Sun kisses sky
pink strands of love
pathways of the dawn

I’m shaking off
the night, florid dreams
where you & I

dance the dance
we’ve always stepped
though I threw away

the tune, laid the lyrics
bare, for other’s eyes.

There’s a flower
in my heart, with
your name on it:

the years have
kept it moist
as fresh as ever:

when we walked
n talked the length
of bearded beach

together.

Yes, sun kisses sky
pink strands of love
like fingers reaching

tips across a void
now and every night
I call to you from

my dreams:
but you reply
in cipher.
