Love Poem: Indigo You Are Violet

Indigo You Are Violet

voices skating secrets across the rim of a wine glass,
breath advocating a glance. Plucking nerves like a guitar string
wind revealing the liars tongue,
never failing to encapsulate  
the quiet tuck,  serenades of existence

pouring solitude down a rusty rainspout
to particular seasons that shadow 
a present future;
as corrupted stain glass contributes
a haunted soldered image.

We never fully realize the petals won’t wilt,
gardens remain constant 
hope becoming a postal card;
parchments sealed with the adieu
real like hairline cracked sidewalks
sowed by constant sorrow.

Distribute me from your straight jacket of resents,
sanction me to feel the softness of 
the salt water breeze; 
a chance meeting with eyes unable to ascend 
knowing that the plural form of time is indigo 
you are violet.
