T.L.C.

Angels built bridges to negate 

the land between us; spanning 

psychic rivers, 

laying heartbeat highways 

until all roads led to you. 

Telegraph wires sang 

sonnets in the air; birds 

scattered 'lest such poetry 

stun their flight 

and cuff them to the earth. 

I feel you everywhere, 

in every breath and motion; sleep, 

when it lays rest my brain, it is 

your lips kiss out the lights. 

It is your hands that 

tease open the blinds at dawn 

and waken me to it's glow. 

Then, beyond the ragged sphere 

of this world's failed repair, 

I heal within your arms, 

your tender loving care.
