last night, i had a dream:
my love gathered me in his arms,
whispered to me in rouge, the incandescent roots of his need,
called me his pretty, little/petite,
and observed
sun-kissed petals unfurl, shedded seeds of peony-infused symphonies trigger the once-docile riots unstitch themselves from my skin like doves freed under the tyranny of a million others,
oh, how i watched him stride across my dreamscape and swallow down the confessions of my desire through the bitterness of a prescribed penance.
- i had burned with a fervour so-intense; its only hope of being extinguished lied at the union of our heartbeat.
now here i am, summoning the echo
of your apricot-sweet bisous on
my lips, nestled in the remnants of your warmth,
glowing golden under the glimmering gaze of your grace,
stomach churning, a cherry-red washed down by the phantom of your poetry tucked beneath my tongue,
the strawberry moon shaped shadow of your lips pressed into the alcove of my cherry-red stained neck.
- here i am, half-beaming with marigolds blooming in the pits of my soul -searching for yours, twin-flame.
tonight i follow your footsteps
pave a path to the very entrance
of your castle,
stood in all your glory, six foot one,
fur tipped wings spanning out in
a gentle, manly, kind-of fashion only
you can master,
your sculpted head of tangled curls
- michelango’s muse -
i call you,
and we collide, bursting brighter than
supernovas,
we are immortals- immortalised by Love.
so i take flight with you
for the first time,
flushing shades darker than
the lilac temple of lavender branchlets
you planted in my cranium,
utterly strengthened by our union.
l’amour de ma vie,
oh, how you liberate me.
