Moments: 19.7.17 – 4:22pm: summer showers

Sun smiles bright
Adorns us with heat
Nourishes
Rejuvenates melanin
We lay in long grass
Submerged in its fingers
Listen to nature
Accentuate with candy floss sounds of distant laughter
Cloudless firmament spans over head
Arms of the sky open wide
Welcomes us
Heat prickles our skin
We are parched
Humidity smothers us
We are deep in silent dialogue
Fingertips converse with mahogany skin
Touches on topics of sensitive areas
Causes axons to giggle
I tell you of my dehydration
You smile
Bit your bottom lip
Legs open like the horizon
The sun fans itself
Feather breeze pauses
Catches its breath
Lick lips
Take a sip
Slow
Gentle
Quench my longing
Your waters fall
Back arched
Summer showers
You create a rainbow on my tongue
My tongue dances in your rain
The sky jealous of the beauty we create

wide awake (moonlight)

The sun has long gone to sleep
Moon is wide awake
Hangs high in curtain of black velvet sky
Peaks through our window
Wonders why we are not asleep
Curious
Its unblinking gaze questions us
Our nocturnal behaviour
Candles stand tall
Halo of yellow-orange crown them
They push the darkness up towards the ceiling
Chase them into corners
We are as silent as their flames
