(ONCE BITTEN MY)

one moment
to next a vintage
of you
warms blood and mind

wine
with sparks that dance
in time
to my heartbeat

december roses
miracle through your eyes
though never
winter here i had

no question
of intent to give you
warmth
blooming in snow

#micropoetry

you wept shards
that shattered all around us
i held you

close through pain and blood
would not get go
even unto death

#micropoetry

jagged edges of life
show over
and over no escape
no wire fence

under which to crawl to you
though its barbs
bite
draw blood

#micropoetry

we have cried
oceans over
lives too many

waves over
wounds
as we wash ashore

let us hold
each other rest
together

#micropoetry

less than a glance
pulled us
a look in words touch
of syllables

voice
not of mouth but heart alone
a whisper
from hope to love
