Eyes

mossy

green

set

amidst

pecans

lashes

flutter

teasing

winks

mirrors

gateways

sometimes

blue

sometimes

green

once

red

I

wish

I

saw what

you

see

especially

what

you

see

in

me

Calm

wind

ripples

wrinkles

in

colorless

tablecloth

breeze

causing

gooseflesh

tiny

waves

of

you

dancing

away

mirroring

sky

you’re

blue

a

handful

of

you

is

cold

crisp

and

clear

tasting

you

whetting

lips

tongue

teeth

stepping

in

you

you

lap

at

legs

now

at

your edge

dipping

toes

you

tickle

that

deepest

part

the

heart

lake

You

said

you

saw

silver tone

against

gray scale

with me

you

said

you

saw

hues

depth

dimension

to me

you’re

my

prism

clear

fracturing

white

to

color

you

my

dear

cause

color

not

I

Luna

full

brightening

your

packing

teasing

turned

to

taunts

kisses

to

boredom

affection

turned

mechanical

and

that

once

ablaze

heart

cooled

to

ash

once

your

aroma

lingered

now

hangs

doomed

luxurious

silence

has

curddled

into

bombastic

quiet

blossoms

of

curiosity

have

dropped

bedside

blowing

as

you

shut

doors

compassless

I am

now

lost

Highballs

jazz

cityscape

revelers

birthday

jostling

standing

sway

bump

apologies

your

foot

atop

mine

bodies

cantilevered

tipping

arms

hands

eyes

catching

excuses

winks and

smiles

chagrin

and

charm

fateful

destined

fortuitous

blissful

providence

Once

at first

words

laughter

bee

buzz

hours

hours

and

more

giving

way

dikes

bursting

creeping

Ivy

bodies

whispers

secrets

dreams

now

nothing

nothing

but

silence

that

common

quiet

peaceful

luxurious

silence

Looming

high

above

me

tickling

soul

clouds

scraping

heavens

grounded

thick

bottomed

rising

skyward

towering

topped

by

eyes

blinking

lights

from

below

you

appear

monolithic

an idol

fixture

defining

our

skyline

oh

my

skyscraper
