Sweet Ancient of Days,
Come to me wearing any disguise:
thorny rose
soft-footed snow
mournful wind
or rain tippity-tapping my window pane.

Romance me, though all around me prove false
though mountains shake
and the hills be removed—-romance me then, or not at...

I weep for those tortured and misguided souls
    Who in waste take pilfered solace from above.

    That Death demands with...

METAMORPHOSIS OF SELF
 
In a world of darkness and shadows deep,
A creature lies within a chrysalis asleep,
Silent and still, a soul encased,
Awaiting the moment it will be embraced.4

Within the depths, a transformation takes hold,
Starting as...

In your mind
I see a passing 
Wave –

On a 
different frequency
to mine –

If only you and I
could surf the same

On silky waters
Crest and trough in
Time –

The resonance that 
Vibrates for us both

Is oh so tantalizing...

All that you allow me instill
Oh, so grace is your glory
Oh, how wonderful you...

Sinking butterflies drip from the cocoon of consciousness
which no bee nor horse fly could understand for a blink,

You look into my eyes, the mirror to my soul;
Entreated, enchanted you explore;
You look upon me in love or is it lust;
How do I know in you I can trust?

Pacify the acts of endearment;
Untie those...

Work, work, work, 
bare back down, 
across the boardwalk,

which brings These days

Countless nights, 
no sleep, To rest my eyelids, or head,

This was for keeps for all we knew
so far away so long ago
I really fell in love with you
before you played the second show

White lace and grace and promises
Beguile?  Belong?  Betroth?  Beseech?

She came crying
In no season
Me asking
For what reason.

No answer, only sob
A finger pointing on her heart
I suspect it's all about love
As I sense it from the start.

Oh, my daughter is in love
As I hear some...

Drown in a long drink of boredom each night? 
For celluloid loves we’d gladly forage,
Evil and despair we’d gallantly fight. 
Childhood dreams put in permanent storage,
Follow villains into...

betroth yourselves
to old houses of Charlottenburg
let yourselves be mollycoddled
by the petrified rain king
buy yourselves a shiny armour
of a former seraphim
call yourselves bourgeois, 
dear ambassadors of art

prosy playwriters
live futile lives
full of futile effort

we are the revenants...

And merely flew those words astray,

While your fervour is sooner wry.
