I'm going to phade away into the night, since you aren't my sun-shining day
Dismay is what...

But the wind wanted to blow

“Rest now bird”, said the wind

“You now take it down slow,

And let me flow.”

 

The bird accepted thinking it was a request,

And ignored the proud in...

{intro} Suppose I will guess what you think about me
Do you think of me highly or lowly? Please be honest to the clearest degree

and softly smile about
when we dare to leave
our stiff 
stiffling closets.

friendly feasting

Together praising massively thick

Day 38

Pugnaciousness set aside, 
Phantasmal was the anticipation, 
Possessing each moment
Some shutter fell over him
He knew, at least, that he had me 
He knew that I cared enough
Ours together, in his hands and mine,
I gave...

I looked outside the bedroom window

Dawn Forever Rising

It starts

Street lights fade
their tiny soft-winged tenants flee
checkerboard facades change
last night's illumined squares now dark
become but yesterday's portals

gratings rattle with...
