Lover (poem 2000)

 Lover


Endless embrace!

The night chills—I dream

What could better calm me

Your arms enclosed—love


Pale fixed eyes

Gaze into my ginger pools

Holding fast this last twinkling

Dawn threatens to steal


Whiskered smile

Tickling past my tender skin

Lingered points—brief touch

Dancing elves—each one


Awaken!

No, let me lay with you

Holding on to night

To give in—to lose
