a romance

i don't know...a woman and a tree

I have seen her broken body

Her naked smile

Tasted her pear dreams

And muttered nightmares

Felt sighs that tore her seams

And the delicate lace dress she wore

Heard hidden desires sleeping beneath her breath

And the burning of her heart’s fire

 

I have seen her hidden secrets

Slumped silently in the shadows of her laugh lines

Tasted the long blissful kiss of her eyes

And the cabernet notes of her song

Felt the flutter of fingers like butterflies

And the rainbow of their coats

Heard confessions that hung like art

And the bell of lust rung

 

I have sung in gusty whispers

Harmony to her manic vespers

Through chlorophyll teeth

 

Caressed the knots of her spine

 

I know there’s times she wished I was a pine

Though either way it’s evident

No accident will have her see

Passed the issue that I’m a tree.

I like the way you tinted this with admiration and gentle eyes filmed with love. Beautiful piece.
