tip-toeing orange sunrise mixing itself
into my morning moonshine, which i've drank
every morning since the day the moon smiled loudly
and deafened my sight with its frozen yawn.
taste these fumes, painting the blank canvas
of my mind as mother nature dances
seductively, human nature boiling
my blood on a cold night, and though i've known her
for many years, my passion burns the same.
i unbuttoned the stars in the sky
as if it were her navy-blue blouse,
revealing her sun-kissed skin beneath.

i literally caught myself with my mouth gaping open.
whew ok - this piece is so original and beautiful - i'm stunned by the word choices - it's so lovely!
"tip-toeing orange sunrise"
"the moon smiled loudly and deafened my sight with its frozen yawn"
"i unbuttoned the stars in the sky"
...ahem. ok now that i'm done gawking.
this is probably going to be just positive because i cannot see anything i can suggest to change at all! but here's the rundown anyway.
stanza 1
this is lovely - i really am drawn in by the image of the early morning being mixed with the remains of night ...and you drinking it is just so original and beautiful!
stanza 2
the transition from the nature image to the woman is stunning here and really makes it turn from a beautiful image to a passion - it internalizes it, and i love that!
stanza 3
this is where it becomes sort of a love affair - and i love the idea that you are in love with the beauty of a sunrise or mother nature. it's a beautiful and sexy image - so original for a nature poem! to be sexy!
stunning! stupendous!
