Simple Poetry: Deep Wood Shade

deep wood shade shadows my skin when you touch me

this glow from within

your sun pumps radiant fluids

into my parched earthiness

as always, my rivulets seek

your bigger waters

the pounding oceans

fragile seas

dappled fragrance seeps

just beneath

the scent of us

and undulates

--I undulate

snakelike

loathe to shed you from me

stay, and dig into the sands with me,

my love

if you go

I will be an empty house

damaged by your hurricane

bereft

blown

forgotten

sand the color of patina

shadowed in deep wood,

untouched
