coconut

mixed in the breezes of my memory
stir sweet scents of you
fresh brilliance of autumn morning
pine trees after rain

at the shores of my wandering
i retrace steps with you
my nerves relive the dancing
of your eyes entwined with mine

and like summer wind through grass
i laugh aloud, aloud rejoice
the cloak of silence we shared in shelter
from the cruel teeth of words

and so i celebrate
the vibrant stillness of our meeting
unused dialogue of our blooming bodies
unfaltering fire in our eyes

so glad, so glad
that love should have stooped to bless us
with such a simple song
with such an easy song
