closer to heaven



The mind is a camera
Keeping the obscure; the shaper
Of a world of sight and touch
And time makes treasures.

 A soft set of chords and words
That keep a moment long past
As fresh as the breath we spent
Skin on skin, when lips could not say
What lips would say, and so
We painted and wrote in snail-foot movement
a wet-stained poetry

It was in a time of full moon and Jupiter
You were the altar for  passion prayers;
So many lives ago…when the heat
Of your breath solved cold winter air
And I was near inner peace...and closer to heaven.
