somewhere amoung the willows and barks
Lie a stream of consciousness,
blossoming.
To wild to ride
A chance for us to see
Just what we hide inside
**
Perhaps it’s the smell of you
Or the heat from your skin
Making me want to kiss the sin
Lamenting the way we walked away
Everything all at once
tranquil and true
Is but a cloud of soot and dust
**
Petrichor is my favorite smell
Reminds me of you
When the rain washes me away
I have nothing else to say
Should I lust in solitude
Without you here
To brighten my mood
My clinomania begs me to sleep
And wake to you
my dreams
Are everything
But I’m nothing without you

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.

This is sensual in more ways than one, and a superb use of language. Petrichor and clinomania… 🥰
Clinomaniac here, lol! But seriously I'd rather live in my dreams than face reality. Loved your poem!
Jazzy, this is brilliant & beautiful!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
