For Jeff

Candle flames--lamplight nights,
air-tight sealed hands,
zest of summer--inhaling humid air:
alcohol, waves, and Sarah's smile.

Summer--dead with rotting light,
sun shines, but no rays,
Now, Pale face--porcelain body breaks.

Sapphire eyes--a moment's truth
too real like sunrise's intent
of keeping us together:
and we watched it set.

Heat--always too much,
unlike introspective dandelion winds of March,
clothes were minimum,
my body in your soft hands.

Mornings at the door--
pleasure in sapphire sheets,
our legs entangled--
puzzle pieces--stoic and wet.

Twenty miles to Venice--
picturesque ocean,
fluffing waves to the shore,
and their homeless ostentation.

Talks of joined souls--
the crabs of my mind
moved silently along the rocks--
waves began to over-lap

The moving star--
Clearly it shined,
between my systematic eyes,
and the roar of a thousand oceans.
