this is how i see you

this is how I see you.
leg to hip, tongue to lips
woven in a perfect coil

this is how I see you.
spark in air to ignite
smoke rising in tiny ringlets
making dusk blue-black
smoldering words, white hot and wonderful

this is how I see you.
sometimes see through you
tough, too rough and you make me change
triggered by doubt that
crept by, kept by
seemingly unimaginable movement

this is how I see you.
a ship
christened, coated in a sheath of gold gleaming sheen
wind at the bow
black water breaking at the base
swirling song and unsafe
