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

Stardust
have our spirits always been
as fancies my heart?
from time’s weaning
to Eden
to redwood saplings
to when Everest was but a plain with child
to when clouds cry’d into Atlantic canyons
to when a candle yawn’d and stretch’d
and marry’d Night with Day
Oh, yes
We were there

Restless Cerebrations
pollen from thought to thought
until “The” thought
fingers stroke where speech breathes
to where smells migrate
and yawns and stirs the lover
with infant’s eyes on a date with night
draw passion into syringe
stab into mind
and hew the tourniquet
thy bosom
the sun
flash flood
then drought in soporific beam
