You’re like glass among plank windows
You stay gleaming in my eyes
Soft and shimmering,
Wild and free
You open for light like bible pages
I want to read the chronicles of your smiles
You’re like the Plateau, where it’s cold
You blow shivers to my heat
Staunch and sultry
Wild and free
You’re embellished with life like mother’s beads
I want to see the genesis of your seeds
You’re like a verb in death’s silos
You lay active in my eyes
Calm and towering
Brave in undefeat
You open for life like flower buds
I want to sip the sweetness of your gums
You
You
You
