Long Antares Poems

“The Scorpion’s Touch”

Under glass
the sound cuts out sharp
just like under water
and we run out of breath 
like insects running around

we are magnified 
in our tight enclosures

internally observed
the external turns away

From the cradle, I leaned left before I could even talk,  
Tossing my applesauce leftward before I could walk.

Her hair is like the golden Milky Way
Draped across...

You turn me on, you make me misty-eyed,
My nascent science of love, years back,
When I followed you downstream, to bloom it began,
The sight of flowers blossom, in earnest we did invest,

Light! Oh, light that Christmas tree gaily light,
Intoning angels fly, light flickers to full delight,
Beneath twigs lies my gracious Christmas gift, 
From my kind heart and hand I bestow you,please lightly lift.

Not knowing then when we penned the verse called, 'Chimes'....
That it would seem as a prophecy one day unto this loving heart ?
An anniversary and his child their imagine ? What becomes remains, real
Never, because...
