Long Nighttide Poems

I was a solemn person by nature, so my demeanor was always dignified,
Like the somber moon of nighttide, that sees vaguest dreams magnified.

Oh, I enjoyed having a good time, only I showed it in different...

It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea.
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;---
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to...

Night of Aurora	

Dance of Life -
Night of Aurora before the midnight sun,
Before the polar threshold of the daystar,
As Aurora’s swirling spirals flicker
In winsome purple-green electric flashes,
Dappled spectral neon scarves 
From nighttide’s celestial dust,

Dance of barefoot...

Star of David

Ah!
These
stars, for
they all seem
to wedge the whole
nighttide tract of our perpetual sphere's vaulted ceiling, that
lingers on their ambiguous tethered strings, consumed
by a grand dark expanse beyond where...

Mom's photo album (in the attic, somewhere?)
Ah! Found it by an overdue book (from a library, somewhere?)
There's mom with a Mountie (in Canada, somewhere?)
Mom by a natural spring (in Maine, somewhere?)
Mom in the kitchen (at...

Ode To The Hourglass
E'er spent in the margin of its clutch of us,
We breathe its granules in nighttide befallen,
Wanderers adrift campaign design to thus,
Daytime withdrawal of star hole we crawl in,
Be of that horizon art...

I stand as if one grain of sand among billions unseen
as the force of life's storms wash over me
with the same tantamount as this ocean
lashing out against the shore
battered, bloodied, ever changing
yet breathing with the...

it's the midnight hour
as i watch the rise and fall
of your breath blend
in peerless harmony
within the cicada's song

i twirl along
in secluded mind
where thoughts fall
faded like shadows
beneath moon's lambent light

remembrance comes
in winded breaths
as i recall
the camber...

I sing the gentle villanelle,
A villenesque so slightly said,
Howbeit the nighttide casts her spell.

And now the rune I know so well
Remains, remembered, in my head;
I sing the gentle villanelle.

As evening leaves and shadows dwell

Montana skies 
at nighttide
drips with stars
trailed by crimson showers
beneath the clouded hue
of the milky way

alabaster tips
of mountains
stand like shadows
almost touching
the backdrop of night
aglow in the blush
momentarily 

I stand
in the stillness
of my own actions
the same as...

Thinking of Whitney Houston for some reason ?
Her beautiful voice like flowers in your hair rising....
Acappella and such a strange vibration; people in motion
Spirits, love's potion ? Nay these altars nor volcanos; sacrificial
Blades their children...

Well, then hit me with your best shot ?
Truth is we're just a breath away from this
Your gray grim day, part two: summon the kings
Tis urgent hurry please bring me my ancient armour
That their pagans...
