Time

Time,
over-exposes a life
the light glares
the mirrors stares
clear colors blur
Except for Her
Time,
over doses a life

The Chained Maiden

so nigh
to my child's eye
tip-toed I touched
Andromeda's thigh

unchain me child
with wondrous key
all locks accede
to curiosity

1

Stone bound, I was a refugee
immersed in a starlight
that washed through me
spellbound stillness
imagination reeling
heart on its knees
in humble praise
immersed naked
in similitude
sanctified
sprinkled
baptized
a child
a man
I am
you
we

The Plea

Innumerable, stars are
countless joys, so immeasurably far
laughter, shimmering silently
or lamenting twinkling tears?

Mysterious messengers fluoresce
what wonders wrought to bless
by spiraling formulae wordless
its sweeping swirls profess

A murmuring quiescence pulsates
from a travailing curious plea
Grandiloquence, serenely pauses
upon hearing...from Gethsemane

A Wine Quiesced

You…the lipstick
on my glass...
‘O bottomless eyes
drink to me only
breathe me, yes
sip my wine….

why the pause…
what left those
wet dark eyes
why withdraw into
that safe shadowed shell
your riddled worlds
of secrecy… veiled
un-promised
yet ever inviting

a tentative swirl
my wine
lowered

The Cradled Thorn

Drink to me only
with thine eyes
words with wings
October's skies

Tears of passion
like guilty rain
watered her seed
to drown it's stain

Innocence shamed
the virgin cries
hiding in shadows
a veiled disguise

A secret kept
is a bridle-reined
the lie restrained
was a child enchained

What Wondrous Anarchy

In virginal wonder
Rapt in awe
All was God
He breathed, he saw

Imagination!
Wild and reaching
Reasons anarchist
Yearning, beseeching

Insurgent heartbeats!
In Joyful syncopation
Innocence engaged
without hesitation

But:

By wise counsel
Gravity seduces
The alchemist stirs

Kiss Of The Winter Moon

Darkness heals the wounds
that daylight laughter laid open.
Confess your secret dreams
before the audience of the moon.

To the silent night,
to the falling snow,
to the flickering star.

Embraced by shadows,
that feel what you feel,
that are what you are,
that dream what you dream.

The open winter window,
frames her featureless dark face,
betrayed by wisps of frosted breath,
and twinkling tears,
on frozen cheeks.

Raacha

Underneath the shadow
of Raachas' spreading wings.
Let destinies arms enfold me
and teach me higher things.

I can't escape her beauty,
that image in my mind.
Flying at the speed of light,
my senses fall behind.

I hear the siren calling,
her whispered celestial sighs.
As I plunge into her darkness,
all resistance dies.

She lies in secret places,
where light cannot escape.
She pulls me to her bed,
where the sleeping never wake.

Watching Her Sleep

1-The Furrowed Brow

Sleep lies upon her face
of yesterday's worries
there remains a trace

A furrowed brow
surely out of place
disturbs the beauty
of her sleeping face

2-A Nightmare?

Would that one small kiss
fall into sleep's abyss
to save a dream amiss
or of your fears dismiss

3-Coup De Maitre (A stroke of a master)
