*

My fingers feather touch

Across your cheek gliding

Your lips on my face

Knowing heaven

Here on earth

*

Your breath whispers

Against my neck

Hold me long enough

So love reaches

All of us

*

Our words dance joy

In daylight starlight

Laughter jewels the air

With possibilities

*

The talon grip

Of history’s wounds

Love’s newborn flesh

Old armor donned blinds

Insight hiding truth

But a moment

Love hopes

*
