Short Avidity Poems

Something changing, shifting, fading...
Lackluster, the heat has gone cold.
Open portals closing, drifting, dreaming...
Trepidation, the eyes to the soul.

Imploring, a quick and tantalizing grasp.
Deadened passion, avidity, and lust....

Many claims love is mad,
Alike you spice of life;
I wonder listen to glad
Spare rare its magic dive.

Consider beauty of mind relax.

Free from bondage perfect hive,
Sustain glory till universe alive....

The magnetic star adjacent the Moon
to guide the sailor way out,
My heart responds to

You ignites my bituminous soul,
With an immortal spark...

masked now by a clouded moon.

Coyote crunches the thin bones in its blood-wet jaws
as if they were its very own....
