Liquid Serenade (original poetry)

inspired by and written for Melissa


Liquid Serenade

Listen at your window pane, the music in my summer pitter-patter
See the meaning in my syncopated melodies
Feel the gaze of my gifted pendulum kiss
And let my reign fall upon you...

Now take from me, all seen through the kaleidoscope
Let the midnight waters serve me after your presence, and
Inundate my senses with your four seasons
Let your rain fall upon me, and...

I will succumb to the place of your peaceful Jordan
When I stand within whispers of your welcoming shore
And my eye you stare to the heart of me
and subdue within me the tempest; consummate my soul and let...

the rain fall upon us, until...

The quiet storm indulges a ravenous earth
And I trace the cryptic walls of your desires deep
into the cavernous places of you unexplored, tell me your secrets, until...
None are left to tell, and let...

my rain fall upon you...

And I shall tirelessly seek the place of prestigious consent
That I would knowledge in a metacarpus
and cultivate in the land of milk and honey; and heroes will be made
when I divert from you Boreas' intent...

so let my rain fall upon you...

And though my candor spills from meager lips
See me Paris and...
The sustenance I pour from the nectar you sip....

...and let my rain fall upon you
