Snow Diamonds Again!

Two drafts later and I'm even more pleased! So here's draft 5 which I think is approaching the final draft.

Snow Diamonds

Soft the supple skin of snow lies,
Paler still against the desert sands
That lay in wandering dunes upon his head.

The soulful depths of whitened chalk mines,
Collecting rain in mottled pools of sky blue
And storm grey; interrupted by his fleeting blink.

Brushed upon mine with delicate care
Gliding swaths of velvet lips coated with
Caramel liquor, that sticky, sweet, tang.

Drifting waves against the shore tumble
To a smile, fringed in splintered foam;
Glinted in sunlight waning as purest white.

Beneath my lingering touch a meadow,
Baked in summers heat, tranquil and still
Glides his smooth body, interrupted only in

Sheer stone crags about his collar and
Gentle tumble of his shoelace arms as he
Quivers against me in expectant ecstasy.

Inflamed within by the binding grip,
Poison ivy fingers entwined with mine.
The toxic pull draws me closer,

Instinct and passion, new found desire.
Yet his gentle touch, a pleasant tingle
That sharp thrill, that static shock.

So close combined, two as one.
Salesman of his heart, does knock upon
The door of mine, with persistence grown anew.

The fresh bloomed, soft sapling birch
Yields its tender form, to bend, to shift
Against my force; tipping us in union bound.

He and I, reflecting each to be as one
The same, in this joy forever lost
From this world. Yet in decay,

Falling away, as rusted iron.
His form is loosed from mine,
And as he said he had to leave,
His tears were diamonds in the snow.
