wanton truths
dealt from a soul of lies,
the Universe weeps,
a fallen angel cries.
a wickedness,
aimed ever
pure, direct,
and true,
the telltale signs
of murderous virtue.

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?
eternity captured
in a single moment-
or perhaps,
maybe
two,
before the reality
of now
crashes through.
borrowed feelings
slip the skein and
leave lovers
lost,
with no path home,
and so the demons await
with angelic blessings:
lust and fire
and perpetual desire.
expanding inwards:
implosion of tactile delight,
so the madness returns,
embraced warmly, without a fight.
sifting through a catalogue of feeling,
none seem to ring true
which is why when the sky is falling
i long all the more for you.
but the clouds roam high, and shall not tumble
nor will they shatter, and into the void crumble
so walk with me, and let us two see
just how tremendously foolish love can be.
silent
& thunderous.
an inferno
of the serene.
I look
up
in awe, my heart
leaping
across infinity
as your cool flame scalds my soul.
i look into your eyes,
seeking infinty,
finding only love.
you look into my soul
seeking providence-
and so we dance,
naked,
under starlit skies.
two somnambulist hedonists
lost to passion, and
drowned in unquenchable desire.
finally we rise,
forsaken by destiny
and finally free
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.
past and future
swingin’
unhinged.
a jumble of emotions
erupts twixt the new lovers:
anticipation….trepidation,
or
was it already lamentation?
yeah, life is a one way street,
but the doors to love swing both ways.
hopes
and dreams unending
flash brilliantly against a rainbow.
effervescent luminescence
blinds their hearts;
and wicked bliss
numbs their soul.
until the tempest.
and
on winds of doubt,
storm and shadow break unto night.
but
love hovers safely,
tethered,
like a kite.
such
is the way of dreamers.
such
is the way
of love.
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.
