Long Emblazed Poems

The Raven and the Bard
-Daniel Henry Rodgers

Its haunting words, a melody of fright.
The Bard's natural lines, like "Evangeline's" fair hair,
Shed history's warm light to chase away all care...

In the realm of moons and breathless tides,
where promises dance with a serendipitous sonnet of sunrises,

Drummer boy and Drummer girl. 
Creating echoes of emotions intentions.

A smile is cast upon your sultry face
as lover's glance makes way for love emblazed.
With timid touch your breast my fingers trace

How high, how low
is our inner glow?
How long will imagination swirl around
before finding that unique mind
in which lives a stunning vision
long pursued, never realized?

The airs crisp and invigorating,
With every breath I take.
For a brief moment out of many,

I look out across the land.
