Figment on a Thread

I keep returning here
from another dream
knowing what’s
around every next corner
behind every next doorway
beneath every next footstep

but then the haze be sever’d
without tocsin
bleeds out the vision
evaporates its memory

till outside my sleep
a spark in distant time
bethinks that same place
where I’ve never been

or have I?
sometime else?

Olden Love

                                          another seasons of four
                                          have we shar’d

                                          be the fog
                                          thicker

                                          the sidewalks
                                          more uneven

                                          our thoughts
                                          often lost in thought

                                          yet whenever I feel
                                          the lifelines
                                          of thy fragile hand
                                          with mine
                                          ‘tis yesterday’s light
                                          I behold
                                          in that fairest of faces

the way we were

                                        some said rebellion

                                        so unsound for some of us

                                        just another phase

Love’s Legacy

have always been our spirits
as fancies my heart?

were then We there
at first season’s weaning
when yawn’d and stretch’d a microstar?

night with day to grace
and serenade glacial clouds
whose joy wept over thalassic plains
and bless’d loftiest peaks with child
from Eden
to her tributaries
to now?

so shall We be
though Time be drown’d
in Her foreverness

station of acquaintance

                                       spirits transforming their cloth
                                       yet unable to mask memories
                                       that dwell at the crossroads
                                       of moment—
                                       and sometimes
                                       those of modest dress
                                       be the fondest
                                       with a will for immortality
