knight's respite

sleep sweet child
in the  calm of your recaptured innocence
the world and its cares
will impose themselves soon enough
for now in this oasis
rest in my arms while I hum a lullaby
letting me believe I played a part
in your rescue

relative

maybe the moth was minding its own business

affectation

I have a cunning cocktail glass
emblazoned with a shell
with rocks and spirit of my choice
it surely is a swell
accoutrement to help project
the image I desire
but 'bout it's cunning swizzle stick
I sorely am confused
does bulbous end go up or down
we're surely not amused

balance

beware euphoria love brings
supporting cantilever's stings
are equally compelling

going through the motions

who are you today
the weight of calculation
must make you weary

spring eternal

wouldn't it just make your day
to see that look
you know the one
dissolve mirror's regret

blush

it's less about the things we do
     though parted lips
     and darting tongues
     with quickened breath
     and skin on skin
     friction
     just enough
     to make long dormant embers glow
     on edge ...
                       ...of open flame ...
     sounds nice
and more that i am into you
that makes the color rise
