Beloved, I'm yours.
Intrinsic reality -
you coursing through me.


The Haiku Challenge


To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive ... and impoverished.
-Roland Barthes

Your rainbow, I love

Show me your colors.
I don’t want your black and white.
Stroke me with your stains.

Tints of all pigments,
Illuminate the hueless,
swallow the sallow

with blush complexion.
Give pallidity pigment.
Erase ebony,

Wash away the white.
Paint me a picture of pink.
Your rainbow, I love.
YOUR RAINBOW, I LOVE.
Your rainbow, I love,
paint me a picture of pink,
wash away the white.

Erase ebony
give pallidity pigment
with blush complexion.

Swallow the sallow,
illuminate the hueless.
Tints of all pigments.

Stroke me with your stains.
I don’t want your black and white.
Show me your colors.

Never the same

Moment to moment
shifts keep me always guessing
as to who you are.
 
He never felt twice the same about the flecked river,
Which kept flowing and never the same way twice, flowing
Through many places, as if it stood still in one.... Wallace Stevens

Blue Pull

The push and the pull
that we have been reduced to,
we dance, we stumble.
