Elemental

And so I touched a silver sun,
Frigid still in growing days.
Groaning, waking, still in dreams,
Walking into water.

Heavy in the chest and back,
Heart held rigid, expanding.
Empathetic sponge of volcanic ash,
Still able to melt under Dixie eyes.

Ocean's orb churned nearing
Eyes that hold the sea's brine,
Sand floating as surface debris,
Infinite ripples attacking the mind.

The Southern moons hold antidotal,
Powerful, steaming, careful opening.
Gentleman charm and silvery sounds
Richly warm to taste.

And so I'm held by silver moons,
Sparking a golden ray.
Frost melts under warm water
And eyes gleam gold once more.

Heart

Feathery limbs
Threatening to float.
Stomping pulsation
Encouraging flight.
Fluttering lungs
On infinite inflation.
Words exhale
With energy retained.
Dancing mind
Spun by intake.
Sick and disabled.
Mute and on edge.
In love
And at peace.

To Know

If I knew you better, I'd say that you are kind.
Your hands are soft and gentle,
Your arms, warm and strong,
Your eyes, nice and handsome.
I'd let you take my hand, and we would walk awhile.

When I know you better, I'll tell you what a nice smile you have.
Your lips look soft and gentle,
They must be warm and strong.
I'll ask if I can kiss them,
And you'll be much obliged.

Say I grew to know you well enough to open up my hearet.
Your words so soft and gentle,
Your promises warm and strong.
To call me sweet and beautiful
And offer to let me have your heart.

Suppose I told you I loved you
On a night so cool and peaceful,
With the stars gleaming and leaning in
To hear you ask for my hand.
And, like a nice girl, I would consent.

If I knew you better, I'd skip the trite formalities.
I'd pull you by the collar,
Take those luscious lips for mine,
Whisper entrancing, secret phrases,
Give you all that I can afford to give.
If I love you, I won't wait to tell you.
