Pixie

A little chocolate syrup
dripped from the strawberry
in between your lips

A cup lowered
reflecting crystal diagonals
into my eyes

I took your fingertips
twisted them into my own
comforting latticework

the little pixie
on your pinkie
wafting in the breeze

she speaks to me
waving in glee
dimpled chin high

you take my gaze
inside mind's a haze
I can't speak 

every moment I'm with you
I know love is true

tuck me in 
with that amusement
I need your body heat

come inside
it's cold and wet tonight

thumb through the pages
of fools and sages

sit back and relax
a crackling snap
pungent smoke in the hearth

I listen to your beauty
take a sip of your melody
in communion
with your friendship 

a shift in the fire
love drifting toward desire

behind the mind's doorways
through the night fog
a lantern shines there
a fortress blackened looms
protects his bleeding heart

life seeks the everlasting
reaching out despite hope
no time for distracting

she brings her lips 
out into the abyss
where life's sips
are pure and sweet

bold love
springs like doves
into the scented moonlight.
