in the garden ~
surrender me to midnight's seclusion
in a garden of summer blossoms
trace fragrant lilies, so white
upon my shy, naked breasts,
your words sweetly caress
(slowly imprisoning me.)
seducing my shameless Venus
softly burning...
through my pink innocence
inflamed by fiery melodies
your trembling lips...
teasing my Mars into this
submissive dance
all the while...
heartbeats fall…
into a rhythmic ecstasy
in a garden of summer blossoms
trace fragrant lilies, so white
upon my shy, naked breasts,
your words sweetly caress
(slowly imprisoning me.)
seducing my shameless Venus
softly burning...
through my pink innocence
inflamed by fiery melodies
your trembling lips...
teasing my Mars into this
submissive dance
all the while...
heartbeats fall…
into a rhythmic ecstasy

ix of swords: reversed ~
in a circle of sorrow…
we stand alone,
unable to hold each other’s hands:
…we stand like seven frozen stones:
the shattered one
the careless one
the lost one
the apathetic one
the dead one
the sick one
the fractured one.
jupiter and neptune’s ominous
conjunction, and, in ashen valleys, burnt nightingales
cry, ~
“what could have been?”
-- evermore our reminders of what should have been…

dormiveglia ~
A walk I took among rambling ivy and heathers,
to catch a glimpse of the swollen moon.
I witnessed her giving birth to phantoms, shadows sisters;
daring to tell her my loneliness, heart never knowing love,
body absent of experiencing any cardinal ecstasy.
My one love took another, with a sardonic expression upon
an otherwise innocent face, in front of me.
For it seemed to be the season of ice for me;
Heart caught in a maelstrom of icy crystals,
inevitably, entered paralyzing sorrow.
No, No! ...
to catch a glimpse of the swollen moon.

For it seemed to be the season of ice for me;
Heart caught in a maelstrom of icy crystals,
inevitably, entered paralyzing sorrow.
No, No! ...

hearts forever 180 degrees opposed
eight years of quietude disappeared,
when your glaring msg. appeared
murmurs of our past,
a reminder I conjured you in my dream…
always…
those dreams weren’t supposed to ever
come true tho’…again and again.
“no, go, okay?!” it read…

permanently…
locked inside desolate,...

let me go ~
i always belonged in my own pack,
a shadow of solitary --
::: still solivagant :::
the light of truth, my alpha…
guided my conscience;
down pathways of endless forests.
from within:
these continuous lines,
rhythmically finds, and traces electrical molecules;
begins to spin webs from heart to mind…
mind to heart, and back again…
not from without…
((you never understood…
you never wanted to))
darkness’s symphony, relieves me from ...

love’s lament ~
o’ lay me down in a forest glen
ivy and foxgloves will be our bed
kiss me slowly, with languid teasing
of your tongue --
draw your calligraphy with feathered
quills, filled with vermilion drops of ink
tickle your rhymes upon my naked, sunlit hips
the sky larks will sing our melody
of our morning's escapes
oh let me forever, be your fair maiden
weave daises in my hair
let your mouth drift further down
towards my moon-shaped stomach
part my legs, sunbeam shades playing upon...

mercury square neptune
submerged, in a sea of sorrow
mercurial phantoms, and I play…
(my temporary sentinels of solace)...
guard me from Stygian demons,
of decaying breath, speaks in tongues;
[of its] desire to tear and swallow soul, whole.
distress rolls in, out like obsidian waves;
finding my anguished heart as its shore…
(hide and seek with my mind.)
kaleidoscope glimpses of...

lacuna ~
my tales are yet unknown,
all will unfold...
when it’s time for shadowy, velvet wings to arrive,
carry me away in stormy winds;
where dusky forests meets the anxious sea.
along broken pathways,
amongst swaying yew trees with amethyst leaves...
seven silver orchids dance in the snow.
down...
down...
down...
below…
ancient steps, are where ophelias, ...
