The pampas grasses' tassels start to show
Creamy white against green
Behind the Crepe Myrtle's color
Banked like a sunrise preened
Gray clouds tinged with luminous light
From clear to magenta
A somber morn parenthesized
By stillness; fear enters
Silvery blanket drapes the woods
A foggy damp surrounds
Crickets sing a chipper melody
'Pon the damp, cool ground
Roosters' crows fall flat in the vale
Weighted by the moist air
Birds begin to awake and sing
Songs of love ending fair_
What will this day's purpose reveal?
Good, evil or neutral?
Only God knows ahead the events
Even the unusual

When listening to her heart beat
I can hear the metronomic murmurs of string
and wind instruments blending
into a susurrous symphony
(expunging note upon note through my soul)
that goes from quiver to calm while pressed
against rhythms of her undulating breasts
the chorus harmonizes in whispered
reverberations “I love you” wrapping
each softly plucked chord around
my name that is parenthesized
in soothingly shaded tones of “mine”

(Do not allow yourself to be parenthesized
The print of your baby finger spills over the edges
Of those brackets.
You should never be an afterthought,
A clause he can delete.
Your hands fill paragraphs
The life lines and love lines
Stitch together the pages of the book
That is your body.
The stu
Stu
Stutter trapped between your lips
When you try to say his name
Builds the steps
In the library that is your soul
The blush of your cheeks fills windows with light
And you should never let him tell you otherwise.)
