Induced Interludes

Induced Interludes

Twilight disrobes a soundless star
It claims some gentler theme from me
Caught lingering in a unified bestilled embrace
Beneath a unique spotlight of its gleaming afterglow
                        gently now, gently
                        thus footprints bare none
                        alight butterfly rest on a finger
                        spilled words occasions the breeze                       
                        the gist of me shadows alongside jaguars
Morning star glint after dawns flow
Challenge arranges yet another measure
An opportune solemn hymn ingratiates breaths
Stages of a day follow blissfully edge to edge quietly
                        gently now, gently
                        a better course grace me
                        fingertip traces a fashioned grin
                        a made verse set rhythmically whispers                       
                        a softly caressed infant coos towards silence
Sunsets a mimed score entertains
Review disciplined superbly portrayed
Persuades descending rays an eyeful adieu
Nightwings greet dusk, whorls up into absence
                        gently now, gently
                        ebb star pivots another
                        penitent pose cradles prayers
                        pointed at fingers in lieu of sheeps                       
                        eyes seals behind dreams, genteel cast...
