diamonds bloom along her spine
unearthed by the gentle auger of his touch

I can teach you how to be happy
she promised, through glistening tears

I’ve got you, he whispered in return
and held her tighter
as they fell

I’ve got you, he whispered in return
and held her tight as she fell
further into him

fingertip pulses
crystals and air fuse
micro-atmospheric symbioses
heat and space subduction

souls permeate and radiate
inspire a nebular expansion
on the scale of the minute
deeper than the heaviest singular
fold of space

I can teach you how to be happy
she promised, through glistening tears

Diamonds Along My Spine*
(1)

There is a world
a solar satellite
where love is as common as rain
where warmth and bliss are cultivated
upon carbon lattices
seeded from the silken friction
of skin on skin

petals on air dry
mother nature does the wash
mislays one red sock

#haiku #poetry #enlightenment #awareness

my heart, decrepit
scarred and torn; tattered and worn
it’s a shabby chic
