v__-

and as I peeled your laughter from
the canvas of my mind
I saw and gathered its tiny shavings

aquamarine was the onset of thy gait
like a wave washes the shore

purple was lingering resonance
of your sly peek

blue was the enormity of the sky
like dreams of being in your arms.

ocher and veridian were lonely sunsets
and melancholy like a bleeding violin


red was devotion

ocean' the depths of the ocean

indigo was the pregnant rainy sky
that burst clouds
on warm wet mud
oh how crazy
drive,dive.

put in you after every word
and this is but a lie
without you
with or without you.
i am.
