challis

strike the

match

the air

swirls

the flame

flickers

the wick

bows

the oil

rises

observe the

dance

of the

challis

breathe in

slowly

engaging yourself

with

the purified

air

open yourself

completely

mind, soul

body

bow in

embracing

the delicate

balance

of giving

receiving

and making

room

guino

brincaste
adentro
mi mente
con uno
guino

me   dejaste
con ganas
a saber
mas

mas
de ti


mientras que
espero
mi curiosidad
cresca

espero
a saber
mas
de ti

Sip

sip
savoring
the rejection.

it is
a fine wine
aged to perfection

in
the cellar
of  longing

bottle
the pain

now.....


wait for it


the torture
becomes
exquisite

it is
a complex
profile

a
ripe
strawberry

full
of
desire

almost
the bite of 
a kumquat

taunts
yet never
arrives

finishing
with
precious mahogany
smoldering

Gift

The greatest gift
I have ever received
Your silent no
To my silent proposal
You
Did not permit me
To change myself
for you
You refused
To accept my affections
In essence
You forced me
To occupy
My own space
I love you even more
For rejecting the offer
As I begin
To savor myself

Pacify

Floating

Just above
The surface

I comply
Trying
To pacify

This
Insatiable creature

Who occupies the space
That was once
You

Sometimes
I drift
Away

I wonder
Do you even
Realize

You  have
Misplaced

The keys to my heart

Breathe

She comes
And she goes
A breath escaping my lips

Breathe In
Her presence alone seizes me
Instantly shackled by a fleeting glance
She breathes my name
And she goes
Breathe Out

I am a hostage to my longing
For her

Stained Glass

You shed light
through
the stained glass

A quiet explosion
    of light
    of color

I bask
in the dancing colors

It is always a pleasure

As you reveal...
    Another sliver
          of the masterpiece...

Your stained glass soul!
