residency
your love resides here
within my heart forever.
I taste the mountains
purchased from your country lips-
sweet as hummingbird nectar.
my residency
with you is sustained each day,
our mountains now one.
I remember that sweetness
passing between us, humming.

This is beautiful – so rich in images and language!
yes, very beautiful. very serene.
these are great poems michelle
your use of ‘residency” in title and first line of second stanza as a place where you live in love, then you bring the abstract to the physical of the mountain, and the brilliant way you use hummingbird and humming!
