Gaze
<---------------------------------------------------------->

 
Amidst the universe
I see one star
   not the brightest
   not the biggest
   not part of any picture
      an outsider from the scene
Nearly lost behind the myths
I hear one star
   deep
   soft
   distant
      a recently familiar voice
Cloudly or clear
I feel it from afar
   warmth in the love song's final note
   peace in a meditating sky
   inspiring as a comet's trail
      the presence fleeting
         but the memory lasting

Midnight Pixylight
<---------------------------------------------------------->

 
a coffee cup half-filled
   half-emptied?
with addiction
   would you like some caffeine with that cream & sugar?
cooling while smoke and ash
   Five-fifty please
escape with shadows and cares

scolding shadows of catholic plaid about her waist
faint scars hidden among the folds of aquarian wings
glittering stones decorate the soft glow of a tender heart
a mere whisper can softly overwhelm

mental whims are spilled
   just a bowl of soup please
with a diction
   extra napkins, hold the drama
sharing lives under our breath
   plop, plop, fizz, fizz
and over the muttering of hungry patrons

eyes that seduce with an endless enigma
an embrace that can hold the world
   and make it disappear, leaving nothing
      but a sense of essence
usually unusual
   normally abnormal
      lovingly off-beat
