evening dance

the Night a graceful dancer;
the sky her crystal ballroom.
the Day she dips,
down to the horizon,
and the sunset is their tango

her fingers reach to cool the ground
but not the heart of a summer reveler

you make me forget my name

you disarm me...
unhinge me,
the "oneness"
infringing

you make me forget my name

your nearness
is warm breath,
gentleness,
open eyes,
a soft kiss.

you make me forget my name

the window holds your silhouette
enframed by the sun's last rays
my heart does a leap, then a pirouette
and then becomes ablaze.

you make me forget my name
