whins of sapphire tittering
on a clear night
tendrils of turquoise in song
to a warm heart
the ruby of a rainbow the star
of a summer’s rain
it is You
for a whole minute
no ringtones
no voices to hear
no texts to read
no one’s answering
somehow
he must at least
try to speak to himself
his fix to satisfy
while his mind
grins and whispers
“Do you hear yourself?
Do you see yourself?”
how will Her nursling
prevail
to childhood
to elderhood
thru obscurity forthcoming?
whispering off granite walls
another epos
or thy thoughts
with open sails
listening
as far as can hear th’ ear?
fingertips from hope?
but hope, nonetheless
with glitter to ornament
Heaven’s face
and ours
with reasons to smile
again
your eyes
reflect’d mine
slowly drown’d
in a thickset fog
… for a moment
my mind
became abstract
a caldron
of turbulent thoughts
then mindless
… for a moment
I was in love
I am in love
forever
at least
… for a moment
lighting our way
across the mystic sea
of souls
that our whimsical tomorrows
might toast
his favorite goblet
and share the fun
of yesteryears
