somehow
tonight, i know you can hear me.
i feel
you watching,
lovingly, over me.
tonight,
i give myself over
to your whim.
tonight,
i am yours,
absolutely
and,
this night shall never end.

LP No. 33_2021_karibu
longing
for the sweet smell of home.
the smell of history,
whispered through the air.
that familiar smell,
of power
rising,
…….from the very earth.
home, where i bathed in starlight,
letting rivulets of wisdom
roll down my soul:
tears of the ancestors
who mourn what was yet to be.
tears of the ancestors
who mourn what would never be.
so i sing,
that they know,
what has come to be,
i sing
that they know our new story.
and i sing,
that they dry their tears.
and i sing
that they might welcome me home.
LP No. 28_2021_whispering fury
no longer welcome,
no longer afraid,
no longer the child
who sang sadly in the rain.
a wild wind blows,
whispering peace
and destruction.
a wild wind blows
calling your name.
what destiny awaits
the steadfast and true?
what reckoning follows
where the wild wind goes?
LP No. 24_2021_star fire
silent
& thunderous.
an inferno
of the serene.
I look
up
in awe, my heart
leaping
across infinity
as your cool flame scalds my soul.
LP No. 22_2021_twice scorched
racing,
gracefully, across the burning dawn,
her sliver of wonder catches my eye,
setting a flame to the magic inside.
…and she moves on.
triumphant, vainglorious….untested,
and blessed
with a golden touch of destiny,
a new day rises.
filled with promise
and hopes undeclared.
and so, a great joy grows in my chest,
yet i long
for my lady of the night.
i yearn for her mystery, and thirst
for her wisdom.
so i wait
for darkess to fall,
so we are free to fly,
together again.
LP No. 19_2021_tantalizing
swingin’
through the sunlight,
dancin’
on a tight cool breeze,
hints
of summer sweetness
wisp through the air.
nectar teased
from precocious magnolia
sate
intinerant butterflies
but,
winter’s chill swiftly returns
clawing back the night.
dawn’s honeydewed leaves;
dusk’s cicada screams,
all but a fancy perhaps,
to be mislaid,
like childhood dreams.
time for another cup
of piping hot tea.
LP No. 18_2021_sunset reflections
Look!
a silhouette of the wonderous setting sky!
glowing remnants of such flaming majesty!
Astounding!
Magnificent!
Luminous!
mere reflections of Beauty,
and all i may behold.
memories
of past brilliance, frozen
in detail spectacular,
fill the tomes
stacked in this
cavernous soul,
but
there is no light to see:
the torch
having been extinguished
by me.
so i dream in shadow,
and play in between
what was
and never could be.
LP No. 17_2021_invitation
bat’s wings sprinkled with starlight
gently brush reality from this soul.
and i slip,
softly
into night’s ample bosom.
And so,
come my lover,
let us frolic and play,
weaving tales of what never can be.
come my muse
and share my embrace,
exploring the deepness without.
come, my fate
let us walk
together,
let us ramble
on until the end.
i gather magic, for i am a magician.
so come,
and lay with me for a spell,
come, and
let me drink from your well.
LP No. 16_2021_night blues
midnight rains tumble
unexpected,
crushing the darkness
into mud.
and,
weaving through the deluge,
moving without care
her sweet surrender is as magic
lifting through the air.
dancing on shadow tips,
beckoning soul and loin
she is irresistible,
and you submit all.
rooster calls,
summoning Dawn’s stern gaze,
but Night lingers,
like a first kiss.
LP No. 14_2021_ssshhhh
forbidden laughter
tickles
silenced lips.
young hearts play
deep
in the darkness,
free
from fear’s illusion;
free
from love’s shackles;
free
to explore life’s mystery.
twinned souls seeking
forever,
lost
in a silver moonlit kiss.
