I Cannot Name You

your eyes open

bursting light

open windows in the morning

 

and i cannot name you

 

your dark hair

i want to collect in my hands

count each strand

 

but i cannot name you

 

your lips

dark glowing petals of rose

planted on your face by god in a moment of inspiration

making me wish their taste lived in my memory

 

but i cannot name you

 

i have never tasted you

i have never touched you

and

 

i cannot name you

 

my dark woman made of earth

of deserts

and flowers in deserts

 

thirsting deserts and flowers

 

i cannot name you

 

but if i could

 

i would take

your neck of swan

the raspberries of your breasts

the grain of your belly

the darkness of your navel

the ocean of your hips

the desert of your thighs

the pinkness of your flower

into my lips

onto the buds of my tongue

breathe you inside of me

 

and you would live with me forever

 

but i am too afraid

my dearest

my dearest

to name you.

Hi Esteban,

Don't be afraid, Sir! Because you have breathed your dearest already, and she lives with you forever. Great write, the kind of which I could write. Thank you for sharing... (what kind of law do you practice?)

In Spirit,
Bear
