Even if it’s only himself
And they his subjects

I begin as a covet, dulcet demure
pure in play, unbound to a dogma or tablature, a luscious lure,
I find that nerve of passion's verve nestled 'neath narcissistic comfiture

he feels like an island in a lake,
a deep lake glistening in lithesome ripples.
His cranky old face sees an illuminated white lotus, 
withering in shades of shaggy eyebrows and wrinkled hands.

HOURGLASS SAND

She sits alone by the candlelight, pen in hand.
Wax drips from her fingertips, like hourglass sand.

Which charmed me in time’s remembering jaunts ,
As radiant eyes winked ,

Beyond late dusk as old tower gongs pealed,
When hymn of joy was...

With sounds that gather round the ocean’s shore,
the whimsied muse her lithesome being girds
in utterances from unfathomed store.

Where pathways probe the lonesome place,
And foxes tease with tails to chase;
Rabbits crouch beneath the hedges,
And grey mice play amongst the sedges.

Frogs that squat on rocks in streams,
Croak their songs to pipe their dreams;
While butterflies...

Pansy treads a well-worn path
towards her lover,
his cape flying 
in a sudden breeze.

Nearer now,
her eyes upon the cape,

Met her on practice wall, lithesome and fair,

Friendship developed, we flirted at court,
