Description I awake and look around.
The night is beautiful here.
The moon revives the summer ground;
the stars pity my young tears.

I take a breath.
You can't stop my tears, anyway.
So hold me closer, now,
and I will stay with you another day.

You wrap your arms around my waist
and pull me from the harsh light.
I slip in bed, feel your embrace,
and I weep though the warm night.

Just let me cry.
I feel your hot and tired sores.
I don't want you to let go...
but don't try to stop my dreams, anymore.

I find my comments are getting repeditive, because you're work is just pretty damn good in general, so I'll try a different approach. I believe, most of what I know about you is what I know through your poetry (online chats helped but we had too much fun with that!). I think one of the most valuable senses is touch, and you explore that alot, and like any person, you comprehend the importance of feeling, and how no word or gesture can parallel the touch of skin to skin. But, you express touch as a means of amplifying emotion, not subduing it, which makes sense. Revel in the powerful and cleansing sadness. The overwhelming sense of both strenght and weakness you get just sitting there, in someone elses arms, seem to give the strenght to weep, to let loose the torent of emotion, and I think you show that sensation here. So... after all my needlessly complicated and ultimately futile analysis, all I can say is good job and I feel where you're coming from.

Good piece The line about the "hot and tired sores" really caught me.
