Titian hue in clouds 
Preambles a chilly dawn
Weaving a new day...

your titian glow ebbs
     as you sail into the sea
          sunset now descends

Raphael's old mate, namely Titian,
Was thinking of taking up fishin',
He was reading a book
About slinging your hook,
Then strode off with his rod on a mission!!...

Titian tresses tumble
as do her tears
I’ll save on hairdressing costs
she says with a watery smile

Over pelagic reefs,
oscillating waters
obfuscate sunken fetes. 
Octopi tango while
oarfish flash titian fins. 
Opulent paradise:
oblivious to us.

Chestnut hair
Hues of gold

Transforms to dust
Settles there in

Eyes umber

Index finger
Traces ear

Guides titian tresses
In channel there

Eyes slumber

She goes to a place
Where little girls dream

She goes to a place
Where little boys dare

Ne’er enter...

Visit New Mexico,
she says... diamond cut sea
colored skies, a white

bursting. Sparkles. Reach
for these silver crests; gather-
birds soaring. Enspheres.

Orange tincture of
the peels loosening.Cruer
trickling down your

hands shaped like these peeled
spectral trees. Edges. Claws, clenched.
Titian dresses

the denuded bark:
sunlit ornaments. Deserts.
Bloodshot cast wings. Clots....

Like Easter eggs and seashells,
I collect them
scattered dubloons in gypsy gold
Brushstrokes of verse by hands more able
to decorate, and brighten
My barren table

Bountiful fruit from other fields
As smiles compel, 
As lament heals
They are the beauty I borrow
The flowers I water

They are gems of titian embers
The ascension
Of alpine timbers

They are starshine's lilac eclipse
A caravan of kinship
At my fingertips.

 O' weary a traveler am I, reign
 Grudge bugging Li catapulting again 
Meteor hritik traveling zrrr insane 
Absurd Milky Way pothole vrrr mundane
Luteroberg mosiktoe growl zrrr complain

Visits vor vat gobbles on try Titian v o b o g o i z e d disbane

gloom glides featherless angels to bleed the last ounce of ruby plasma

dim damp clouds strike silver lightening moisture from tense ebony eyes

inviting cobalt aura - glow saffron fire upon rainy faces

pleading for  final  noise to hit fading ears is howling newborn cries

entreating new flock to fly white Jupiter joy into sombre hearts  

 stars relinquishing titian rays as articles of their stardust soars

granting shadows plunging moonlight waves - melodies of hope in the light...
