the safest places

So now I tell you every moment
near you I have spent finds me
spinning webs of fractured
rainbows to weave through
the river of your hair

and when you are dressed
in all of the splendor
of the day,

I will lift you up to the sun
glistening, glorious nascent love
and she will pale when compared
to you, my soft legged beauty,
of the sweetest vineyard kiss

if only to lick away the pains
from your weary soul
my sad eyed angel,
night will hurt you no more

and in your darkest moments
where an eager need explodes
I will take you to those places
where you never thought to go,

to the safest places
where the sky will fall
as it beholds your bliss
and will cover your timid

nakedness, blanket your sweet
bountiful breasts with clouds
and pour its bright ardor
into your luscious mouth

if only to love you
from your soul to your skin
every moment will be
an awakening
