how
youreyes
your
suneyes
stirred
my blood

that last time
that last moment

stirred something
hungry
parched
somethingdeep

youreyes
that last moment

how
they
seared
into
my brain
my
soul

branding
you
into
the
hidden corners
of me
now
open
like a flower
to
your light
to
your sun

youreyes
forever amber

taking me
branding
me
into the marrow
of
your
bones
aching now
with cold
at
my
leaving you

youreyes
that last moment

so full
with
the what
the when
overflowing
with
the
how
of
me
and you

youreyes sunbrown
myeyes earthbrown

taking
the measure
saying
the measure

shining
with rivers of goodbye
that last time

eyes
that last moment

telling.

Love Song VI: The 5 Senses

I know

the sound
of
you

know it
by
the whisper
of
rain

the patter
of
raindrops
lonely
gentle
on
my windowsill

I know

the sound
of
you

I know
the touch
of
you

know it
when
thought
of you
streaks
through me
like
summer lightning

blazes
in memory
like
a
wild fire

leaving
your touch
a cool burning
here

just
here
inside
me

I know
the touch
of
you

I know
the smell
of
you

know
your
fragrant
woman-smell

seductive
as
desert
sage

know it
by
the
aching
that
comes
with
the
sweet
earth scent
of
you

wafting on
afternoon breeze
stealing
languidly
into
my
daydreams

intoxicating
my
nightdreams

I know
the
smell
of
you

I know
the
piquant taste
of
you

biting
my lips
like
ginger spice

bursting
with
ruby red
sweetness
like
pomegranate
seeds
falling
slowly
on
my tongue

I know
the taste
of
you

lingering
exotic
disquieting

I know
your
taste

I know
the sight
of
you

see your
face

in
the
soft glow
of
Diana’s moon

exquisite
as
a pearl
shining
above
the ocean
of night

I know
the shape
of
you

by
the
constellation
of stars
you wear

brilliant as diamonds
draped
about
your
velvet neck

I know
the sight
of
you

I keep
the
memory
of you
my love
in
my
five senses

see
the flash
of
your
sky wings
at dawn

hear
you
in
a
waterfall’s
song

taste
you
in
pungent
honey-laced
spices

smell
the
essence
of
you
in
sweet grass
and
lavender

close
my eyes
and
touch
you

brush
your
skin
with
the
smoldering
fire
in
my
fingertips

the
memorance
of you
is
here
always
in
my five senses

always
just
here.
