Wait just a little longer before
pulling the final petals from this flower.
She cannot hear your deliberations
of love or not while decapitating
something so fragile.
Let this one, solitary beauty remain
broken, decimated.
But alive.

Her lips
She has given me access
to all her lovely parts.
Most captivating
to me, by far
are her lips,
red and,
poised.
Afterward
They stretch out tender bodies,
limp and warm after sex.
Resting peacefully,
they find themselves
in stillness
and, in
love.
When we could see
When we could see the farthest,
our mouths were open wide.
Our silent words sang –
our hearts, aglow
with wonder.
Come, and
see.
When life makes you pause
The universe is perfect,
when all we know is love.
The best of our lives
is gratitude:
to wonder
with new
eyes.

Dangling feet
The simplest pleasures we’ve known
are those without contempt
for light and goodness
personified.
Dangling feet
make sense
here.
If we are made in God’s image and God sings, then we should be singing, too.
