Melisma for Lynwoodt
in the midnight ballroom of blessing
with resonant harp strings,
you have stroked my soul
to symphony.
beneath starry chandeliers,
my heart rings
hallelujah arias
drunken from the mint
julep breath we share.
arms poised
yet empty,
i pirouette, sweat
this soulful minuet.
gently i waltz
with our delicacy
and flirt in-
finite possibilities…
