Periwinkle Promises

Close your eyes
inhale roses-
love-glazed steam 
of insatiable thirst;
place your thoughts 
upon my heart,
feel my 
voice s w i r l i n g
in sync with 
periwinkle promises 
whilst devouring 
unfurled petals 
facing ebony skies, 
tenderly sketching 
silhouettes with 
vanilla drops;
for you and I, 
we are interwoven 
souls through 
cosmic t r a n c e…
               forevermore.
Tonight when dusk
transcends the
darkest twilight,
I’ll allow these 
thoughts to
d r i f t into a magical
meadow where 
butterflies b o u n c e
from wavy blades,
reflecting our love
    in unspoken shades.

I’ll wait for you,
to relearn what
it means to be 
the flesh and 
bone of summer…
as this longing
    c a s c a d e s 
    in 
sherbet hued 
   cherry blossoms.

And if 
  the moon
    refuses 
           to rise,
I’ll sketch your
pearlescent smile
across g r e y i n g
spheres, like the 
first
   glimpse 
of 
morning crescent;
unveiling verses-
s p i r a l i n g as mystical
milky-ways within…
emanating candy 
     coated cologne..

So find me
    between
    flickering afterglows,
l i s t e n to the 
   whispering willows, 
seek shelter beneath
autumnal rainbows,
amidst m o v i n g seasons,
for two hearts
that beat the same,
would always find
their rhythm amidst 
many seas 
ruffling with ripples
of aching dreams,
between them~
although virtual
hugs are all we have
to keep our
    f r e e z i n g 
souls of summer 
   warm and in sync.
