what i got for new years....

jenni how

a poem

by aaron wells

jenni style

mustard lays on a barken blanket

against auburn skies. a corduroy sheet,

you adorn a fleecy bed

amid a cloven sea.

pretty jenni

honey drips golden down stolid shoulders:

brassy rings surrounding elven

face and arab eyes; a phoenix

ignites a smelted heart to its boldest kelvin.

ambitious jenni

yours is a hawk's passion

to soar; to dive;

to seek the goal 

and capture prey alive.

jenni mind

yet, soaring heights and swooping bows

do not impede your view.

you check your wings, your course and scape;

thoughts are more than true

jenni move

you are strength.

jenni shoes and jenni legs

pad a sunny pavement

and dash beyond the sloven dregs.

jenni listen

i heard you listen silently beneath a sullen

moon. time was a distance between starts, between grass roots,

whose spiny limbs etched their memories into a clay cochlea--

their noiseless din bellowed you as flutes.

jenni goodness

you saw the first light of a new, white star.

upon its appearance

you followed on dusty toes,

all tributaries muddled in your trance.

jenni kindness

time is a woven, calico blanket; it is your gift;

you unroll it across a pallet,

upon which appears a help unmatched;

their gratitude is a heavy, falling mallet.

jenni affection

honey drips golden

across a thirsty tongue.

you wrap me in arms

of billowy down; i am young.

jenni mystery

mostly, you are a dream

whose particulars i cannot place

when waking. when waking comes

i gaze in awe at trails i cannot trace.

............i pretty much have the most adorable, amazing boyfriend ever. it is a happy new year indeed!
