We leave our hearts in the snow,
no last goodbyes left
to melt the ice clinging to the edges.
I wonder if is it possible to lose it all —
heart, mind, soul,
in a single breath —
the one you took with that kiss

Blue seas have their own language.
The undulation of dark through light
whispers and roars,
the world becomes strange
day to night. We search the silence
for words unsaid, feelings unfelt,
everything we’ve ever known …

A sweet October wind touches me
as sunlight trails a lovers
kiss across my skin;
the trees dance their last dance
before winter.
Leaves for the leaving.
A bittersweet farewell in umber,
the fall of red and gold
imbued with the longing
of a parting kiss.

Like air, I’ll rise
you cannot see me
yet I’m felt
like the wind that whispers your name
or touches you
unexpectedly
a cool caress upon your cheek
.
Like air, I’ll rise
and greet your lips
in a kiss
and like a snowflake
melt
from your heat

With every wet kiss
and every shared breath
pull me deeper into you,
until you become
the oxygen for my lungs,
the blood in my veins,
and the heat to my skin.
My unmet fire
unfettered
in your hands
becomes a blazing need
liberated.

Breathe out the fire of this desire
and allow the flames
to crackle.
Burning up the hours
between yesterday
and today,
my kiss found
hidden
within the smoke signals
drifting
upon the horizon.
