My Home

We entwine among boughs 
of leafy trees  in  graceful fluidity so evergreen...
  and whisper of love's harvest after gentle  drawls
rising with petals  from  coos  of evening,
       when branches  drape our secrets 
in glossed foil to amble on, 
         beyond tremble  of stars.
  
Until midnight wraps our kisses in its cooling veil,
thanking a god for  breaths which drift
                into curled wanderings , 
to awaken us upon the scent of day's blossoms…
lips stain teacup
while gauzy air cuddles our ardent pledge,

as we become one forest 
      under our shade

that I rest calmly knowing you are my home.
