 Poem: dernier cri (with JohnFeddeler)

poem of intrusive tongues  
art of a kiss  
in the space of a moment  
 
secrets in shadows keep  
verses in languid pages press  
aglide love’s lonely carousel  
 
gifted of a teardrop  
tomorrow sleeps among lost stars  
nightsong weeps below the sun  
 
grace of loving machines  
beyond the borders of original sin  
was a woman ever beautiful  
 
haunting melodies overbrim  
endless searching not at rest  
abstract eyes of livid tempest allures  
 
we came as strangers  
danced to an indiscreet end  
on the terrace of a vague song  
 
I won’t say it I won’t  
ordain my wanton heart so shorn  
incarcerate a moonbeam’s hold  
 
orphan or gypsy or nomad  
wander a parchment desert  
preamble to an oasis  
 
passion chooses those it keeps  
a lover speaks through brooding eyes  
hearts outlast the thief of time  
 
love must prisoners make  
in Paris or anywhere  
a melancholy echo  –  last cry
