Notes About The Poem
NEW - NEW - NEW - NEW
The embedded YouTube video was done before the rewrite below. So now you have both versions.
This link will take you to you tube where I read the poem before the re-write and you can see me live with my new haircut. I know I know. Big deal right? Right? I post on you tube under the name Armand Aleg but you only need to click or touch the link to get there.

Here I am reading a poem when I was growing my hair to donate it.

Listen to poem:
Where Your Eyes Shine I Want To Lie Down
where crystals gleam
i want to lie
where the scented lily opens
reveals its stamen
tender as babies breath
as unavoidable as our sun's and moon's provocative union
as desirable as a cooling whisper on a hot humid day
as necessary as the blistering heat
a dream yet to be dreamt
in my wanting
an explosion
an us reality
you are the joy of laughter
boxed, wrapped, gifted
all the gems of no monetary value - priceless
moments absorbed fully
womanhood sings
and i respond in kind
climb beyond frozen minds
where pianos open
radiate warmth
cradle purity
my will nestled in the notes
where crystals gleam
i want to lie
