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.
