Moonlight Spill
The moon
has been busy
gorging on
summer’s sunshine;
her glutted belly bursts,
softly spilling
strings of silver light;
pools of pale reflection
gather gently
across the worn wood floor

Teething Shadows
shadows teething
prowling like sabers
only prey knows
how sharp it bites into meet
the daytime to the nighttime
then to hang time

August
The August rain
Sudden grey
Swift but rich
Goes the day
Sunset comes
Colors play
In a sky of
Shifting rays
And night deepens
And stars array
And in the heavens
The moon does stray
Sudden grey
Swift but rich
Goes the day
Sunset comes
Colors play
In a sky of
Shifting rays
And night deepens
And stars array
And in the heavens
The moon does stray

Eye of Night
dragon wing floating
on the expanse of night
its head swallowing
eye of mortuitous flight
belly embodiment
waxing the fullness of light
ejecting black fire
cometing celestial might
on the expanse of night
its head swallowing
eye of mortuitous flight
belly embodiment
waxing the fullness of light
ejecting black fire
cometing celestial might

Gloaming
Love,
Let’s lay out in
A field of wildflowers,
In lavender air
And evening glow,
Breathing deep
And kissing slow.

Hope
After the darkest night, daybreak.
After the fiercest storm, calm.
After the toughest battle, peace.
Hope. Espoir. Speranza.
Always. Toujours. Sempre.

Summer’s dance (Titles)
Lost in a moment
Between sunflowers’
Shadow of former glory;
The silent twilight
Winds of autumn
Follow me.

Wings of Night4
listen to the dark
it will tell you
where the empty hearts are
beating before time
as the fallen stars far
crafted by hands
borealis poles scarred
flashed into the night
wings bloodied eyes
filled future to fly
it will tell you
where the empty hearts are
beating before time
as the fallen stars far
crafted by hands
borealis poles scarred
flashed into the night

BODIES BONDING
Bodies bonding,
full responding
to caresses
and hot kisses
placed all over
bods sans cover
of the clothing
now a-lying,
the light of moon
calling the tune.

Vamp-pressing
Phoenician petals
eyes heavy with lustre
painting
Imperial firmament
igniting empyrean
winged Crux
floating firebrands
carving
pneumatic chromatic skies

Corpses on My Fingers
In the dark of the night,
They put up not a fight,
As I pick fruit flies out of my coffee,
I have corpses on my fingers, sorry.
...What a sobering thought.
