In Days & Nights of Waning Gibbous Skies
( a seafarer’s lament )
In days & nights of waning gibbous skies,
The moon, a yellow pale slip of a girl,
That I would see o’er yonder on the rise
From water fresh, to salty ocean pearl.
It was in times of yore when in my youth
In days & nights of waning gibbous skies,
I’d yield the way with yardage as my truth,
For I felt neither foolishness nor wise.
There could not be another for these eyes,
To beckon me to purple northern lights.
In days & nights of waning gibbous skies,
Was...
In days & nights of waning gibbous skies,
The moon, a yellow pale slip of a girl,
That I would see o’er yonder on the rise
From water fresh, to salty ocean pearl.
It was in times of yore when in my youth
In days & nights of waning gibbous skies,
I’d yield the way with yardage as my truth,
For I felt neither foolishness nor wise.
There could not be another for these eyes,
To beckon me to purple northern lights.
In days & nights of waning gibbous skies,
Was...

Of Breath and Light
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music.” Hafiz
It is not the mind
That breathes
The body
It is nature
That breathes
Light sparkles in the sky
Between the stillness
Of a tree
And the stillness
Of God
Is
I
Myself
And
Me
Clouds drift across the moon
When I look
Into the eyes
Of my cat
They look
Back
Completely
When my cat
Looks away
He looks away
Completely ...
It is not the mind
That breathes
The body
It is nature
That breathes
Light sparkles in the sky
Between the stillness
Of a tree
And the stillness
Of God
Is
I
Myself
And
Me
Clouds drift across the moon
When I look
Into the eyes
Of my cat
They look
Back
Completely
When my cat
Looks away
He looks away
Completely ...

Her Pearled Reflection
Drinking from her golden goblet
overflowing in that hour
soaking my senses,
wandering tree-lined streets
flushed, from evening’s red-brick glow
hands caressing rough stone-walls
feeling the day’s slow heat,
I saw her
in the hush of twilight flow,
ruby lipped
skin blushing, flowing deep
shades of rouge, bordering
shadow-fringed eyes.
Her wild tresses streaked the darkling sky
cirrus curled, gently diffuse
dancing, a languid heartbeat’s pulse
stretching beyond the horizon -
a spilled...

Midnight surpreme
Black core with a blue burst of light.
To me it was a beautiful sight.
Uplifting stems putting petals in flight.
I had to touch thorns tore my skin.
It did hurt but i touched it again.
Soft tender petals plush and thin.
I try to handle with delicate care.
To watch you dance in the air.
Captivating and beautiful not even aware

Kalapana
Here the sky is a dome where my eyes become stars and the wind blows heavy in the morning with salty mists
Blackened lava fields are Pele's fingers that stretch as far as the eyes can follow
down to the ocean where the sturdy and the dreamers build homes for their souls to reside - protected by the land
The Aina, the land drenches the soul like wine, if you stay long you will become the land, in each step is life, is Aloha
Here I wait for you, blue sky becomes your eyes, the rough land, like your working hands
I love the land and you are the land
Here, Pele...

Sunset
Drawn forth across our skies
Chariots of fire bleed within your eyes
Reflections of the day as it sets to die
Giving rise to a quiet murmur
Taking song amongst dusks calling
Ebbing towards defiant longing
A final wish to parts your lips
Is laid within ascending night
Cast in a light from the remnants of elements
Crowned with stars we lie between
Blooded skies and reddened embers
The burning leaves of trees
An echo of the scenes
A silent veil of day fades away
As shadows fingers strip with ease
The cage of bonds that...
Chariots of fire bleed within your eyes
Reflections of the day as it sets to die
Giving rise to a quiet murmur
Taking song amongst dusks calling
Ebbing towards defiant longing
A final wish to parts your lips
Is laid within ascending night
Cast in a light from the remnants of elements
Crowned with stars we lie between
Blooded skies and reddened embers
The burning leaves of trees
An echo of the scenes
A silent veil of day fades away
As shadows fingers strip with ease
The cage of bonds that...

Cooling Winds
The cooling winds prevail
moving as they choose,
taking the fallen leaves
into their confidence,
each swirling, dancing along
as imaginations take them
to far away destinations,
over wild lands and subtle waves
where the sky and sea meet,
they bring stories of coming snows
it seems like the cooler winds
always chase the warm,
gentle times away.

Day Surrendering Unto Night
Caring not what lies far below,
Only what is to come and what will follow.
I shudder at your sensuous caress.
And abandon my will and my very essence,
Still I turn not from your piercing gaze,
But instead allow all to be displayed.
Wishing for the touch of your hand,
Knowing only you can understand.
I am lost when you are not around,
Back to with you is how I am found.
Before the ebbing moment comes,
Then embrace our desire to blossom.
Our passion casts a glow so bright,
And softly fades as amber light.
And when our time...
Only what is to come and what will follow.
I shudder at your sensuous caress.
And abandon my will and my very essence,
Still I turn not from your piercing gaze,
But instead allow all to be displayed.
Wishing for the touch of your hand,
Knowing only you can understand.
I am lost when you are not around,
Back to with you is how I am found.
Before the ebbing moment comes,
Then embrace our desire to blossom.
Our passion casts a glow so bright,
And softly fades as amber light.
And when our time...

OUTSIDE THE BOX
As the season slowly beings to change and fall appears upon and within the trees that slowly begin to change there colors, and the skies change from baby blue to dark and gray mix with a touch of white puffy clouds, that drift slowly upon the winds of time as if done by magic.

Prop me on the ledge of heaven
Floating featherlight in the ether
As our bodies sing elysian rhymes
While consecrating crimson wishes
Filling me with the stars of Eros
Floating featherlight in the ether
As our bodies sing elysian rhymes
While consecrating crimson wishes
Filling me with the stars of Eros
