Dark smiling woman.

Raindrums echo love's sweet need

to take you there again.

*

"you"

The willow sees you and bows;

songbirds see you and fall mute.

They are awed,

as am i

by you.

i do not speak well,

but the most eloquent word i know is

you.

*

Eyes holding quiet reserve.

But we fell like rain together.

Puddles on the bed!
