she is like
the summer wind
full of fight
warm
sharp, fierce
necessary
giving way to
a desert still
brisk nights
when the moon
grabs all her rough edges
pulling her back
consuming
enjoying what she
becomes
fire
raging
dancing, floating
crackling, exposing
her raw, her real.
he, the moth
consumed.

what defines the sky?
nothing.
not even bird or rain
can hold it closer
or push it farther
than it already is...
and every time you breathe
you begin to understand

Would you, at vespers, kiss my
heart so true, as Sun greets
Earth along
the horizon’s line and share
a gaze that paints the heavens’
hue?
Would you then linger as twilight
fades our lips touched
in violet's glow
And hold me close in night's
shade where moon sets
the stars aglow
