
                                The words always lead me back to

         
                                                                                     you

You

you are the morning
cup in my hands, warm bread toast
i inhale, eyes closed


~0~0


you are the music
sheet i write my song, frame white
in my darkest night 


~0~0


you are the summer
rain on my skin, blueberries
soft staining pale dew


~0~0


you are the evening 
rest on my bosom, folding
my wings to stillness

Poetry form:    Senryu (3 lines, 17 syllables)
