Sunshine summer raining down
On naked breath, hope
Racing to meet the echoes
Promises awakened on the caress
Of light, stirring, silencing
Every dark thought – as my fingers work
Struggling to grasp every plump
Blackberry without grazing the thorns
From the briars where such blessed
Goodness survives the showers
Who pound away at the earth, erasing
Every doubt that this luscious
Flavor, blackberry heaven, could ever
Be surpassed by any other suggestion
Extract of sweetness, delectableness
The taste of blackberry ecstasy
Awaiting my drooling tongue, it’s destiny!

Peacock pleasures
Prancing pride fully
Yet playfully pure
Giant gossamer gestures
Glittering graciously
With gliding gracefulness
Demure delicate deer
Dainty and delightful
Inspiring delectableness

I hungered
for your moon
last night-
craved all the things about
you that make you,
well… you.
I craved your twilight and
twinkling stars,
not knowing what I would
taste in return.
Throughout the galaxy,
you emanate all
things good that the universe
offers.
I shall relish the moonbeams
you reflect with such ease.
The cosmos have nothing on
you...
sweetheart.
I thirsted for your moonshine
like a daydream lost in its
slumber.
In the orb of night we shall
become one and idle on into
the constellations.
For no one can be what you are
to me,
and I am everything to you.
The celestial fiery sky will
always know our love.
They will see it for generations
and even after that.
Planetary moments bring us to
where we are today and there
is nothing that can stand in
our way.
I hungered
for your moon
last night-
Brought one spoon for us
to share in the delectableness
of our romance.
When the solar eclipse appears,
we will savor with each gentle bite.
