Waiting (iii)

Autumn’s soft moonbeams
tickle my eyes and
splash
across black skin.

 

 

 

beauteous, righteous
Horus-
without one houri.

 

 

 

planets and stars vie, but
my Moon swings
softly through the night sky
with a Queen’s grace,
seeking
me.

listen

silence calls to me
and
a gentle stirring
rolls
in my chest.

 

coy laughter
and a shy smile
harmonize quietly
in my surrender

 

lost in this symphony
of love
are memories
of sweet release.

 

my gorgeous Muse,
I’ve found you again
in my solitude.

blind, deaf and numb

you have no eyes
and you read,
but do you see?

ear drums ruptured
by the chorus of lies:
you listen,
but do not hear
me.

step away dear,
please.
cuz you don’t,
no,
you won’t,
understand.

I care about,
but
have no time
for, your doubts.

shit’s moovin’
free people are groovin’
and I gots work to do.

deuces.

Bric à brac leaves the heart no slack

mementos,
receipts,
and
little shopping bags
remind
of a love
that traveled on.

more poignant than all the words
scratched to each other with love,
a morrisons bag
kicks me in the gut.

the past has passed,
no doubt;
but in constant refrain,
nostalgia digs
with the sweetest pain.

life
is
gorgeous-
The Universe, divine.
To have loved was a gift,
both hers,
and
mine.

Instruction In Artful Deviancy

Slipped,
between
creased corners
of Night’s gossamer,

Moon,
timid & shy,
slips
softly

in –
which hour,
come,

and
gone,

shall magic
come
again?

wicked
wholesome deeds await
lovers,
and children,
and all that fall between.

Come
&
Fly,
my little devil,
Heaven awaits.
