Hours contemplated, yet words just cease to come,
Until I open my eyes and gaze at dawn’s sun
I remember words spoken in a haze of a dream,
Resting on the thoughtful tongue passed from you to me
Ignorance...

May today bring unbridled bliss 
delivered courtesy sunshine kissed
giving Midas a run for his money.

When the last trace of night 
evaporates analogous to milky hue,
whereat a dreamy state 
pervades thy...

For all those who read it will know
How much he loved her:

The woman I know, The woman I love

Emotional tension fills the air...
 Lights and laughter everywhere

 A fiesta audience waits eagerly for a night of passion.

 The dance of Spain and a sensual dancer
 The Andalusian Gypsy dancer
 El baile flamenco tonight…Ole!

Uncertainty of something so certain
That has an uncertain end
Eternally searching for ways to mend
A broken mind with leaking emotions from a shattered vessel
It seems like I forgot what made me special
And precious
Am I jealous?
If I...

Upon a glorious night
A burning fire lit upon my unrented spine
Deafened by fleeting sight
I flee the home that never was quite mine

Crushed in garish fight
Within the corridor I dare to flee
Blinded by his might
While all...

In mere, split moments two souls intertwine, 
It is a wonder I could ever possibly call you mine
Yet here you are, an enchanted dream,
Life has its twists—things are seldom what they seem!
I could never ask...

Voyage of the Skipping Stone ~

I hold you in my hand –
A skipping stone –
Cradled flat against my palm
Perfect roundness 
Dark hues, born of fire and ice, smoothed by tidal dances
Of the moon enchantress and...

Withered memories invigorate, rekindling rhythm of heart,
Grabbing hold of me to retrieve elation of forgotten past
Throbbing in enchantment, treasured memoirs now impart,
Where decaying house stands, bearing grief seasons cast.

Up the hill I trek, gazing pastures...

Zahra was a woman and erotically lovely
Youthful, beautiful and passionate
Xanadu, an ice mountain paradise was her existence
Where she lived with her lover, a
Vampire, two hundred years un-dead
Utterly intoxicating was this man
Together they dwelled in bliss
Sublime...

Forest floor matted with the detritus of time;
Underworld denizens in their castles sublime.
Tight aerial ropes, loosely dangling from above,
A veritable paradise; proof of His Love.

Brilliant gems of the summer bedazzling our eyes;
Summer's regalia, like the...

Always a gentle rose in the cubicles of my mind,
Each velvety petal unfolding, one day at a time.
The radiant beauty of a blushing new bride;
The whimsical disposition of an evening tide.

The color of our love...

Through a canopy of leaves

Night a visage of rippling ebony 
her tears falling like raindrops 
bedazzling the dark 
Her arm a windlass 
spiraling coils of silken mist

Within the space of nothingness
there lies totality...dimensions 
that the sailing ships will never find.
Here, the lurking presence of the self
within the guise of consciousness
is yet unseen, unknown
among the whirling wisps of every "I"

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Final Verse from Richard Cory...

Arm piece;
Piece of glamor;
A bedazzling jewel.

Parade of fancy flesh.
Kind to his eyes.
Soft to his touch.

Mindless merchandise
Fallen breast.
Eyes swollen;
Damaged by
Reckless owner.

Invested in the flesh.
He has stashed away
Yesterday’s
Pleasures
numerically.

Stored
in backroom boxes
Of subfuscous
treasures.
Women
Tucked away
As for yesterday’s booty.
Serves now but...

Mesmerizing. Fierce fully aggravating.
Sinfully off this guard
Narrowly beyond tracks
Heart-aching, credit-crunching.
Stomach-turning, memory-converging.
Temperance.
Control. Mind-bugging soul 
Cracks, strokes, tears, burns
The butterflies churn
Nerve-racking. Emotion-bedazzling
Ambience comely.

Done. No more.
Appetite so ended
Thoughts and ways never blended
Sharp. Frail. Obscure.
Gross. Beguiled. Unsure.
Lack-luster, deafening throbs
Shocked!
Spun....
