Kiss by the Passing Breeze of Awakening
Dust of divine whimsy
Flutters softly on unconscious cheeks
With ephemeral dawning
Fleeting like the flash of silver sandals
In moonlight - here then hidden -
Stepping out of the opaque
Soul stirring from oblivious daydreams
Stepping into moments of classical
Lavender-rose moments.
The leaven of breezes in stardust essence
Flares in lambent clarity
Caches of chimera, that drain the heartbeat,
Shrivel in bursts of cheeky shooting stars.
Aroused from the depths of sleepwalking,
Grace notes float on rose scents
Harvested in potpourris for strangled screams
Scrambling through midnight fogs,
Sentience revisits in soft swirls
Awareness, roused by reveille,
Stirs caressed codas in soft preludes,
Awakes in fresh mindful raptures
Nurtured by a passing angel kiss.

Autumn Delicacies
Scruffy clouds scoot across a ragged autumn sky
Scattering bits of seasonal, savory, spice ~
Hues of paprika fly from orange tupelos
Then spin together in tumbleweeds of rusty umber oaks
And fluttering tinges of gold from ginger hued aspens ~
Aromatic sassafras, imbued by sable sycamores,
Stir up chestnut stars of wafting anise stars
Folded into swirling feasts of umber cinnamon beech
Twirling potpourris of equinox bouquet garni
As whirlwinds mix the delicacies of burgundy liquid amber ~
A banquet feast ~ a jubilee ~
Mixed and measured
By the hand of wind song rhapsodies
Strewn across autumn’s tongue ~
Taste testing fall.

Before gathering gloom takes away our eyes,
Let’s fill them with dandelions’ dance.
Before our mouths are closed by the curfew of age,
Let’s deposit in them the taste of kisses.
Before dusk deafens our ears,
Let them hear the just and the righteous sing.
Before sweet scents are sent away,
We’ll feast on the potpourris of wines and seas.
Before the world is a stranger to our hands,
Let the sun press into them the shapes of light.
And when our hearts can no more crave,
They shall declare, “My riches? You have no idea.”
