In your forest / a mushroom with stalk / I devour whole.

Male bird on branch / softly singing from heart / hidden female listens from above.

This rapid water / in between thrusts / carries us

Love's wide expanse / between koi and moon / you and I.

Mighty crimson moon / yet butterfly wings ripple / the still pond.

The orchid / gentle curves / in all the right places.

Warm evening / after lovemaking / the scent of lavender.

Your handprints / in the curve / of my back.

Dusk / while you whisper / hot breath in my ear.

Upon meeting you now / the painful thorns / in my mouth.

Your questions / swirl around the edges / and drain me.

Saffron sun / heavy spring dew / peony blossoms arch.

Lovemaking / in soft rain / our lines blurred.

Stark crimson sunset / echo of deep sapphire sea / you fade into sky.

Raven calls / to this dark sky / cold black coffee sits trembling.

Choosing the most exquisite blossom / swaying in gentle breeze / spring evening.

Inhaling white clouds / no longer seeking solace / exhaling white clouds.

Pampas grass frolicks / morning dew clings to leaf tip / our limbs still entwined.
