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. |
Picture the stage, dark castle, long elegant dresses, the rogue, and the strong lead's voice echoing into the balcony section... |
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. |
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. |
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 |
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. |
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. |
Nature's deep welled bounties drawn from inner-most organs labors of life's most private works. |
Yin adrift dreamt yen-shee eyed her seeded teardrop fell and conjured yang to glitter-dust the void her heart once held. |
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. |
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. |
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 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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
