SPIRIT IN BEING

               Sitting upright, high body tall and straight at edge of bed, Anna smiled as he leant in stand, face and body low to hers; grace of his kiss, supple and warm upon her lips of same, grasp of his hands to her tops of breasts, strong and firm—his feeling through—as kiss built in join […]

MIRROR-REFLECTION

               Through view of lens, she found her joy again—two smiles and spirits in summer day in age of imagination and play.                 Through the lens, greater world blocked away, and she saw only the smiles and happiness of their little world made in closeness and share of surroundings as lived and perceived.                “Look […]

SHADOWSIDE

        He sat on the porch in the afternoon, shade of the wide-spread maple before.  Its leaves were darkened on shadowside from sun, and for the first time in many weeks, aside from storms, there was neither excesssive heat nor burden.  T-shirt, linen shorts, shade of the tree; there was a comfort.         […]

WAY TO SAY

               Anna read the words, whole of story’s tell.  After, she blushed through sun tan of summer face, warm-rose behind the sun-riched hue.                “I want to write art,” he told, “to write it as it seems to me—reality or dreams.  I want to write of romance.  I want to write of love; and too […]

READY

               One last time, before change’s arrive, they made love in the high vault room.  Symbol-sign of prairie oak, black image, framed upon wall of white.                 Resting on floor—gentle—he guided her in recline, weight of her body lightened in posture and the lie.  Upward stare to ceiling above, shone moon-roof’s window-cast of cross in […]

LOVE’S ONE

               He loved the way she brushed her hair, drew gently off to side; downcast of her focused eyes in straddle of him beneath; take of her hand, guide of her hold, slow ease and fall over full of him; thrust of his hips, lift of her body deep settled to his lap; his hands […]

REVERIE-DREAM

               Sunlight fell and ambiance of room darkened as it did.  Night set further in.                 Candles lit on tables about, they and stars and silver of crescent moon through trees in summer canopy were the only light that shone into recess of the country home.                Anna lain on sofa, body long, on side […]

SIGN

               Sunflowers, daisies, and lupine dappled in bloom and color of glade.  Yellows, white, and columned magenta-violet hues flowered in the sun.                 Each step, they rose climbing nearer to life and source of bloom; sun’s burn in the high and thinning air.                Granite peaks surrounded in crown place sacred in their hearts; visitation […]

FULL AND CHANGE

               Anna believed with time and change his desire would wane but in pleasure learned, like she, desire only grew.  Such is love for spirit beyond fixation to the flesh.  Still, he loved hers too.                He knew they would not be like this forever.  They would not be as this for long, and so […]

NO LONGER

               In micro-season of greater summer, when one day it can rain heavy in fall and by next earth is dust again, they walked the trail under cover of woods, each step raising light the earth dusting air and boots.                 She noticed the minute, curl of fallen leaves to ground, vein-spread through living still […]
