Leaves of Love 2


Alone staring at the blank fading walls,
the moon’s pearl projects your face in my mind,
two rafts drifting apart, a velvet wine
sea screaming, fierce, masking my roaring calls,
heart thuds like when our lips jolted it all,
a grey sheath captures your light, need to find
bread crumbs that taste as worldly and divine,
every night a retelling of our fall,

You’re the dawn I want to see when I rise,
endless eyes above an auburn smile,
You’re a silent muse helping me to fly,
you’re willing to wander the world awhile,

I’ll stare at the abyss wishing for you,
lying in leaves of love, knowing it’s you.
