Twilight Lip Balm

Girl

I’m chilly, cold

Breezy

That’s not bad

I love the cold

But today I was sitting in heat

And felt cold

And I thought of your lemon balm

And it gave me hope

***

You are my muse

You didn’t want it out in the open,

Or your name on my words

Lemons always grow upward, to melt with the sun

Our words live together in those places, in looming,

weaving grass, and

At the mid points of a snow dredged mountain and a view that grounds your heart and your soul.

But they do not live in the clouds, not in view.

***

You love another,

We both love another,

I felt it was true,

That even though we love others,

We carry a love

That is more than words

Like the Edgar Allan Poe

Poem I love, it reminded me of you

Annabelle Lee, betwixt

Our passion like a Boulder.

****

I still feel it,

No matter where or who

Or what happens

Lemon balm is on my paper

On my character’s minds

In my poetry

A single piece of you

In this immortal

Twilight Lip Balm

***

Baby,

I’m

Chilly

That’s okay,

I like the cold,

I just wanted everyone to know

Lemon balm was the reason why.
