Uni-verse

You come up behind me - I feel

the wind that trembles the aspen leaves,

the hairs of my body whisper

under your light breath,

my body twists against you.

 

You come up behind me - I feel

water laps at the shore, ebbs and

flows as you encircle my waist,

buoys me in the undercurrent

as our lips lock.

 

You come up behind me - I feel

fire, coals blaze soundless

melodies as you lay me down,

your body melts mine.

 

You come up behind me - I feel

the grass growing in ancient oak roots,

the ant maneuvers a mushroom cap

along exposed earth,

you lift my chin to look

into my eyes.

 

You come up behind me - I feel

the storm play through the sky, rain

pelts my hair as lightning sears, thunder

echoes my love for you

as we dance in uni-verse.
