    Night Dance

    
    Minds recess
    as night has her way
    summoning grass hidden orchestras
    swaying statuesque forms
    across star laced skies 
    passion dressed
    in fluffy antique rose
    deep-cut
    kaleidoscoping a formal
    black and white lead
    vacant shadows
    night dancing till dawn

    Rain Dance

    
    Tropical rain on deserts
    leave passion flowers
    dripping milky emulsion.

    A Passion Play

    
    Picture the stage, dark castle, long elegant dresses, the rogue,
    and the strong lead's voice echoing into the balcony section...

    Swine! Thy crusty hooves shan’t score debate. Rise elements of fire! Platinum flames be as feathers adorning my body. Sear his limp member no longer to offend me and in my heated presence feel the passion lost to thine own breast for it’s cavity holds no heart only dark murk wherein ignorance resides. Thou art a little man, beset by unknown forces forces of which ye hath no knowledge blind to the power of She She who dawns creation She who commands all existence She who extends, mind-walking galaxies As ye play with thy flute. Silence fool ! Thy mockingbird tongue hath no power! Thy mind be that of a simple fool staggering amid night’s garden falling, full weight, upon my thorns. Thy foul blood sickens this soil backwashing thy venomous flow bordering thine impish body. Open thine eyes! Feel my presence looming as thou slithereth upon my ground. Make hast taking thy leave lest ye fall pray to ~A Passion Play~
    Hope you enjoyed this scene, as much as I enjoyed it's creation. :)

    Eyes of the Past

    
    Feel the eyes of centuries past.
    Rejoice in wind-sung song
    and see the laughter
    still swaying new leaves.
    These things remain
    to light our darkest nights.

    Forget-me-not Meadow

    
    Time bends no knee
    her legs walk quickly
    envisioning spring
    lifted on freshly scented winds
    arms reach out
    to daylight
    as dew glistens on whispering lips
    singing to dawn
    while I dance
    in Forget-me-not Meadow.

    Song of Madness

    
    When night grows still
    I feel your hands
    fingers of the wind
    drawing me near
    as leaves swirl upward
    past my head
    I feel myself falling
    spiraling deep purple
    held mid-air
    griping blackness
    as sealed passageways
    open to time and remebrance
    waving torches
    searing my madness
    and I find myself standing
    tip-toeing rock
    hard
    porous
    to my touch
    as I sway side-to-side
    for a momentary glimpse
    of the cavern
    where time has no bounds
    its walls reverberate
    and I follow your song
    to insanity

    Wet Glass

    
    Shadows form
    then fade to black
    as the moon peeks
    through wet glass
    wax tapers flicker
    starbursting gold 
    on antiquated wallpaper
    never to see daylight.

    Loving Arms

    
    With age our senses tingle
    we reflect on grand
    and simple beauties
    waking our spirits
    holding us close
    till wondrous peace
    folds her arms
    softly around us
    and we become one
    with our pleasures
    and true loves
    forever.

    Poetic Birth

    
    Nature's deep welled bounties drawn
    from inner-most organs
    labors of life's
    most private works.

    Yen-shee Dream

    
    Yin adrift
    dreamt yen-shee eyed
    her seeded teardrop fell
    and conjured yang
    to glitter-dust the void
    her heart once held.

    Bird’s-eye View

    
    Distant trees vanish
    into cold fog
    though I feel no chill.
    I am lifted
    sailing tradewinds
    counter-clockwise
    on wings
    which are not my own.
    I have known their touch
    an inherent memory
    longing to awaken.
    I have felt their subtle peace
    strong and secure
    as they held my heart.
    It is here
    I find comfort
    in life
    after death.

    And Farther Still

    
    We rode the wind
    on waves of varnished plains.
    Orchid clouds raced my eyes
    backwards
    from a fading sun.
    The lion stretched by my side
    as orange turned red, then black
    flickering flames from our fire
    dancing warm remembrances
    toward glimmers of light
    we longed to touch.
    So far was the horizon
    never reached
    and farther still
    the stars.

    A Hunting We Did Go

    
    Papa went a hunting
    across the ocean blue
    invited friends to join him
    said, “Bring your ammo too!”
    One little man, the target
    a target much too small
    so, lacking one good sniper
    we aimed to shoot them all !

    When Earth Sleeps

    
    When earth sleeps
    in REMed subconsiousness
    we perceive celestial forms.
    Stars and space gravitate
    soul-drawn
    solidifying our masses.
    Opalescent beings of oneness
    arms cradling the universe
    seeking
    those whose eyes lay closed
    to the glory of truth
    lost in corrupt sadness
    till dawn
    acknowledges the error
    merging branches of our existence
    to flow as one
    energizing display of light.

    Arid Winds

    
    Luminous silver wings
    span a lover’s Sahara moon
    where succulent desert flowers
    glow in pure white passion
    and our Aquarian star pulsates
    to rythmic blue sighs
    carried on arid winds.

    Stallion Of The Moon Goddess

    
    With strong and graceful beauty
    he crosses
    striking notes of freedom
    mane gallantly streaking
    windswept silver
    as hooves prance a playful ballet
    splashing moonlit droplets
    on the river of  dreams
    and I watch his magnificent display
    in silent admiration.

    Dream Catcher

    
    Eagle wings soar
    adrift on crisp ancestral winds
    chanting past lives’ clarity
    color stroking layers of rugged tradition
    over pottery baked horizons.
    Buckskin voices echo soulful thanks
    to mother earth.

    Hazelnut Coffee

    
    The aroma seeps from its pores
    golden-brown oak
    hugging doorways, windows,
    and planked underfoot
    vanilla whispers
    from ivory candles, glowing
    softly around the room
    as shadows dance
    lighthearted laughter
    against Venetian wallpaper
    I see you through the darkness
    distinguished, animal magnetism
    and my soul stands before you
    naked, as my body
    sits opposite you
    smooth and creamy
    hazelnut coffee
    our only witness
    while we converse
    never making a sound.

    What Would Happen?

    
    If flesh did not exist
    and blood no longer spilled
    if minds no longer plotted,
    would you accept me?
    If you looked inside
    and saw my soul
    could you open your heart
    to the child inside
    extend your smile
    and help me grow?
    Would you love me
    for who I am
    celebrate our diversities
    and realize
    we compliment each other?
    Do you know my name
    spoken in tongues
    of many nations
    inviting my presence?
    Humanity.

    Currents To Nowhere - long version

    
    Fog clung to the sexton’s lens
    and the sun faded pale gray
    Slumped bodies awaiting gruel
    thinned with each passing week
    The air was still as our admiral turned
    descending to his cabin
    As waves hypnotically drummed the hull
    rocking our work-worn crew
    And through the mist came haunting sounds
    ‘Twas the mermaid Lorelei !
    She sang of our lands, far away
    and of loved ones, left behind
    Weakened minds grew numb
    in Lorelei’s trance
    Who we toasted
    with wincing elixir
    And sleep set in
    as lightning flashed
    Summoned
    by Thor’s disgust
    Till the crows’ nest
    now, a rum soaked tomb
    Watched bottles
    roll side to side
    Wind pipes mourning
    once valiant men
    Who’s tattered sails
    lay adrift
    On rollicking currents
    to nowhere.
