Translucent Gold

      i know a man who carries blue fire
             i love a man
          who snares the sun
             on his coffee
                break
       i like a man who brings me
              the truth
           mined from the depths
              of the earth
             cut & polished
               gleaming
               multi-faceted, yes
     i whisper revelations in his ear on my
             lunch break
     i slip him jokes over Lucky Charms and grape juice
     i wake him up by jumping on the bed
   and he kisses my sky blue toenails
   and tells me stories that make me giggle
            i know a man
              so pure
              he's translucent
           i walk his road and
              the soles of
                my feet
             they never ache
