Quiet Time
I see You, God in this morning-cerulean sky; I feel You in the sun illuminating this frozen landscape. I speak; You talk and I hear You in a breeze that scatters from high limbs tufts of snow – little white angels fluttering and dancing on currents. In this season of withdrawal, purity is born of [...]
There
There’s always been that unnamable but familiar something within you that I knew was mine. It stirs interstitially within my being, whirling and pulsating between my tissues, radiating outward – magnetically searching to connect with that part of itself residing in you. It seeks completeness – potentiality fulfilled – and when you’re too far away [...]
IntraBeing
A thousand lives later, here we are again separated by the blue veil between dimensions touching only on the translucent side of dreams. Through the ages, I have whirled with dervish mystics; I have drunk the blood of Christ; I have even pillaged with pirates, but no passion has filled me like you. [...]
Intentional Silhouette
When the horizon beckons the sun and a pink sky holds the Ash in silhouette; when still waters reflect Woodcock upon the wing and the Heron’s great blue matches colors rising, there is a “click” – inaudible – a latch unlocked by precise combination of timed events turned carefully by Source. Gentle winds blow from [...]
The Divine Need
If only from out of the aching of this visceral inflammation I might be reborn on the shores of your lips – cast like a spell in whispered ponderings of awakening, and be worn upon your sleeve before partaking of skin ripe for the taking and delving deeply under it, and be the [...]
A Soothsayer's Rune
A bard misplaced in time Paints portraits in moist soil And buries dreams in cloth As sky glows evening blue And black crows caw from wing. Night veils its secret thoughts In mist within the grove Unto which she is drawn To enter a portal To the forgotten side. Warm breezes brush her [...]
At the End of Williamson Road
“The summer wind, came blowin’ in from across the sea; It lingered there, so warm and fair – to walk with me…” ~ Frank Sinatra We’ll find you there Entranced by Sirens’ song Standing at your Open window In gull-blue house At end of Williamson Road; I’ll be wearing a tiara Made of Hydrangea vine [...]
Conceived
Thoughts and images In mutual attraction Move closer to One another; Electricity flares As they seek Deep embrace; Energy writhes While nape of An “S“‘s neck Is cooled by the Breath of an “h” – “Shhhh”…. Can you hear the Beads of apostrophes Drip on white sheets? Can you feel the Pure bliss As climactic [...]
Liquid Persuasion
“Out beyond ideas of Wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I’ll meet you there.” ~Rumi Liquid Persuasion Beyond the gate Of right and wrong There is an arboretum Where you will Drape me in Finest silks From Turkestan And seduce me With your full-bodied, Burgundy words And Sauvignon ideas Imported through The ages with [...]
SpeakEasy
An old drunken poetaster trips over words Leaving dazed patrons wondering what they just heard; Meretriciously staggering on booted legs, He makes way to built-in taps on cold barrel kegs In dark place he has carefully hidden from view To conceal his surreptitious, sweet-burning brew Born slowly of purifying distillation, And at times of agitating [...]
