Celeste Romance
I gaze at those fireflies in
your butter-sweet eyes that shine,
succulent with white lush pulp
of love's purity,

you hue my wildflower heart
with hyacinth, as we twirl
like spring-shaded tulips in
life's regal-black psalms; 

mon cherie, I wish for stars
to sequin your shimmering
wine soul and cradle comets
of faith in your...

Do i see pictorial echo's of love 

in hues of pink? upon a heavenly ceiling,

 dramatic as the verse instructed from 

an eternity of muse's, conveyed in cloud valleys

 under their thunder headed bluffs 

outlined by faded magenta 

and rising in coloums of power 

or...

The Mary Celeste of My Life
Lost at sea, rudderless
Steaming coffee awaiting lips
gone into eternal mystery
Ghosts of love long vanished
Shipshape sinking soul
A'fouled by waves
of indignant pain
Love lost at sea
Empty vessel sails on
Adrift
Ever adrift
Indifferent to its fate
Destination of no concern
Where has the crew
vanished to?...

Neck resting on the crook of my arm
gentle throaty murmur, content, calm.
Moonglow eyes no longer bear the weight of day
and slowly set. She gently drifts away.
I too must sail the night realm where she goes
but not yet- please, not yet...

Circus Celeste
The greatest tent with its sparkling light,
the ultimate show of all tonight.
Bears, Scorpions, Bulls, Lions and Crab,
are some of the creatures on the twinkling map.
Aquarians, Librans and Gemini in the air,
while Sagittarians shoot those arrows fair.
Wandering giants of Saturn and Jupiter so slow,
taking eons to...

Mary Celeste
Mary Celeste 

When I came to my brother’s house,
In the sweet suburbia, the house was empty.
But the table was set four and dinner
In the kitchen the food was warm. 
My brother has a lush garden and it was a hot day
so I switched on the...

Marie Celeste

There once was a Man of Mystery,
Who survived an event in History.
Escaped the Marie Celeste,
In a Canoe, heading West.

As for the rest, it’s still a mystery....

Marie Celeste
The table is laid and untouched
  Blankets of silence hold sway,
The table is laid and untouched,
  Day becomes day after day
The lamplight’s burning out. 
  The floorboards creak and shrink
The lamplight’s burning out,
  Yet Marie she does not sink.
Her structure towers...

Celeste Strides
Crescent wisps on rolling stones
swivel bubbling ember to burn.
Sizzling jewels on moss thrones,
redwood embellishes withering fern.

Showers of September rinse
sunset in mellowed strides. 
Lustrous pink rivulets wince
on shimmering green slides.

The lonely squirrel rolls in bed
to drench in soothing musk tide.
Cuddled mist drizzles the red
veil of fir...

A Ghost Aboard the Celeste
Echoes in the cool of the sea
Riding on the winds of the Pacific,
With reverberations of faint whispers
Tearing through the reins of the soul;
Thus it came striding through the cruise:
A ghost aboard the Celeste!

Smiles on the faces of beauties
Met with no sense of premonition,
Popped open a...

The Eight in Seventy Two
Ploddingly it took the form
Of some dispassionate melody
Our wailing voices at crescendo
For our undying we mourn

With care they traipsed the deck
A mass of notions in mind
Did ten artlessly disappear
or were held by the Atlantic's inside?

Still we stood and tried to inform
Searchers of our malady
That we...
