Thrust In The Centre Of The Storm All I Could See Was You

directionless dilatory daydreamer that I am ostensibly vulnerable,
to the serendipitous intrusion at a wispy sapphire cloud flaccid noon,
the minimal load burdensome midpoint idle tranquil saunter,

Though little Suzie was wild about horses, she was too young to ride,
At just five golden years old. Like summer faded, where nature sighed.

DORMANT DREAMS, INTENSE - THEIR YEARNINGS
The night has erupted

The Old Summer Camp
In the green Adirondack foothills lies
the haven of our old summer camp,
once a place of adventure and outdoor joy,
and the loud cries of precocious scamps,

Hyrcanians, Medes, Egyptians, Syrians, Scyths –
soon, Greece would grovel at its tender mercies –
