Paths Crossed in the Stars

In dark or day when awake
Corralled in company,
Or anonymous and alone
Thoughts glutinous & thick,
Like a fresh calzone...

So much at stake
Morality adhered to detriment,
Bequeathed with lavish punishment on me
Breaking my own commandments,
In the sticky jeopardy we make...

Promises perjurized
As I trip & stumble amok in,
The manic marvelous marbles
Of your eyes
An ocular oasis,
Submerged in sad brilliance
I stand in pleasant paralysis,
Statue of awe & content as our souls are in stasis...

The wind of you
Is a petty thief,
Taking my breath away as clarity vacates
And curious thoughts are led astray...

Blinded by tiles of ivory
South of Mount Sinus,
Sharp and gleaming with intelligence
Gnawing affirmations & drawling purring poetry...

The amazed timbre
Larynx sopped with honey harps,
Whether jaunt or forlorn
A masculine melody,
Ambers the sutures
Where heartstrings were torn...

Turquoise rivers
Branched in egg hatched patterns,
In all direction
You stir wine in me,
As your touch makes my spine quiver
Blushing my skin with whips of cinnamon...

Ignored request for night
To squander and pend,
But the spark between will never dim

As these memories
Frustrate & soothe,
While minutes spin into hours
Bittersweet dreams of you,'
& of our first and last....encounter.
