Yellow

I wrote a song for you
and called it yellow.
stapled it to a blue dream
and planted it beneath the seams
of a turquoise horizon.


I expect it to germinate
taint the wind with
rose petal'd scents of a
spring that would bathe

you and I till we crouched

Shrivelled beneath the sun

naked and ignored.

My love

is the wing’s span

of a weather butterfly


It commands the healing

powers of the cosmos
feeding on the union

of instinct and blood
mine is the soul's rod
prodding the shallows

of your rhythm.


My goal is to rhyme

with the silences

between

your heart's beat
so we can both beat
un-paused
to the gates of eternity


And when we reach death
our ghost sound patterns

will be heard on cypress hills
will be heard in the mire
will be heard where boulders are born.


our sonic-fied essence

will be heard by volcanoes
erupting liquid light
and with the might of breeze

our-post heart beats
would ease the fears of fire
and evaporate magma

to a warm glow...
and it shall

be called...

yellow.
