XII

at the touch of you

i melt

into your flame

the heat

drawing me like a moth

to your full embrace

unsure

yet assured

refining is needed

and your love is enough

to bring me out as gold

bright shining

like your star of the morning

brilliantly arrayed

in your hand prints...

XVIII

here’s to you

the best of good

the creme de la creme

my soul’s desire

branded upon my heart

in each beat

engraved in my being

like diamond dust on molten rock

here’s to you

my love of loves

my soul’s desire

sweet breath of life

may i attempt to love you

with all of me

though it measures

one quarter to your full

here’s to you

dear love
