Modest Heart

is there cosmetical Diversion,
masking of Womanhood
some Purity desirous for Me
to match the Beauty neither Uniform
nor Differences in Character and Creed
can camouflage?

so Failure fear not,
when, in Truth, there be None.
just steer thy wing’d Steed
into th’ Airs in Question;
cast the Clouding Net
to vacuum up the Mist’ries;
and really touch the Sun.

            besides,
suppose She feels the Same
        (about You.)
O, would That be a Dream!

Our Moment

as these ancient Spectacles
palp a Memory
from rimpl’d Parchment
…of  Youth…
our Springtide

Eyes and Limbs fitfully bridg’d
by Love’s Quietude
during fluid corporal Orbits

Joy trickles
o’er the Riverbeds of my Cheek
and from Head to Toe
my Heart beams

From Then

Last Night
I saw Him many Years ago
looking straight at Me Today—
only He couldn’t see Me Then

until Now—
in Awe of his Youth
in Awe of his Potential
and wondering
if He’d be disappoint’d
… or satisfy’d
that He’d become Me

Sunset 0126

come evening
a new artist
commingles light declining
with heaven’s nimbi

and ere dries that canvas
brushstrokes will give birth
to moods of fresher expressions
till dusk fades into shadow

World Walker

a Mystery be drop’d
into Roulette’s Carouse
embarking Her daily Routine
leashing the bait’d Breath
of Her Master’s Sphere’s
by scouting newer Avenues
to enhance Life’s Knowledge
of Heaven’s shifting Sands

Bearer of Expression

be drawn her Senses
to a Fragrance of Elation

engendering Her to traverse
with invisible Wings
the Mystic Bridge

and be welcom’d
by an intimate Cloud
whose Voice resonates
in vivid Bloom

Sylvan Symphony

though imperceptible but beheld
Her Melodies be Woodlands’ Breath—
Colloquy of Wind and Trees and Lakes
 Sunshine and Moonlight
Darkness and Heaven’s Tears
and Beasts all vying for Turf—
remote from Clamor’s and Blight’s
stampedes upon Cement and Runway Skies
and Addictions to Airwaves—
for an unknown Term
Nature’s uncultivat’d Realm
