Electricity (for L.S.)

From a spark of brushing
arms a month before
Christmas, it has grown


into a flame which in
turn becomes fire when I
wake each morning and


think of you. The beat of my
heart started this thing the
rhythm of it sings a birdsong


of hope and of the future. I
cannot help but stare at
you; your beauty, your voice


and the glimmer of brilliance
in your every move proves
there is a fate in our connecting.


I rush to meet your words; herds
of wild horses couldn't keep me
from you. I am already filled


with the meanderings of butterflies
at the thought of seeing you again
tomorrow. Of meeting your eyes


with my own eyes. At the chance
we might brush arms again in a
spark of electricity, an explosion
of fatefulness.

Sonnet for L.S.

SONNET



In this dream I
enveloped you in a
complete cloud: held


you so closely, so
totally I almost became
you. In the waking


from the dream the
room was empty; I
wanted you to be


there but the slant
of sharp light from
the window lit nothing


but the emptiness of
a still breath.
