MY FIRST-LIGHT LOVER

And...
I wait for my first-light lover.

He is alive with musical vibrations
& lyrical laughter. He draws me past
the night's cruel maze of darknesses.

His eyes are the color of Cool Gray
His skin is burnished like fine brass.
His voice is harbinger of a new moon.
His smile melts ice-stars; to shed tears.

And...
I wait for my first-light lover.

Waiting...
my feet grow stong like roots & my
legs are hid... Read More

THE WATCHER

Voluminous, gray clouds
part the skies on either side.
It is not clear when deluge begins.

Now, nothing but more of the
ominous, charcoal sky-bison.
 
I feel the quickening in my veins
of remembrance; rain-makers
chanting. No longer is there need.

The wagons- circled & surrounded.
Tumble-weed clouds are rolling over.

I am the watcher.

Nature has cried out against our
blasphemies against her. She has
openly d... Read More

 THE NARCISSIST

Looking into a
mirror of alchemy,
blunt, boorish features are

transmuted into aquiline gods.

Golden crowns
forever grace the heads
of these Roman Emperors &
magnificent Patrician queens.

Mediocre thoughts
become gem-like; brilliantly
blinding sun from its own glory.

Screeching owls
transformed as nightingales.

What fortune
has blessed us with
such stellar luminousity?

O, see me,
hear me,... Read More

NOT ENOUGH

Slurping , sucking
licking, rubbing
of hands together-
flies void of prayer.

Ticking, tocking,
clocking, tooling.

Not enough.

Insatiable appetite
for internet buzz.
Wasps, yellow jackets,
bees- all stand down.

The arachnid has
come to town & taken
over the buzz business.

Not enough.

Faster, faster,
text, text, text.
Spin, spin, spin
tweet, tweet, retweet.

Infamy: wheel of fortune

 TWINFLAME REUNION

I have come out of my shadowland,

for you.

I have stayed upon this barren earth,

for you.

I have cried myself to sleep cold nights,

for you.

I have broken iron chains upon my heart,

for you.

I have denied lingering kindred love,

for you.

I have jumped off of countless clouds,

for you.

I have walked along the ledges of time, 

for you.

I have written... Read More
