shimmers
of tomorrow flicker in the rearview,
God,
how I loved doing
those things
we would do.
if but we
were young once more,
could we,
would we,
should we
dare,
to walk once again
through that golden door
and taste the future,
in all its sweet finality?

night’s reign
long
after
nightingale's final song,
as wisps
of shadow grasp the softness
at her edges,
these bewitched hours
sift
the words from memories lost
and forgotten,
leaving me
bare,
raw and exposed...
free to feel
once more,
the soft and gentle lips
of nostalgia's first kiss.
Asante Sana (digging on you)
your eyes
brimming with cool
ancient fire,
send sparks
of joy
racing
beneath my skin.
but,
the jolt of your wonder
rocks me
deep.
a future wild,
unpredictable
and free, filled
with mischief
and surprise,
awaits us.
only if
if you felt
the thrill of destiny
the way I do,
you too
would fly.
but,
if you could feel
what I feel,
maybe i wouldn't
share how
happy it feels
to be so sweet on you
(nah, I would).
so i soar, high
on this splendiferous bliss,
reminded of the magic
and the beauty
released
with every silly giggle
that set our souls awiggle,
and
each tender kiss,
shared twixt trembling lips.
and i thank you
for briefly glimpsing infinity
with me.
plagued by bliss
swimming
so
deep in
these waves of
ecstasy,
drowning
in love's blossoming delight,
Truth
comes:
roaring,
tumbling,
and
storming through my chest.
beauty succumbs,
and joy marches on.
hypnotic
is this sweet tranquility
or
tortuous solitude?
either way,
Fortune smiles eternal.
soft and gentle memories
flow
past the edges of your soul,
and you yield,
as if to the silky brush
of a lover's lips.
a taste of the infinite
sharpens desire,
and you hunger
for what could be.
so, sweetness,
slip into these arms
and feel the colors
of our flame,
let us soar
together,
as lovers do.
let us drown our fears
in wonder
and mystery.
rescue
calling out,
in need
of Love's lingering
touch,
Fate
& Hope remain,
lost to the terrible fury
of necessity.
a wild tempest of earthly delight;
leaves the pair drowning
in countless dreams,
forsaken
for the wonders
of the night.
eclipsed
losing
sense of self,
she denies her pale splendor,
and slips
away fearfully
into the night.
a pallid dream
wrought of eerie perfection,
and haunted,
by phantasms of desire, and
longings
of peace.
familiar brew
sliding
back
into simpler times
when hopes
&
cares were
one and the same. and
i
see
u
standing there waiting
so i warn you of the coming storm, and
you smile,
in that way that you do,
reciting fables,
as you tell me to shoo.
my light
shines brighter
in the shadow you cast,
yet still you bask adoringly
in the brilliance of my love
for you.
always
you.
the storm approaches.
and so we dance
as wildflowers do.
under the midnight sky.
we dance:
twin fires
scorched by the wonder of the other,
sinking into
forbidden delights;
true souls lost
to
the bliss
of an existence forgot.
How could we know
the power
we wield?
we are young,
we are eternal,
we are.
string of pearls
a billion translucent wonders
capture the magic of your radiance
yet,
your bountiful love is never contained.
longing for the warmth
of your transcendental gifts,
I sup, drink, and drown in your glory.
inspired by your generosity
i rain fire
upon the willing, and
pour loving devotion
upon those not ready to see.
Such is the way of cosmic alchemy.
they call it human nature
fear rips away
at these wretched bones,
leaving behind the lie
of vulnerability.
this betrayal
of destiny,
this original
failure,
seethes within.
until,
fresh as butterfly's
breath,
Truth washes over me,
and i finally see.
and once again
i know,
what it means to be free.
