Sheep Across Azure Vaults

If we never meet again, I’ll know

you can’t be shorn from my heart.

You thawed my hardened iced soul as

we danced together on frozen stars,

my breath inhaled in exuberant joy.

Our heat tiptoed in waves of silence

at the edge of our beginning, circling

our essence in naked words as we

patched our outer shells together,

reveling in intoxicated moonlit dust,

surrendering in place of long grass blades

navigating by stars in your moonlit eyes.

Clouds rolled in like sheep across azure vaults

in steamed vapor of our passionate breaths.

Our eyes locked in two-step through the heavens

tied together in silk laces of love embraced.

Our love remains in our ageless thoughts but

we’ll have to meet in our dreams as we sleep,

once rosy roads have parted in dusty endings,

our residual bones fluttering in the breezes.
