“Her Ever Changing Moods, the Rapture Reprising”

Lavender seduces symmetry  
in her ever changing moods
slips into something more comfortable

a swollen tangerine sky 
moves its tongue over 
the blues of her violet harbour 

calling the siren home 
through ultramarine waves gone all
rippling golden roses mulberry wine

diaphanous Psyche equipoised 
over morning’s intention
calls to the submerged 

golden trident Neptune
slips over her rolling satin curves
in truth, the sun in his world, hidden, 

still remains warm 

under blankets of subterfuge 
has gone all dark, double agent covert 
stunning the coquette with romantic notions 

undoing pearls from tight shells
like buttons ripped off a shirt, 
ebony sea shucked tuxedo, 

once again, night's trapped 

smiles silently knowing
but still lost in this Arden 
concedes to kneel at her feet

towards the velvet base 
of Luna’s salt stinging sighing tides, 
this Venus has velvet oceans to conquer

riding astride thrashing white horses, 
tame heliotrope anemones beguile and tempting 
pull falling stars into the gossamer orbits of planetarium eyes

sea purple cherries on a new canvas
never tasted so sweet 
against this passion play incomplete

he concedes, he’ll be king again 
in the morning, so he falls headfirst 
into Dark Night’s dream

Eden blooms unseen poesies 
in her night garden, like 
mother of pearl the shell opens

within the exotic 
depths of her strange and
perplexing Delphi oracle devotions

streams of light 
shadow a body of work 
receptive to luminescence

heaven is no longer suspended
it now opens gates to where all angels
and stars must at some time plunge

Modigliani’s fever as evidence
never tasted so sweet, wrapped up 
in her crushed velvet insolence

dripping deep into new sentences
those beckoning emerald reflections 
where the deserting dark cormorants fly 

over mountains rising
peaks flushed to perfection
against warm lips aching

in an arching dark night sky
the king tide washes over 
her ever changing moods

salty kissed 
upon Apollo’s rising 
morning 

she takes her leave
her ever changing moods
the rapture reprising

 Her feverish sweetness, her tragic countryside, 
her own beauty and harmony, all these are mine, 
for my thought and my work.” Modigliani

that feels the master melody, and snaps.” Modigliani
