In the inner garden where silence lays its mantle of blue dust

In the inner garden where silence lays its mantle of blue dust,
The butterflies in my stomach have slept so long they seemed like stones,
Or perhaps they died in a winter of forgetting and cold shadows,
But now, suddenly, I feel them awaken as if they were memories,
They begin to move slowly, unhurriedly, like children in the

Serenity Lays Amongst Stars

The night lays down like a black silk mantle, embracing the sleeping city

The night lays down like a black silk mantle, embracing the sleeping city,
I search in its deep silence for your warmth, a living flame lost in the cold wind,
In these long winter nights when my thoughts are stray birds,
Only you can catch and chase them away with your gentleness, a warm spring breeze.
You are far

A unicorn travels through the wheat fields and lays its dreams on pillows of poppies

A unicorn travels through the wheat fields and lays its dreams on pillows of poppies,
In your fragrance of wind, as clover crowns itself in bloom,
Over the evening horizon, see, stars were falling,
And in a handkerchief, I knot the embroidery of the storm.
Under my feet, dust grows, and lightning passes through me,
The wind moves among the

In the breath of twilight, when the sky lays its veil over silent realms

In the breath of twilight, when the sky lays its veil over silent realms,
I float through the boundless atmosphere, where life takes root and flourishes.
Yet, beyond this tangible sphere, an unseen noetic space unfolds,
A realm where spirit dances, where the whispers of consciousness sing.
Here, in this mystical embrace, intuition becomes a guiding star,
A luminous thread

Beneath the starry vault of memory, your voice lays down

Beneath the starry vault of memory, your voice lays down
Like a blanket of marble weathered by long-forgotten deities.
I've allowed my hopes to be gently polished
By the eternal warmth of your words, over the seas of my shipwrecked dreams.
In the fragile surprise of an unexpected blessing,
I sought to grow stillness among the inked rocks of despair,
As

A unicorn travels through the wheat and lays its dreams upon poppy pillows

A unicorn travels through the wheat and lays its dreams upon poppy pillows,
Among the echoes of time that resonate in an eternal violet dusk,
Where the sky embraces the sea in a mirror without lid,
And the moon is a silver brooch that captures vapors of untold events.
Upon its back grow flowers of light on astral paths,
Weaving

In the depth of your arms, time lays down its dreams softly

In the depth of your arms, time lays down its dreams softly,
Under the velvet of the moment, every burden turns into a silent thorn.
Oceans of trials I traverse, when I find solace and purpose,
In the sweet penumbra of your embrace, that caresses each August sunset.
When you enfold me in your world, forgotten are the turmoil

By the Sweet Waters, Her Beauty Lays

By the sweet waters,
Her beauty lays,
Exotic in its graces,

The waves dance,
Sensually,
Like champagne,
To the shore,

As they sigh,
In the mango breeze,

The palm trees leaves,
Caressing, and staying sublime,

While the moon,
Bathes her exotic shore,
With its red wine

What Lays Ahead

i headed out somewhere
away from everything I knew
away ~ where i could start anew
and in my head i was already halfway there

What Lays Between

white capped peaks appear then go
cresting mountains blue and green
with prayers that triton’s spear won’t show
we cross what lays between

old skalds tell of the tempest’s wrath
this realm no man’s to own
if careless of the swell and trough
you’ll reap the seeds you’ve sewn

with wary looks cast overboard
caulked timbers flex and cry
and oaths that seek divine accord
entreat

The Known Lays Down With the Known

Erotic prayers are tattooed
onto virtual skin.
She clutches at this man;

prints his likeness over her tongue.
His words
are bedtime stories for the flesh.

An ethereal fruit grows ripe,
hangs from dendrites of desire.

They meet at the verge of vision,
upon distant screens - images melt.

Then they come together.
Passions nail cyber secrets into reality.

Hotel doors slam. Daylight bustles
through echoing corridors.
From each

When Love Lays In Full Bloom

When love lays in full bloom
                                              Open the door
 

And the Badge Lays Heavy On My Chest

The police badge I wore shone so bright
On the day I graduated it felt so right
For the uniform was what I wanted for me 
But there were times when there was a price for it you see
And the badge lay heavy on my chest

There was an Easter when a family counted the cost
After a young

My Cat Lays In My Lap-

MY CAT LAYS IN MY LAP-

the cat sat on my lap 
the condescending, crusty cat sat on my lazy, large lap
