hypnopompic hues
multifaceted jewels
confetti luminaries
a gift from mother?
i’m cosseted in
its incalescence
its wind chime colors
my mind’s fixed upon
rubies, sapphires, emeralds
even if i fall
into somnambulant sleep
i cannot chase dreams
chimerical blooms
cut gems of rain-and-moon-bows
that unfurl as i awake

Antecedent Universe
Imagine if a moment
Could be caught on film
The presage
The nuance
The spectrum
The emotion
The context of
The moment itself
An eternity in an antecedent universe
Waiting to be remembered
Wanting to be recorded
While the shutter clicks
And the film advances
In the changing incalescence of
The light
David J Walker
Sky tinged with phosphorescence
Moon pale, convalescent
Incandescent lunar crescent
Adolescent lips meet in acquiescence
Hopes blaze, steamy flourescence
Hush! thy quiescent quintessence
Shy effervescence, her backdrop incalescence
Tumescence lurks too, fraught essence
In Love's Mirror of Evanescence
