In Her I Died

Testa 
Undone work 
On a corner
Passing daylight
Timing in my afterlight 
Caught between no canvas Pietro 
Illustrations disappearance 
Two see no other rain in sight

We passed true as our ghost lept

Fide et Amore 
By faith in love
Fidelity as anul

Being Borrowed 
For Film
By Another Woman


When We Come Aboard
A Military waited
In grasses tan, too low
Asnt in the future
Her return, ran from more
And in our time
All stood wide
Armed in rejection
Of a betters letters, above alls door 

Oh stormy night

Dani Woodward,
    Can we write tonight?


The nights editor
    In The Times

Curtains of light kid,
      Fall on my fold
           Before you turn it in


Under the evacuation 
    She appears

    It's easy cloth I fold for you lady
         He's edited headlines besides it once
           She's missed page before
   Also why your wise.

As one life door closes
all incarnates swing opens our
afterlight reprises all spiritual energy
presupposing all existent notions
why give it away to ---unfounded FEARS?

The afterlight rays
Shining down like a moonbeam
Oh, the wondrous sight!

Beautiful Sadness

there in your midnight afterlight
there in the stillness of your nearness
you softly took my hand and shook loose yesterdays dream
you found me in every way left me without a word to say
timeless in your rose printed dress endlessly you kissed me
gently take me back where you discovered me
there leave me without all these tears of loosing you
there in your midnight afterlight
in the stillness of your nearness
without all this beautiful sadness
