Let It First Taste

If this raw flame
should go out,
let it first taste
the vibrant fast twitch
muscle fiber
of willing thighs,
and the quivering
tuning forks' reach across
an unknown universe,

let it taste
the doomed sea floor
heartbroken
before the mermaids' rescue
and your heroic lips
pressed into my soul's
secret retreats

let it taste
the sublime upheavals
of your victories
violent with wet perfume
and feast in
its humid bliss

let it taste,
and I will forever embrace
the drenching
of my light

Dreams of Your Elegant Escape

sing me your
dreams of the firefly
escape
beyond the wind chimes'
uneven
evening reach

let me
dream of your elegant
bones
within this world
of
watery touch

let me
bathe in naked
starlight
with music releasing
me
from my thoughts

let me
be gone with
you
with clear eyes
of
perfect light
