I will roll on into the darkness of the nightLike the candle’s single flame that casts its lightInto every crevice of shadow made in dayComing forward with new dimension lit full faceAs with the moon renewed in her quiet darkOpens nude bosom to reveal the brightness of her heartI will call out the name of…

Love like tree frogs make in rainbow trees
Let’s bury the hatchetWe can’t cut down the pastSo let’s take rest in its shadeAnd tear up the rootsFor clinical examinationOf the scars that match our heartsOr the marks made in the trunkCarving here lies foreverThat love that love that loveMade against a rainbow headboardWhile the world rained upon usDimensia unfolded like fruit peels overripeAmongst…
