To Spin Stars

Somewhere on some road on the south-side

I saw her celebrate summer

Silently, she sifted through sensual scenery

Secretly sounding the shapes with her mouth

And sipping slowly from her soft bitten lip

She slipped seamlessly between

Silk-laced vowels

And ruffled rose peppered sheets

Stifled by Sunken sunsets

Startled by the sun-drenched streets

Shock me she said

I saw her say

Quickly, swiftly

Don’t slip past me

I sense your surrender

Succumb sweet boy

For it is I

Your summer joy

Season upon season

And autumn too

You shall have me

For I wish to share my secret life with you

Love struck by a muse

Suffice to say

Is the deadliest of all virtues

The haunting of one’s soul

The echo

The reflection

The bribery of Love

… bubbles up

And springs un-possessed from the Poet’s mouth
