Poet Introduction
Coming together of two great forces: verse & universe
It's Only Natural
if I close my eyes
open all my senses
I can feel you
your breath is the breeze
caressing me
like fingers through my tresses
lifting & twining
feather touching my flesh
I hear your voice
whispering through the leaves
grounding me
in your ancient serenity
as you speak words
meant only for me
I see your spirit in my mind
granite cliffs & rippling streams
solid & fluid combined
compassionate & passionate
gentle & wild
I smell your essence
in pine cones & fir
in...

Unholy Devotion
I stood in our ancient temple
palms pressed to the pillars
feeling the invocations & psalms
swelling in the room
swirling in intricate patterns
lyrically prismatic
~
as our words move in symbolic waves
symbiotic in nature...
akin to pyramid chess there's
so many levels to our enigmatic scripture
thus is the journey of savant and sage
revisiting our holy books
decoding the anthropology us as
liquified revelations induce
total recall one page at a time
~
and I...

The Covenant
he says she's a deviant lacking experience
because she's been so very sheltered
she has little carnal cognizance
only knowing she has a taste for other
vanilla might be fine once in a while
but she knows there has to be more out there
flavors more exciting
if she could only find them
she's timid in approach
needs someone to lead her
she's quite happy to follow
wherever his imagination takes them
always craving his darker vibes
eager for the wilder ride
ravenous for his jaggedness
shadow dancing with his beast ...

I Am
I am a voice and a pen
A spirit with a yen
Your parchment
Your ink
Your sanctified need
I am a thought and a sentiment
Turbulent yet tranquil
Your space saver
Your soul's engraver
Your braille you read in the dark
I am forests and fields
Refuge and shield
Your shelter
Your storm
Your torment transformed
I am volcano and earthquake
Lava and renewal
Your pyre
Your peacemaker
Your cooling element
I am water and air
Precious and rare
Your motion
Your moon ...

[In]decent inscription
dip your quill
into the well of me
that I may be inked
satiated
by your ethereal saturation
sink deeply
so the stain remains
permanently
the mark of your claiming
~~~
take my pulsing namesake
between the spread of your sheets
as i stake my claim one poem at a time
scribe you in my cursive
be it italic classic modern or bold
i want you to decipher the entomology of me
word by word...stroke by stroke
drop by drop
~~~~
hold my parchment
pressing me open ...

Aurora Borealis
swirling my fingers
in the Arora borealis
of our hallowed moments
unsurprised
to feel familiar fire spread anew
fevered blush staining my haunted countenance
I watch
as bursts of pulsar
shooting stars
and the heat of us suffuse
infusing my musing
with decadence
do you remember
how we shared oxygen
brewed intoxicating potions
such heady concoctions
we imbibed like the dying
desperate for peace
release
and healing
defiantly daring the unknown
making it our home ...
