She's

November 18, 2014 in Poetry, Writing

Blue, brown, and white.
A light laugh and a song. 
Her hands are the dance of this steam.  
Her eyes are lit birds. 
Her neck is draped satin. 
Her voice is a softly touched sweater. 
It comforts me. 

I love her
Because I was given to her.
Because she turned herself. 
Because she's home and wonder,
Rest and sprint. 
Because she's.
And she's.
And she's. 

She's pure purple, shoulder-strong.
Her speech up-summons a world.  
Hands like the earth: earth wearing fruits. 
And her eyes are all of the waves. 
Her neck, the great beam from the sun down. 
Her voice, a clean home with a tree by.  

I rest in it and find her,
And find her,
And find her.
I rest in it and find her,
My lovely,
My rest.
