love posted by imani , Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 11:21 AM, in Labels: ars poetica

awakened by your voice, your touch that resemble
water, this song uttered in lonesomeness, sighed
when all is silent and the echo of your heart beat
battles the unraveling, seductive fire

that belongs to your light, enclosing the sudden and
fragile glance that bends frail reveries,
solemn nights crashing with thoughts of you
chasing the lost, languishing, leaning

scent of this burning under stones and secrets
parting the withering, infallible trace of white
my parched, starved memory keeps

to breathe you in each time i surrender to the clasping grace
of a moonlit banquet ~ your lips, your face, your hands
my body rests in fragments wanting all of you.
