Vows

Arm in Arm
thy Bridal Sails
Favor of Winds and Seas

and smiling Suns
that Lovers and Friends
Themselves might keep
beyond Dusk of Eternity

Always Now

should Tomorrow waylay Thee
with Whispers from my Heart
‘Tis but an Echo
adrift upon our mystic Orb
from Night’s other Side
ne’er to be lost

            ‘Yor

Farewell for Now (from the Time Capsule)

last light to sail upon thy orbs
shall be my face—
a smile
masking my heart’s melancholy
on your journey
beyond the peaks of dark stars—
a smile
forever a memory
in thy spirit’s lifeline—
until the flesh of my own ghost
adds substance to your dream
and our smiles embrace

Passion Key (from the Time Capsule)

fronds of amethyst spellbound
by a fragrance from heaven

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

Sloop

wide open sea

overcast

a breath of breeze

whispering tide

not a craft in sight

just her and I

relaxing under our sails

taking it all in

embracing this moment

One Portrait of Love

love is not just a pretty face
it is an aura that beckons love
love of nature
love of life
desire for everyone to love
to share love with th’ unlov’d
real love is not imaginary
sense the love within my heart?
then love me to know
your love is also real

Covenant for Love

in our rags
in our riches

could have been first sight
could have been long sharing

so certain now
so uncertain about far tomorrow

but today our eyes mirror
with surety

“I do.”

Kiss (from the Time Capsule)

like
solitary Cinder uplift’d
by the song of Nature’s breath
fades the melody
fades her wings
to alight upon a needle of pine
to slumber
to emerge from her cocoon
a candle of hope
an armor’d torch
scourge of the Forest
drown’d into ashes
the starving Ground
to suckle new saplings
richer than before

so too
a simple peck from your lips to mine
shall inflame the bond of our flesh
till our spirits slip into th’ Innerworld
where all seasons are one
Night to his pillow of dreams
as squints Day and stretches her light
to awaken Love beyond measure
