Lofting

Lofting
Under a
Slopping roof
With special 
Purpose.
Looking
Up towards
An upper story
Past the slope 
Of the face
Of your head.

Lofting
With you
My armored hero
With whom mystic words
Are spoken.
To whom's
Tender weapon
I am open
In this atmosphere 
Of wonder.

Aloft
So high
My soul's 
Been driven.
Exploding 
With depth 
Charges
Under siege 
With little 
Coaxing
As mysterious as ever.

Aloft
Go
My sweet surrender.
That no incantation
Can summon.
As i watch 
You stand with
Dignity and character.
Wanting you
Like no other.

There
Are places
I remember.
Lists and chats
With tales of 
Angels, angst and fire.
Alternate universes 
With unknown
Destructive powers.
Of all of those
I love you better.
