Poem
Dear Sir Thomas:

Angels 
never fly 
too far away.
Cherubs
are 
pious messengers 
cloaked in 
ribbed-serpentine
streamers;
bathing 
themselves
in a bemused 
shower
of rainbow-lit
banderoles.

Stifled 
in an unseen
internal silence -
a clandestine court 
of guardians;
our private angels,
unassumingly,
fold their 
winged extremities
and gloriously 
chant messianic
chorales without an 
operatic note
perceived.

No gestures.
Nothing mumbled.
The chosen few...
we know better.
 
Dear Sir Thomas:

Weren't we
uproarious then?
Biting our lips
and neurotically 
watching re-runs 
of Laugh-In;
it reassembled
our gamed hurt.
It provided us 
with focus,
but now - I'm
acting as a 
disguised charlatan,
borrowing 
strength
from the cinders 
of a simple
nature like yours
(to camoflauge )
my own 
internal 
disfiguration.

As for the
brokenhearted -
they silently 
weep. 

Dear Sir Thomas:

Our heads are
turned towards
your smiling face.
Remind us not
about an 
unspoken unwanting
or a silent forgetting -
yet submerge us in 
the rememberance of
continued happiness.
The grins you
spread upon our brows -
were instantaneous
and infectious.

Your wonder.
Your magic -
irrigates our
veins like a
remembered
shuffle 
of a
whispered
solitaire for
two.
Happiness -
you reminded us 
not to forget about -
the enjoyable 
outcome of an
upturned frown.
For it is our time -
it is 
our moment...
to grasp 
a minute 
in our hands,
within a second, 
and
ponder it's memory
for an eternity.

We all trip 
upon stupidity.
We all shoot
and
stumble upon 
the benign.

Dear Sir Thomas:

An anonymous
angel
spilled my soul
into tomorrow's 
chalice 
drowning me 
in your 
splendid
miraculous dreams.
For that 
special invitation -
I wipe away my 
prayer-filled tears
and thank you -
as you now romp 
within an angelic entourage
of embraced 
enchantment.


Goodnight, Sir Thomas.
