thin winds
arouse
the bitter itch
douse the clamour
taste the touch
light fall down your
crooked hall
where smiles wither
drape the pooled sighs
with vellum promise
and feel the satin
heat of lonesome thighs
valley burden
rich and haunted
pooled like ready wheat
the swirl of your hair
at daybreak whisper

Dear Esker,
Your mind is a wonderous and magical place. Thank you for giving us a peek inside! I love the imagery and the flowing lines. Favorites:

fires flicker in cold upper rooms
where sunlight gathers
like a whimper in the corner
moulds black promise
like a pool of night
old letters and photos curl
like crooked teeth
where night has come
to meet a daydream...
