low tides and little rain, the canals are quiet
and warmer, in their knowing, i call your name,
you, you
you for whom i loud in soul and heart
despite the clouds
trying to conjure the thunderheads
solid blues, slow vinyl records,
i remembered that for you i left the back door open
above,
like underwater blurs,
times yet uncreated
in the bluish eye
of flame, the clear, wide windows
as i separate the velvet curtains from each other
of a night, i pull white cottons off the bed,
all only threads of the mundane
my roses say,
quiet, quiet
so that quiet grows around them
melt the icebergs
of blue sugars say,
i am the summer dreams
A little more:
Sometimes winters are long, but the flames in our heart keep burning, and will warm us. Keep on dreaming, keep on believing, and let the back door open for these dreams to come into your warm and loving home. They will. The right person will too. It’s inevitable. What you seek is seeking you. Then, now, always.

And below is from one of my most unforgettable days and evenings, somewhere in the southern Aegean Sea, off the coast of Santorini.
I smell summer coming.
And it smells like love.


My {poem + story} series includes:
- all i ever wanted
- look beyond the senses, to the soul
- my body, a wild sculpture of rainlife
- the opening
- sew the raspberry leaves in our bedsheets
- the bluish eyes of flame
- for you, i left the back door open
- chai
- tiny plutonian moon
- the night we swam in the sea
- you smell like moonlight on my skin
- i want to marry you in blue
- he steps into the sea
- kiss on the wrist
