your embrace
Akua Allrich ©2010
tempered fingertips touch the surface just enough to surpass.
trembling skin betrays this structure made of warm glass
shake the walls and wake the half opened wild carrot
instant build of perspiring thoughts running this heart’s gamut
gasp the air in lungs filled with marking scent directed at me
blinded by hard emotion i kneel in submission to this sea
waves of fire and sugar water, overtake this vessel now undone
eyes clenched unable to reject the warmth of this sun
pulling close what poets dream to write
nights in streams of guided light
kiss the air you breathe in
fear eyes seen once before and now again
bathe in your waters of honeysuckle and rose mint
enter the layered words unspoken but still sent
i stand in awe of this place
simple,
yet perfect
i am filled by your embrace
