Arabesque
Bush: she had a deep
black birds nest.
Fecund Arabic woman
dark peaches for thin lips.
White faced, I redden in the sun,
a blanched fig, a thirst
for dew drops.
One night is enough, maybe two,
there must be a Spanish guitar
pleading the stars for more tears.
I have a comb
for her oval waves,
she is, for a while,
the mother of the world
the secreting

In My Mind, Questions Arabesque Like Dancers
I have a questioning mind that feasts like a beast
on being detail oriented. The morsels I consume
are what others think of as simply a waste of time.
But when gathering more snippets, I find room.
Most often it's a curse, denying me any answers.
In my mind queries arabesque and whirl like dancers.
For example, there's a beach ball

To a flower
You are the fragrance
And for poetry
You are the refrain

Arabesque
Dressing up the evenings’ shoulders
shawls of white silk bloom
enticements,
evenings on silk shoulders
making up stories behind the shadows,
through pomegranates of word the step is the story’s shadow,
the magi has stars to bewitch the deeps
into word.
Time, a wizard bewitched by stars,
spawns white shoulders of stars,
lured
by trails, the steps bloom on shawls,
the white agate evening
grazes grains of sand.

Arabesque
In the night one can lean on its distant plight filled with fright
As a caged barbaric inner longing to ensue its promise
She wore stars in her hair with a promise of hope;
In her longing able bodied spectators would often croon
With her silver spoon a visible reminder to pray
Arabesque often would look the other way too

Arabesque - Repost
She crooned her arabesques creating rune-flowers
Wafting sweet promises never kept
Oh moonlight April night
How the fragrance lingers
She yet in mind sings softly in my ear
“I love you”
How she waltzed me round gliding

Arabesque After Twilight
Hand-clasped reverence opened to God.
Your silent nature lend angels to nod.
Writers scribble and prolific poets prod -
as one envisions your perfect face.
You can taste a raindrop before it has dried.
Console a teardrop after an infant has cried.
The music in your soul is a heartbeat that glides.
Precisioned notes flicker into place.
Your feelings soar beyond heart and

ARABESQUE (triple Haiku)
faded lace old times
this favorite tune playing
“smoke gets in your eyes’
she said “I love you”
and at the moment meant it
time jaded spilt wine
simple arabesque
but oh so complicated
she said “I love you”
