Davina

The sky was Goddamned brilliant that day,
azure and infinite.
You held my hand
as we waded through
waves of golden grasses.
The sky was so damned brilliant that day,
every cloud bleached …

The Tree
and The Wind
slid
against
each other
under
the deep
blue
velvet night.
They
swayed
and they
bent
and they
whispered
seductive
secrets
into
the dark.
The Tree
was …

Your eyes
are two
seas
reflecting
prisms
of
the sun.
I lift
my hand
to shade
my face
and
find
myself
consumed
by warmth.
I dig
my toes
into the
hot
sand
and
embrace
The …

Lightning bugs
kept spattering
against the
windshield.
He stared
at the
glowing
guts
until
they
faded away.

‘What happened to us?’
he asked,
plaintively.

I kept
my eyes
on t…

Your
words
are
shards
of flint,
relentless
relentless
re
lent
less
ly
striking
against
my
shielded
heart,
sparking
flames
in my
tinder
love
and the
tongues
of fire,
h…

The trees were melting
under a pale
moonlight
and we
stood around
in the dewy grass,
our feet bathed
in shadows.
Our voices
mingled with
the breath
of the branches,
and our laughter…

His hands
slide over
my skin
like slugs,
leaving
slimy trails
that no one
else
can see.
He pokes
and
he prods
my sacred
places,
infecting them
with
terminal disease.
He gleans…

He is
the bump
in the night,
and the shape
in the sheets,
the shadow
on the floor,
the creek
in the door,
the face
in the window,
and the whisper
in the dark

and hes…

I was just
a hunk of metal,
cold and hard
and forged in
neglect.
I was just
waiting there,
a stander by,
rigid in my own life.
And here you came,
walking and talking
and laughing and…

So what
if
the earth
falls apart
around me?
The Sun
incinerating
the breath
from my
lips.
The ground
buckling
beneath my
feet.
The seas
all overflowing,
washing away
indisc…

Your words
radiate
from you
like
the Sun
fractured
into
infinite
burning
ideas,
arousing
my senses
with
rays
of
fervent
beliefs
and I
bask
in their
incandescence,
my heart…

His
eyes
are
a storm
at sea
and I am
helplessly
torn
from my
buoy,
cast into
tempestuous
waters
and left
breathless.
But I
am not
afraid.
I
gulp
resolve
into
m…

I would
drink
an ocean
of my acrid tears
to see
your incandescent
smile again.
I would
shrivel
in absolute black
to see
your beloved face
basking in the Sun again.
I w…

The night ate up
the miles like a glutton,
and we traveled
between empty fields
and through thick woods
encroaching the road.
Our voices
and the crickets
chorused in harmony,
a…

Our words drifted
from
our smoky lips,
and gathered over
our heads
like a
radiant nimbus,
rendering us
deities,
passing through
the jeweled night
on wings of
enlightenment.

Your eyes
and the
night
are the same
darkened blue,
surrounded
by a
million points
of light,
and their
luminosity
pervades
my senses
and sets
my soul
on fire.
Your eye…

How I wish
that I were a pear,
all goldeny-green
and freckled
from basking
in the Sun.
If I were a pear,
you would hold me
in your strong,
gentle hands,
cupping my curves
and warming…

You
are unassuming beauty,
rare and sublime.
A treasure
not small,
a gift
not insignificant.
You
are cerulean seas,
lavish in mystery,
fathomless
in your
depth.
You
are a symphony…

In the dark
of the night,
I kissed you.
Your mouth
tasted warm
and sweet
like
ripened pears,
and
your hands
nestled
in
my dark
tangle of hair.
In the glow
of the moon,
you hel…

Im standing
right in front of you,
so you can easily
take me
into your arms
and wrap me in them,
comforting me
with your fiery,
fierce love.
Im listening
with unassuming ears,
so I c…
