we are like nothing

I have ever known, you’ve come

to me like a dream

we call our hunger

we call up this immense thirst

to quench each other

we toss together

your madness and my madness

the fun house of smiles

we pass our desires

like a contagious disease

with shivers and sighs

we are a small skiff

floating on waters of desire

hold on to your hat

we run through the springs

play in the fountains of love

wet, wet and laughing

we make things happen

we mirror lights and light stars

in stellar lagoons

we kiss, our words slide

directly from tongue to tongue

glide straight to our hearts

The 'You and I’ Haikus

your star is alive

blinking on my horizon

I stretch and crave it

I lose my balance

I hold on to your body

embracing we dance

your hands are like roots

of roses, reach deep inside

the earth my body

I feel like the earth

your hands caress the body

till it heaves with life

you are like nothing

I have ever known, you’ve come

to me like a dream

As Stories Come New

Sounds float on water

images reflect

drift and surge

into a story that builds and crumbles

voices in languorous dissolve

arpeggios ripple in small waves

dovetailing diminutive clumps

a story that forms in a whirlpool

grows into a large sweep

a vortex of waves

pushing into surrounding waters

Waves that curl and twist

then blend and rest

to sleep until the breeze

lifts them like shivering skin

a tender story anew to begin

gently melody

rising and falling cadence

me and the sea
