Fine sketch 
of that palace
simmering with passion,
blushed tale in chiaroscuro;
Demure, 
soft lines that only two can see;
Blithely ever after,
that’s natural
shading....

Clear, dark
Hand of
Illusion, from the
Artists' dramatic
Rendition with its
Obscure depth and
Secret dark
Corners in the paintings'
Ultimate expression of
Repellant terror
Out from her mind....

Here it is lovers!
   The violin timbral,
      Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro,
         the crescendo of a crescent moon - ((2/14/2021))
      duet hearts of light and shadow,
   the morsel of a kiss,
soulmates of bliss....

Backlit in life’s shadows –
the exacting burden of responsibilities –
you are lost.
Bathed in light amongst shadows
of trials and tribulations that
internal hope defrosts;
one can but surmise 
your inner strength,
as the light bends to reveal the cost.

I’ve seen faces pictured 
half in shadow and half in light,
mysterious,
ominous, 
unsettling,

though not half as menacing as
certain faces I see in real life, 
warm, 
smiling, 
inviting,
but on which, in the full light of day, 
you can’t see 
the mind....

with youthful passion
she quivered under his touch
they soared together

in old age
he longs for her response
chords of chiaroscuro

sun-spoiled colors like fruit to burst slowly yield to a shadow tide pulling a demure 
crescent 
moon posing nude for constellations extinguished by the tremorous lips of dawn 
changing 
watercolor into oil for noon’s dominion over shade hoarded then troweled and finally 
plowed as 
light is sipped into 

stars...

I am dying that the light may live
Piercing my shredding shroud
For the glorious sun to blaze forth
Out of the depths of my darkness.
His brightness will shine through

                    To
          Dispel all doubt
                    And
                    The
                  Shade
                To clarify...

God is our answer,
When the music bursts
Under our beloved balcony
In Salvador de Bahia,
When a woman dances
In a cabaret in Manaus,

Love is our answer
When the sky is red and pink
Above the Oregon,

God is our answer,
In the night of algebra,
In zero and infinity 
In the chiaroscuro of Rembrandt
On the table around the friends
For a friendly repas,...

Touch me with your heart's chiaroscuro!
Oxygen shall travel elsewhere; this is our waltz.
Understand that it's okay to trip; I don't need to be impressed.
Celebrate with me tonight as we rejoice in each other's lovely imperfections!
Honey, even if we fall, we'll stand through all odds together.

Good-bye…
Simply a word?
What essence is encased
Within this single utterance?
The alchemy of optimism?
The enigma of uncertainty?

Good-bye…
A blend of hope and the unseen?
Fracturing moments of farewell?
Aromatic vows dissipating
In the fluxes of fate?
The chiaroscuro of existence?

Good-bye…
A poet's silent elegy
Where love, loss, and longing
Converge and dissolve?
A kaleidoscope of emotions, promises
Distilled into a single breath?

Good-bye…
