Two Purple Lips

THE ENTIRE Earth:  a watch
that tells the heart when 
you are awake and sleeping.

I feel;

the movement of Beethoven’s
Sonatas and your dreams:
like a butterfly sighing
and escapes

from between your parting
lips dreaming of me.

Then as though upon the 
tips of tulips I am flying!
Searching vast fields to
find the one beautiful
perianth:  and your berries
within the tulip's ovary!

And now my search is found
within a forest of fragments
of greens, browns, sparrows,
and splintered wood:

The Earth's watch has stopped
for eternally us!
Away with nature's winds!

a lifetime,
a lifetime,

together within eternity
and two purple tulips
excited that fiber of time
has climaxed upon our moment!
