“So, what did he say?Brother! What did he say?”No answer; only an empty stare fromtransfixed eyes, through a sealedwindow, streaked by desperate fingersin fog of wet hot breath.Your head lists like a sinking ship.I feel titillating waves of risingwater, its cold hands slowly crawlingever higher on my back, whilebodies desperate, splash around us.Vehicles eerily floatContinue reading “Broken Bridge”

The Ballerina Black eyes stared from the darkness,Slowly, almost imperceptibly,She emerged as her shaking handsstretched toward me, an invitationto meet halfway. A strange calm cameupon us as our fingertips touched.Smiling broadly, her throat was deepand dark like her black eyes.A ballerina’s red tulle of nainsookfloated at her hips. A single shake,A slight rustle invited meContinue reading “Night of Visages”

Bring your face a little closer,Let me whisper in your ear,Feel the soft rain falling,Trace your finger through my tear. Because my love is still growing,My dream laughs loudly at me,Your smell, intoxicating,My joy, love’s guarantee. Hurricanes blow meekly away,Phantoms bow down on sight,Of us like children playing,Let’s celebrate love tonight. For soon our shadowsContinue reading “Imaginary Woman”

I dream a dream of night’s moonbeams,Casting light on the dark forever,The sense of you then fades from view,Your soft embrace endeavored. You and me, never meant to be,By chance we were together,Where can I go, where time will slow,In hills of purple heather. Everywhere I stop and stare,To choose to be your muse,Ashes ofContinue reading “Ashes and Embers”

So close, her lips of coffee and cream,Her pungent smell of abundant lifestir earth and sweat; above us,white doves fan flames asgentle waves of silky haircaress my face like Aphrodite’shands of warm whispers.My eyes, too soon open,release her embrace.Night’s rain patter washesher away in a dawn ofmorning shadow, every tracesoon cut away by fresh knivesofContinue reading “Yesterday’s Night”

The windsock stands stiff in the wind,Agitated from sleep by the gale’s harsh breath,The salt infused tarp jerks in resistanceand holds mightily against its resolve.Above, the one eye in the dark skyilluminates the thick, rolling cloudsblinking quick strips of light through its blackness.I glimpse the windsockonly to lose it again in the bobbing of myContinue reading “Dream Tatters”

Sharp angles close inon quiet harbor.Lanterns swayin night grown darker. You stand alonewith hand outstretched,Your fingers beckon,My love to catch, My dream unfoldsin pistil power,The smell of youfrom mourning flower. I reach for youon empty sheets,My heart lays cold,Your lack complete. The sunshine shoutsfor me to rise,But rolling thunderstorms my eyes. To sleep the dream,ToContinue reading “Fingertips”

Soaring high in the sky,Flying fast, flying fearlessly,Your iridescent feathers,Gliding gracefully. Ride the winds, my son,A free bird witheyes of eternal light,Circling; circling over me. Caw across the valleyWhistle into my dream,Nestle your nest of the firmamentand pray watch over me.

How still the sticks on drum kit lie,Like spoons in a frozen cup,Until the drum beats need be played,Then a flash as drums erupt. Flashes shoot high in the sky,As from a lightning flame,They scatter the stars asunder,A corpus of music proclaim. In the end the sticks lie still,Quiet like a mountain stream,Without your handsContinue reading “Dream Sticks”

The house is painted blackout,Spirits wandering, room to room,My lamp of light is speechless,As horror holds fast the gloom. A crashing sound like mirror glassquickdraws my breath away,Gives chilling sight, defines my plight,Like love fell shattered lay. Anguish lunges past the door,With dubious intent foreseen,Starts a stutter crawl, then bloody jumpIn a screaming dash atContinue reading “Dream III”
