Silk

Silk ribbon, airborne,
carries the calm morning scent
the velvet touch of
a summer's breeze dancing by
our rose memories,
clad in pure-white clouds singing
of autumns well-spent
and springtimes gone by too soon.
I remember it
vernal equinox and joy
unhindered for we
wrapped ourselves in each other
like the physalis
hugs its sun-red fruit, sweet calm
coiled about our limbs
and unbound our stiffened hearts.
Warm reminiscence,
cuddled 'round our sunset souls
and breathed delicate
life into our lonely lungs.
Your lavender eyes,
northern starlight bound to me,
held the universe
amidst their glittering depths.

Silk cord, we fastened
gently 'round us; never to
drift apart again.
