Breathless Sun

The boughs have all but broken  
winds drift silently   searching  
streams rising out of a desert  
cradling close what's left of me  
 
Temporarily  the pause   stings  
missing moments meant to hold  
off fears   gorgeous set me free  
whisper secrets    meant to be  
 
Comfort stage your place on the X
and the O's of heartstrings playing on  
palpitating  the pulse  felt deep inside  
rewinding endless soulful sounds of love  
 
Curl with me   the corner of your lips  
kiss me   in the cycle of your dreams  
ride off with me   into last gasps  
of the final   breathless  sun
