i play with the fray
on my cut off jeans
blue tee and Birkenstocks
hair billowing
like the wild knots
of milkweed
silk and tantalizing seed
as the Garter wanders
amidst the reeds
soaking sun and stalking snails
while i watch white sails
tracing contrails
and the spinning shimmering
reflections in their wake
~
the hammock shakes
as tree frogs peep
and you sleep
beneath the dabbled shade
with dreams
of love that’s made
of polychromatic dew
and sunbeams
that stretch their legs
on the down
of dandelion spools
~
and i take to you
with a softening gaze
that plays
over hands and arms
as i trace
your slumbering heart
and touch your cheek
for there are moments
absent words to speak
in the heat
indigo delphinium glows
and your eyes shine sea blue
as life weaves promise
to memory
and i…
love you
~
The energy of love exudes the tangible expressions of goodness, beauty, and truth.
