I feel
in the kiss of a rose
the scent of silk
caressing the eyes
seduction in every petal
enchantment in every bloom
I find
in the penumbra of shy crescents
a shadowplay across the unseen
beauty
the surreal flight
of tigers and nudes
posed upon black sand
of dreaming birds gliding through contrast
their aqueous wings brightly singing
upon these water colors
of ancient light
I hear
in the temporal blur
between black and white
flowing through a memory
delicate filagree of dark tresses
seafoam curls upon her thighs
submersed in the blood of my veins
I touch
fingertips in a satin dance
across her garden glowing
a face in bliss
surrendering to
the undeniable
