Watching your body drift
Across the blue hue
The sounds of the crickets
Leap creaking noise into my reddened ears

As the birds fly back to your warmth
I see your shape: life full
Your eyes closed in a state of quiescence

Watching you as you undress
Your form: divine and crescent
Thick scent you bring with you
from the deep ends of the savannah
Welcoming all of us you dare to find air

Yes, I see you
In all your dappled yellow glory

Yes, I see you with my evening by your side

Sunshine

She gets more intriguing
by the second, in her eyes
I see my vision, my voice
Holding a flame, I ignite her
From soul, we talk, we combine
Without her, I’m darkened

Dreaming of her burning skin
A sun flower always blooming
Come rain, come snow
It’s sunshine when she’s around
