I taste syllables in my sleep
and make toasts to words,
stumbling in adjectives of love
blossoming like daffodils
in the middle of Spring.
drunk on alliteration,
this word-hungry poet
clinging to every line
like its the first,
or last time he speaks.
Time whispers and limbs tremble
like Winter, then bloom again
with glimmer of stars
rich as diamonds in lovers’ eyes.
Light pulls branches in
and grows dreams
in good soil,
roots
keeping spirits
intertwined.
Oh, the rhythm,
the assonance
when his and mine
become ours.
