My Love, Chi

Your skin glows like the pears, 

                                       blossoms solemn as the old rose 

                                           in the purest hope of spring.

                                My yearning heart rises to your guitar voice 

                        and leaps like a bird at the whisper of your name, Chi.

                             The evening ascends in on a great peacock wing.

                                             I am calmed by your toxedo
                   
                              that I carry into the twilight of boardwalkbeams 
 
                                               and hold next to my arms. 

                          I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of wine. 

                     As my lips falls from my vest, it reminds me of your paradise. 

                    In the hushed, I listen for the last rock music of the spring.
 
                                         My heated eyes leaps to my dress. 

                              I wait in the crystal moonlight for your secret Cafe 

                                 so that we may embrace as one, eyes to eyes,

                        in search of the glorious black and spiritual Adonis of love.
