call to arms: a soul’s prayer

the warming spectre
of love devours
the end
of hope.



and,
like drops of nostalgia
glistening across the emerald waves
of my past,
these sun-blessed miracles glisten
and
sparkle
once more.



anticipation
rings
through this hollow chest,
filling it with love-
song,
and
so much
more.

are you ready?

wisps of dreams, and other hard currencies

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.

the baron awakens

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.

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.


Jupiter Descendant

soaring
on the wings of yesterday,
tomorrow sails dangerously close.


and here,
today…..
right very now,
I languor in the eternalness of this fleeting moment,
allowing myself to drown
in the pleasure of not knowing.

free to fall
deep
with nothing
to seek,
with nothing
to want,
with nothing
but me,
and the whirling cosmos within.

ready, to spin.
ready to weave.
ready to cleave to Destiny

But tell me,
are you ready,
for me?
