You are like the ghostly green penumbra
of a firefly on a damp Southern night.
Haunting and nebulous
I watch you pass into my dreams
with saintly restraint.
Your heart partially undressed
as you hold the door open
for me to follow you
to places inscrutable.
Behind your smile,
a kind of prayer
upturned and quixotic.
I love you until it burns.
–
My bare breasts sink
into your plaintive microcosm.
Your smooth
animal warmth
falling in waves
around me.
Your cautious tongue,
your misplaced hands
swirling the ether
within and without.
–
Once I had a name for you
(I called you Axel, DM)
Once I had a name for us
(I called us twinflames)
a name to coalese and clarify
but now I see that
we are altogether new.
–
Now I call you
DL
(introduce yourself)
Dream Lover
Down Low
because you
are a secret
because you
are a mystery
Divine Liason
because you
connect me
to something
bigger
than I am alone.

I am so RUSTY also very emotional today so gibberish?
