love dissolves in its own embrace

moonlight flows through my heart

I am the blood of forgotten dreams

bleeding into sunset

simultaneously

the in-breath and out

kiss of moon

lingers

hearts

beating

echoes

weeping

love dissolves in its own embrace

~~~~~

bathing in a pool of echoes

lost and found in the tides of moon

all is forgotten in the remembering

my tongue dissolves in the taste of darkness

how dare the moon rise

without your eyes?

~~~~~

my mouth is shaped by your empty kiss

I am a ballet of forgotten shadows

moonlight

and the frozen ground

~~~~~

without a song there is no singer

without this poem

there is no blank page

~~~~~

poems kiss my mouth

pour my breath into the music of dawn

my heart is a dance of moonlight

on the thawing ground

I am an echo of your words

your forgotten breath lingers
