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.

cool summer dreamin’

a sea of fire
flies
around me.


the wonder
of the MOMENT
split
asunder,
between yesterday's faith,
today's grace,
and
the beauty
of a million lost desires.


come dance
with me amongst this ocean
of incandescent dreams.


come, sweet devil,
and let us remember
once more
to be
free.




on the verge

this thick verdancy assails
my other senses,

-although the sweet taste
of summer, hanging indolent
and heavy,
breaths past my quiescent lips.

yet it is the tangible lushness-
of mere color, that
stirs something primordial
and
raw.



i want.


i will.


i am.

misty monday musings

so many dreams
dancing
just beyond.
waiting
to be heard
by your scintillating song.



would you
but slip
through this pause,
alone
with me

you may know
gaiety, and
the deity
burning deep within your sea.



then
perhaps,
Destiny would seem
passing fancy,
and mere curiousity
for the likes of you
and me.

Raptor Rapture

secure


under
Her unwavering protection
and
fading brilliance,

they dance.


snared within Her unblinking stare

they rise,



and tumble

in flagrante,

rousing Dawn
in
these
small hours,
to
reclaim a grandeur
long lost,



but ne'er forgotten.

catch and release

sweet calls
of spring,
carry softly to the sea,
plunging deep
to awaken
tempestuous beauty.


star-burnt mahogany
thirsts still,
for the golden embrace
of celestial flame.




dreams linger
so happy and so free
on a sunlit breeze,
ready to be plucked
gently,
and devoured
rapturously
by you,
and
me.

A Million Droplets, Hanging In The Air

the sweet whisper
of Night's wonder
lingers on
between fog
and field,
and muted heart.
-a kind caress
upon this old fool's soul.


the thrill
of our wildest abandon
lost,
in a swirl of
misplaced memories,
cloud this mist
with the sweet taste
of a destiny foregone,
and fill the
in-between
spaces
with our hidden dreams
and forgotten desire.


Dawn approaches
gently
with her ever tantalizing promise,
and
this longing
remains still.
