Levitating

your hands float above me;
magician with velvet cloth

your intentions strings

that levitate me

with a polar force

suspended, not bound, 

i hang with bliss

senseless to all 

save the sensation 

of heavy floating want

You are Beloved

you are beloved

admired from 

a distance and

closer than you know 

to some one 

you are the 

laughter of bliss

lit from heart center 

a dream, remembered

your lover wears 

another face 

all's been said, 

translated on 

on raised fibers 

of braille letters

caressed on 

leathered paper

you are 

some one's 

familiar

love 

Paperwhite You

Forced to push 

through tangled

tender roots. 

How hard 

your bloom 

in winter's 

bleakness.

Your fair skin 

luminescent beneath

December's wise moon.

She knows death,

and all we lose. 

You share secrets.

She whispers to you 

on the longest night.

Your blood courses, 

aligned with her

inevitable trip.

Behind sad eyes,

I see rebirth with 

each month's pass.

You cannot love sun

without her sister, 

but they will 

never force you. 

You'll grow more 

beautiful as all

of you blooms.

Hallelujah

I am a glorious
round sweet pea

on your tongue
you roll me

savor, taste
the meat of me

honor the succulent
earth in me 

see me for
the pea I be
