Angel
In a state of half a dream and half awake
I await
tantra trinkets shine in pieces across night skies
scattered stars the litter of our synchronized wishes
broken symbols of our disenchanted rune
cosmic poets cursed the lutestring verse rhymed for us
I’m lost astray like a pearl loosed from a fractured string
lost in ashes of embers our fire that fed the sun
will you search a cosmos of starving stars
their shimmer growing dimmer til light withers
will you search a famished universe to find me
a spec of earthly widow dust settled stilled
sweet Venus intercede before dark recedes
listen a nightingale’s sonnet song rides the air
melody’s flame melts ice-blonde moonbeams
a buttery pool the singer’s smitten spotlight
his rhapsody brims his beloved to swoon
oh Venus let lyric desire be my angel’s glide path
in a state of half a dream and half awake
sensual my soulmate
an invite for my griever skin to tingle to thaw
touch me warm my angel touch me warm
billow tender breeze through window’s yawn
pale cheeks brushed lips shushed a lover’s rush
light as a scarf’s silk slide I tremble
soft breaths move the curtains and swell my sighs
wind spirit purrs my name I close my eyes
ethereal presence your physical absence
how poetic this ache throbbing the same space
inside a pearl weary and weeping for you
