I am precariously balanced
between two lovers
perilously stuck
in a smoldering state
of fertile flux

When I am supine under a blanket
of dynamic darkness
one brings bountiful bitterness
hand-carved from night's stone
amidst our dance of deprivation
I am sure it is he
I covet most

When I am vertical under a dawn
of lusty lightness
one brings benedictions of being
hand-picked from morning's flush
amid our carnal covenant
I am sure it is him
I crave more

Neither benefactor is wise
to the other's tugging tide

It is indeed a difficult plight
but you see for me it is right
because without
my day lover
my night other
I woud perish alone
unbalanced
Velvet whispers
Inaudible murmuring
Stifled secrets

Indigo shadows veil desperation
Obscuring desire

In a lucid azure dream
I found you

Under a sapphire sky.

Oh if I were the velvet rose
Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
And make his casement fine.

And if I were the little bird
That twitters on the tree,
All day I'd si
