dissolving into the poem I never left

I am long slow haiku,

it forms my mouth, 

shapes my teeth and tongue as it tastes itself, 

poems anoint my eyes with your beautiful reflection,

spinning a world of utter amazement that dissolves as it appears, 

and that is the magic of this poem, 

that it is not lacking, 

and has no other words to sing...

I am a waterfall of words tripling lightly through these fingertips splashing the music of I am onto the page...

dancing a song of you and me into a ballet of astonishment

a waltz of tears

streaming the music

we all know but cannot fathom

there is no escaping the symphony that plays us

I cannot hear my own voice

without yours 

I am your echo

I have no shoes without your feet...

no heart without your love

no tears without your eyes

lost and found in the meandering without an anchor or shore to reach, 

bathed in the warmth of your waters, 

this is love without time or timelessness... 

the breath 

softly... 

words dissolving into love letters strewn haphazardly across the night sky, 

stars burning in their own light

~~~~~

I am the ache of spring and the petals

falling

words kiss my mouth into this love song

twirl me into this lover's dance...

dissolving into the poem I never left
