Alchemy of Us

To: Mavia

The offbeat alchemy

that comes so gracefully

when we are living who

we are,

going out to do our

dailies,

and then returning

back to arms of love

to roll and play under-

neath the dying lights of day...

...It really takes me by surprise

how right, and yet

so filling...

how on the nose, yet

truly thrilling...

how promising, yet

sphinxlike are your eyes

when they peek through...

...or when I’m glancing down,

and like the velvet sound

of white dove feathers

falling,

both of your mellowed lids

will be

so softly shut,

though still I see there’s

magic working

behind those subtle curtains

of which I could but only dream,

and am so beholden by your

presence, and the happy beat

our hearts dare to make when we

mix our skins like paint...

...my love, you paint me

into being, and

I paint you

as breath comes quick,

and lips dive down to kiss

the elegance

of the landing of your neck

which turns and twists

to let these soaring birds

drop down and sun themselves

in splendor

upon your holy ground.
