Take me to where
there’s fireflies
a place lush and green
with lavender skies
Where sweet-scents of night-blooms
cling to my hair-
as we walk hand in hand
with nary a care
Strolling through dark wood
now, a corn-flower blue night
I dance barefoot in a circle
to the full moons’ delight
You slip strong arms around me-
I soar like a kite
at the taste of your kisses
and the flex of your might
As you lead me slowly
to a clearing of grass
This love of ours fills me
with its form and its mass
We lay in the meadow-
entangled, embraced
as my fingers, in shadow
trace the lines of your face
Our eyes, they speak timeless-
the Fates linked us on high
with a rumble of thunder
and a flash in the sky
Nothing now but cool mist
is moving between us
opposites, we are one-
your Mars to my Venus
With peace as our blanket
First light starts to break
as the sun peeks through treetops
I dream, awake
Sparrows are chirping-
our bed of grass is all dewy
while you sleep, I start counting
all the ways that you move me
My still waters are stirred
by your light and your heat-
with your sharp wit and sweet charm
there’s none who compete
I knew it first
and I’ll know it at last
the time we misspent
Is all in the past
Here we are now-
the way it should be
Me, here for you
and you, finally, for me
You infuse me with strength
and fill the blue of my eye
whenever you lead me
to lavender skies
Sun shining, no matter
or in the rain when it pours
wherever you go
please take me, I’m yours.
