Soul Shavings

Remain silent until it's time
 to love again

Finger touches and tongue tips
  dance again

Rain drops coursing leaf veins
 I want to stencil my name
all over your anatomy
   as if I never had before

Magnified insight
  finding new ways to envelop
    your light

Soul shavings on bad days
  don't need it all
 the tiniest portion of you
   will do

Sometimes my poetry needs
  time for you to seep into 
  my vocabulary

to understand that perfect ground
you fall upon.
