"Love Snippets" is a series of whimsical poems devoted to the seemingly insignificant moments that make up the substance of a romantic relationship ... the "little" things that are, in all actuality, the frosting on the cake, and the best of what ties two people together.
handfuls ...
fine argyle pleats
your breath burns ...
core-to-blood-to-exhalation
you are black flame ...
coursing veins - permeating all
pounding music throbs, carnal
tempo set to your sway ...
with you ... and in you, rooted
I find my igneous purchase
shapes fall and rise, arching ...
limbs like frantic fingers
sweet wafts of Love's Baby Soft
the tang of derma, divine ...
sublime umber tresses
sweeping my face like time
"tick-tock-tick-tock"
approach, the dawn
come, the apex ...
your fiery voice, moaning ...
my name.
