​
Locks flowing like a hurried river bend;
Bright kindness shines through the green of his eyes.
Blushed, chapp’d flesh where our two bodies blend;
Ol’ve fingers encompass my waist. Surprise
Catches me as my heart cascades further.
I love you as the flowers love the sun-
An expert of your soul, a connoiss’ur
Of your being; adoration outdone.
Je T’aime. Ti amo. A world of my love
For you. Two pieces of a puzzle glu’d
Together, fits like a newly-bought glove.
Infatuation in new amplitudes-
You, my love, teach new warmth and endearment.
Mark my heart with a permanent indent.
Vibrant Dreams
Xandr
Deepest shades of purple-blue
As the stars dip low
Sunset lights up darkened dunes
(as) Blackened soils flow
Ship and crew back out to sea
All their wares yet sold
Merchant sloops set sails, be free
From ports (both) new and old
(oh) Ancient tree, your branches span
‘Cross the shadowed skies
Still beyond this nightlit land
(your) Roots and flowers lie
Painted blossoms border streams
Petals drift and float
(their) Colors bursting out from dreams
Thay each contest and gloat
