waiting
Over the place where she had been buried
as per her request, they’d placed a marble statue
of her former self in a restful sleep
her hands placed gently across her chest.
And, also, as per her request,
several rose bushes had been trained
to envelope the marble curves of her body
in long prickly vines
that blossomed each spring.
It was rumored by most that some day
her lost love would arrive
and with a kiss
wake the statue into flesh
as it secretly had been infused
with her soul.

waiting
open mouth
A mammoth cave
deep under the ground
where people live off the energy
of an ancient blue creature
a primeval dragon
shackled and harnessed
slowly dying
over a span of centuries
for crimes
long since forgotten.
Night perpetual
over long spindly structures
that stretch
from floor to ceiling,
perspective lost
in a maze constructed,
yet made organic
by the passage of time.
People climb and walk
here and there
through vapors gray
and dim shining violet lights,
carrying on the duties of life
with faces hidden
in breathing masks
and body forms buried
in long flowing robes;
each soul lost
in their own private world
of shadows.
The meeting of lips here
between two non-designated procreators
could mean death
in a place where too much fresh air
burns the lungs
and passion is seen
as the height of sin.

stealing a kiss
Light feathery white clouds
float around a bright full moon,
the wind rustles the leaves faintly,
I move in toward you
to try and capture a kiss,
you yield for a moment
soft, tender velvet;
but you push me back –
I shall never forgive you for this,
you warn
even as you lean back in
your liquid feminity drowning me
in bliss.

stealing a kiss
first kisses
These were first kisses
hot and desirous,
flushed faces
tinged with curiosity
and with thrill
set against the backdrop
of a setting sun
and a cool breeze
up upon a hill
with Venus looking on
at love so guileless,
it hurt.

first kisses
kiss me
Reality
ready to burst in
at a moment’s notice.
Teach me less me
and more you —
a fantasy
rattling around the firmament
that keeps me standing;
a dream
of a kiss from you
that wakes me.
