diamonds flambéed

Your eyes hold Storms;
Your Stormy eyes brew my Magic

Flames lick hot Skies inside your eyes; 

jeweled Raindrops drip from Trees,
Her arms sweep Stormy Air to stroke us...

HeartThank thee for thy blessed Flame, my child, my sweet one; 

see Nina wave us kisses from a NightSkyFull of Flame?

I see your eyes' quick diamond shimmer as you stroke me in my Dreams; 

We lay laughing, Moonlight paints Her Gifted jewels between Trees' eaves

I don't know how to keep going sometimes-
seems each Day holds more pain-
but the aching Beauty of all we are,
our Writing, Paintings, LoveSongs;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

II the Loft 

(Irony of the Word, "lofty" -

ought to be a false cognate)

slick bodies, secret faces, dancing eyes hide sick torn memories-

a far-away awakening one drunken night - a NEVER "yes" -

nevertheless - a movement, revulsion; a pounding-

knock knock knock..

she secreted you the key?" ?!

a sister- mine- a "friend" ???

"Off of me! Get away!Get Away Go away Help me Help!{weeps} You are not him..."

uninvited horror grows

between

sighs;

attic memory, "girls' night"...grey...down another... c'mon, just one more."

uninvited horror grows

between

sighs;

their hazy attic girls' night play, her thighs -

     uninviting

uninvited

nevertheless!

On We Go

All soon falls together again, a ball of Life, a growing Circle-

a glow removed

a growing circle

smoke-rings beneath flourescent lights;

she writes behind all-nighters' eyes **

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

beautiful Felines, my friends from Ever,
gather 'round me for a session: caresses, petting, coos;
They groom me as a sister,
efficient tongues, papered desert sands...
they sing to me of their birthplace...
Times throughout my Life,
I meet a special one; he knows me more -
'Recognize' flickers between our eyes;
the jeweled flame dances join
the blurry static horizon 'tween places; 
I thank thee, prince, for Gifted entrance to your world,
for opening pathways: feel our Lives touch, go 'round...
Together.
All.
I see cats, my parents, my child, my Neen,
I see everyone who's circled...
and always always always
I see thee, me love...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     I begin to see nonsense in my Gifted senses
nonsense makes all sense;
graces for these Gifts
a thousand thanks shall never be sufficient
to show thee
how much I love my Life
love my Life
I love my Life

please don't go

why must everything weigh heavy with meaning
the smallest sparow's chirp,
the changed Words
the charg-ed  Words;
dust speck beneath murky lamplight,
a ceiling corner's webbed home 
milk-swirls in my coffee...

all exquisite,
Beauty omnipresent ,
this flickering flame

Your eyes shine forever in these jeweled diamond dances

Our jeweled flame romances-

We are part of this flame...

We are the flame

...

 My unbidden tears

until...

I hear your voice again, me love,

I feel you.

as soft pink dust peeks from a corner,

lit by la Luna,

as She colours Skies early in November,

tears at three o'clock PM,

the shock of being somewhere else,

all will come again to one...

Her smile forms tears as we share the secret between us-

All is open, all we share...

Do all lovers feel this way?

Flames lick hot Skies inside your eyes; 

jeweled Raindrops drip from Trees,
Her arms sweep Stormy Air to stroke us...

Your eyes hold Storms;

Your Stormy eyes brew my Magic

*for my SoulMate, Robin Taylor,
in every LifeTime-
I love you 

** for Joyce Carol Oates; great Literary Lady:
you continue to confound me, confuse me, 
to confront with me
 a few demons
who always linger
I appreciate your affirmation
