CLOSER
CLOSER
most times it is not clear
what the day will bring.
the world spins
the sun rises and
either blares its orange yellow-ness
across the sky,
or hides and disappears
behind those trickster clouds;
sometimes dowsing us with
melancholy and acidic tears.
~~~
one day it would be nice -
(a definition: flowing apricot words,
sweet, as if they were diluted with honey)
to have young legs
and feet that could walk
smoothly by your side,
close, almost touching,
keeping pace with a changing world.
~~~
a world that allows
close, closer, closeness -
(a definition: the way a warm, whispered
breath feels just before a kiss)
while sharing a bed roll ‘neath autumn skies;
sharing dreams, writing haiku,
affecting reality
and the subtlety of innuendo.
~~~
most times it is not clear
what the day will bring.
the world spins us
close, closer
to either enlightenment
or oblivion -
(a definition: sitting on the rim and staring
into the infinity of a black hole).
