Notes About The Poem

From the anthology, Monster Trees, a work in progress.

Truly I Cannot

Truly I Cannot

Truly I cannot surpass 
this serene soul ride with you, 
your quiet-eye caresses, like petals 
of the primrose, falling from calm gusts 
after a rain, disclose in the stars my hand 
to grasp the hidden stone contained within.
I am convinced there are steep canyons 
in your soul, as I turn the brass key 
to our door of private delights, 
our paradise so exciting, 
so shattering to the touch, 
we can bear no more.
In your face there is an astonishing peace,
So intense, so fragrant of love’s perfume,
I wonder if it is possible to breathe again.
