Short Aflight Poems

You and I
dancing in the margins
ever so gracefully.
Cues never lifted,
Doubts aflight.
Biases.
Perpendicular lives.
Merging?
perhaps, upon heaved veil...

While
plumes
flutter
in rhythm,
swans twirl a ballet
girdling  through agile quills aflight
and pivot in choreography of glazed moondance
till wings leave at  finale's point  when icy November appears on a graywashed stage.

Through a glazed nightfall shimmering on meadows
Gold rays, moontones, widescreen-to-sky entices
When stars bloom freely on southern hour, find me
Tracing dusk's lattice


Catch the mist aflight before the glow withers
While basin of light reaches its finale,
Then my skin will begin to memorize
One nocturnal trail

Crazy;  just
unyielding lust aflight which was restrained
Escaping love for life
It flirts isistently with the wind
of the breath that is,

Until overwhelming truths will cease to be part of your youth,

Feel past, present, future drives meshed so clear this very time,

Then you may see all that you know, all that you are, not very far

Seven and two all aflight.
Heros of a triad banner.
All fighting toward one goal,
HOME.

as they do their business
of being warriors.
We are like them,
in that we want,
the same things in life,
Safety and security.
Only, they stand for it.
Proud and tall,
their lives cut short,
like so many,
by a smokey tailed demon.
To the firery earth they plunged,
uncontrolably, they scatter upon the rocks,
life ended,...
