And I am hanging
To the hope
That I may see you tonight.

Hanging like some wind
Sweet and warm
Slipping over a wall
To raid gardens of flowers
Blowing,
Fluttering,
Loosening petals from
Roses, tulips, violets,
Lilies, and daffodil
I would lift them in my arms
In such a moving swirl

And bring them to you.
Petals drifting like warm snow
Falling on your face
Your nose and cheek
Falling on your shoulders and breasts
Down on your hips and thighs
Petals penetrating your life
Loving you every touch
Burying you where you lay
Locked in my petal embrace
