slipping back
into the comfort of night,
i delight in mysterious wanderings, and
the unanticipated invitations
of love, and
fear,
and all the fury in between.
only to slip back
into a clarity unwanted.
I dare you
to walk with me,
down this path
and
through these wicked gates,
into infinity
and beyond,
where
day meets night
to simmer soothingly
over hearth
and bone.
take a sip
of this future
seasoned with ash
and happenstance,
and,
just a dash of wonder.
reaching out
to you
through wisps of
serendipity
and old dreams,
scented
with heartbeats pounding in wonder
of this colorful harmony.
remembering that moment, yet to be,
when our souls,
burned so bright in ecstasy.
tangled up
and
cleaving
unto that moment,
you
&
me,
twin suns
forged in destiny
huddled,
for lack.
and closed up tight,
thus blinded
to the sweet harmony of
THE MOMENT,
Fear conquers
the magic within,
turning your gold
to lead.
a tamed heart may never
wield the flame
of desire.
sheltered eyes
shall never touch the depths
of this soul.
and as I soar
with ashen wings of gold,
upon the silver winds of time,
i celebrate a beauty of a life untold.
explosive
bits of
soul fire
rip
through the world,
carving up your
reality with
grace
& style, &
love.
rampant and
devouring,
impatient with
lust
and longing,
are you
ready to ravish
this world without mercy?
cuz,
I am.
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.
ensorcelled
by Dawn’s sweet calm;
enraptured
by Dusk’s fiercely muted roar,
i find myself here alone,
with you
never to be found.
the very air sizzles
in between the errant
glide of silken miracles,
and the halting flow of
anticipation and
wonder.
a billion
tiny stars
exploding
all ’round
in a cacophony unexpected:
lights and smells dancing wild
and chaotic,
soothed only by a soul’s touch.
stimulated to the edge of ecstasy,
the beauty overwhelms,
but, my love,
please,
drink it all,
deeply and sinfully,
drink it all, and
seek nothing other
than that original bliss.
a realm of knowing,
infused with love
and the infinite of
possibility.
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.
burn through daylight shimmer
to soothe Night's beguiling sorrow,
lacing
dreams
with sacred perversions:
life interrupted-
oh
yeah.
solemn blasphemies
twistin' in the air
gently caressing
smoothened hackles.
should I but choose
to
shatter
your shackles,
such slippery wordplay
could be spiritual foreplay.
a stimulating beginning
to what wonders await;
a tender body
with soul afire.
glancing deep,
into the nothing,
where
butterflies dream
of winter snows,
and
panthers roam
on silken roads,
i see
every single little thing…
i see
absolutely nothing at all.
In this perfect
unending
captured moment,
i am free of love
& fear
and the happy circumstance
that lies in between.
in short, my friend,
I am
here.
so,
when silver laced words crash
and tumble
across your chest,
awakening the golden dragons
within.
will you?
can you?
ignore the call?
Nothing needs
you,
and ditto you,
withall.
i hear you,
up there,
alone,
& magnificent.
are you happy,
up there,
never able to receive,
naught but a prayer
breathed lustfully,
through these adoring lips?
I hear you
calling
to me.
do you need me
as I once needed you?
I hear you
calling.
don’t worry,
I am here
and yes,
I need you too.
