reflections melt the mirror

vault of night

strewn with stars

vast, beyond words

boundless love

~~~~~

red leaf on the sidewalk

brushes my lips into a kiss

how exquisite these tears

how wondrous to love

~~~~~

echoes bloom and fall into the color of your eyes,

soft petaled glances swoon into the seeing,

reflections melt the mirror,

words slide through their letters, they never held a thing,

poems are not empty nor full, they flow through our sunset, ache into our breathing…

we are this whirlwind of love falling into and through its own arms,

an infinite intimate embrace…

love without love,

love without other

~~~~~

this path

of moons and suns

has no footprints

between the rocks

echos dust the flowers

~~~~~

refrigerator hums and gurgles all night

for the roosters it’s always dawn

words fly out of the tips of my fingers

warmed with my mug of tea

spiraling steam rising

disappearing

back beat of morning

tears

do not erase sadness

heaven

this fathomless sea
