Evening's glow means supper is over
and it's time for my pipe and tobacco to find my porch
where I will sit alone
and the only sound is the creaking of my chair
as I rock back and forth
to watch sunsets in the skies of absorbed light
giving rendered edges to starlights dim
rotating across the vast expanse like a slow carousel
as my soul rides along
hoping to be granted access to wandering dreams
unimagined nor dreamt by gatherers
whose needs are to reap man-made objects of no importance
and fighting to see who ends up with the largest pile
as others argue among themselves over large swaths of Earth
that they can never own
I would rather sit and smoke my pipe
and catch the wandering dreams
of silent rapture and wishful treasure
at the end of a long day

Bombshell
You’re „all in all“
My heart talks about
You’re all it babbles about
The words themselves
Will not appear right
Which alone can’t describe
How I love you, my Sweetheart
If you believe perfection
Simply isn’t real
Kiss your love in the rain
Many things in this space
Can wash away pain
But none of them compare
To kiss in the rain
The downpour calls
For two lovers
Deeply slammed
Into each other
Joyfully fused
By the flood’s lips
By the wilding
Rainfall’s hot kiss
And if you wanna know
How much I miss you
Try to catch raindrops
The captured ones
Are your lack signallizers
The missed droplets
My absence’s markers
Gravity bind me to you
Your omnipresent aura
The loud beat of my heart
Sparkling starlights
In the twinkling moonlight
The liberating force of
Oxidizing splendor
Taking me out
Of my sorrow
I would be lost
My princess,
Without you
With my spirit and my whole body
You’re nobody else, honey
Who holds to my heart the key
You have gripped captured my soul
With a ferocity reserved for a castaway
Of a shipwreck clinging to a raft
In the middle of an endless ocean
If my soul was a raft
It’s your hold keeping me afloat
Your squeeze would keep
Above water my soul
Don’t ever let it go
I envelop you with
Passion of heartbeats
Covering you with
My tender feelings
My love sheath won’t
Mess with this
No other love
Can penetrate in
Your love runs
Through my vessels
Down to my palpitating
Heart shell
Mirroring your fiercely
Blazing flame
Your love give me
Something I need
Your warmth give me
Something to feel
Your heart give me
Something what’s real
If I weren't afraid, I'd break out of my castle
out of my gilded throne, out of my head tiara.
I'd break out of marble floors and tiled walls
out of this cold linoleum of grand opulence.
Breaking out of embroidered blue flowers.
Breaking out of crappy fluttering voices.
Into that open field of cherry blossoms
Into those flossy clouds of chattering birds.
Into misty mountains of icy north winds
Into stormy seas where gallant waves rush.
Into cooled sands wet in delightful soft kiss.
Into solace of graffiti, a rock in love's bliss.
Baby bats within caves of hidden treasure
No longer afraid to lose all unknown.
No longer afraid of what might happen.
No longer afraid of what world will say.
No longer afraid of starlights in sky.
No longer afraid of freedom,
No longer afraid to live...
No longer afraid to die.

Painting You
Before painting, I first sketch you
In my mind’s eye…To compose
The lines, shapes, shadows and lights,
That work altogether to form a semblant sight
Of you for any relative, friend or acquaintance…
Next, I embrace the required courage
To face the blank canvas; to dip my brush
In sublime tones for my wild orchid wishes,
Wanting to stroke across the heavens
For reflecting starlights bright,
Which I’ll situate to split the darker places
Where the inks bleed and branch out
Around you, smudging your purest colors…
That I endeavor to recover
When illness tries to smother
You with a viridescent blanket for on-going days;
Cloaking the glance of your azure blue eyes;
Pulling gray and white from your skull
To streak through your forest brown hair;
Rushing flag red moments to your cheeks
When you growl, “No. Don’t—“ when I
Try any way to help you through the fevers
That hang dredged plum-violet clouds over
The sofa — away — where you stay sleeping…
While I sit crimson awake worrying,
Watching you breathe…And asking
Through faith’s golden prayers for your healing;
For our holy Lord to send some ministering angels
— With their glistening opaline feathered wings;
Who side by side, place hands on you ~ veiling
My first view of prayers’ answers coming true;
Lifting me to a bloom of rosebud gratitude.
I paint you never far.
I paint your ocean blue eyes opening.
I paint you always beside me in a sandcastle brown.
I dapple the air over us an effervescent pink.
I paint your prism presence close.
I paint your mid-night’s Arora Borealis dancing hues.
Our love is a stippled, rolling color wheel
Of our linked diamond destinies: journeying
Together on amber roads under sapphire skies.

Glory to God…
The serenity of sensual surrender
causes our hearts to tenderly bloom
like a thousand lilac-colored roses
and purple orchids
whose fragrance lingers beyond our yesterday
into tomorrows
from every emotional breath taken
where their savored scent nourishes our souls
into a sweet fervor of submission
which we cleave to with each kiss
turning our wishes into dreams
through the resplendent colors of the day
into the night
where we offer our treasures as a gift
beneath the stars and halo moonlight
that lays on the face and hair of love
where we hear the sound of trembling heartbeats
ascending like two birds gliding on the winds of heaven
soaring beyond the glimmering starlights
that blaze across the sky
lighting the way before us leading us into a universe
of passionate intoxication, where lovers get drunk
on the eternal ecstasy of love
I only tell of sunny hours...
That grace my countenance supine.
For dark clouds mask my daily task,
Until i welcome back sunshine.
While passages of time elapse,
As seasons etched upon my face,
From springs first kiss, to winters snow
My gnomons shadow marks their place.
Each night i gaze so heavenly,
Towards the starlights grand parade.
Where jewelled diadems appear,
As diamonds set in jet arrayed.
When sunrise casts it's warm embrace
Upon my face, i will display
The time and seasons of the year,
For people passing by my way.

We somehow mature;
Our growing, but a symptom of our cure.
We wash the dreariness from winters sky.
Replace it with a canvas to acquaint the eye.
Left with minds to dabble in the memory paint of dreams
Although it seems at times too long,
Nighttimes kiss still brings to us a song
To wash a tender heart;
Mark a new beginning here, another start.
Were we free to touch the vista splendor loves so much;
Would we then soar with angel wings, rejoice in songs
A lover sings, conquer life to rise above our trials,
View all from overhead through children’s smiles,
Disappear and reappear in every starlights blink,
Nod to sun, and everyone, with knowing wisdom’s wink.
We could be the light at night that every child wishes on
Between the daylight and the dark we could become the dawn.
Listening to sweet melodies
sung on a gentle breeze
Dancing in the cosmos on
this chilled winters eve
Gazing at the beauty, up in
the night skies
Knowing starlights twinkle
shown in your eyes
Breathless whispers echo of
something so brand new
Telling of two hearts glistening
in the morning dew
Awakening deep emotions
in this reality
Visions left wide open to gaze
at all possibilities
While riding that breeze so
soft and so sweet
It's on the rivers edge where
the two shall meet
Intoxicating waves flow with
audacious style
Caressing submissive curves
with seductive guile
Speaking in abstract metaphors
and synonyms
Perfect verses whilst hearts race
from adrenaline
Floating high gracefully searching
release to provoke
Words touch vibrating as
they teasingly spoke

I AM EVEREST, Ever So-High
One that I AM with the Earth and the Sky's
Ever-Soaring, I AM a Colossal at my peak
Never Resting, Always Rising, Reaching for the Heavenlies
Ever-Upwards above the Mists Of Sight
Breaching the Ethers of Space Time,
Majestic as the Valleys deep within
I AM a Conqueror of Mountains,
at my peak I Shine In Solar Opulence
Airborne, I Pierce North in Transcendence
Like a Nectar of the supreme, I Rendezvous with Infinity
Soaring High Grounds a King Destined to be,
Standing Tall like a Celestial Bastion Of Imperial Glory
I AM EVEREST, EVER-LEGENDARY
Ever-Thriving, I Reach High and Break Veils with Might
One with Mother Earth, One with Father Sky
Breathless, I'm Resurrected at High Altitudes
Towering in Thundering Magnitudes,
Victor Of The Valleys, I Transcend Upright
I AM GLORIOUS, I Dance with Starlights
for Jim)DEVOTION POEM - ENTANGLED. (for Jim)
For me he’s The One.
As I’ve been for him
his Only One.
From the beginning when
Our fates embraced.
I listen to his breathing, while concerned,
He watches how well I’m moving.
Around him, I am a verdant vine.
He rises near — as a braid of wildflowers
around me to twine.
Our holy Lord sees our love for each other as
The poetry of twin pendulums — joined signs in
The physics and mathematics of His space and time
As we move together — entangled.
Forever our love is synchronized.
The scales of our music harmonize.
We see starlights shine — during the any
Moments of time when we embrace the highest
of love within each other.

With thanks to reading here on PS
got me to ask Jim about entanglement theory, resulting
in the inspiration for this. Thankful we inspire one another.
