Kissing each memory

On the

From my mouth,
Christened like
The cup
During communion-
This pavement
Shall be my
Chalice
I guess
Even asphalt
Can be a
Heavenly view....

I was shocked at the name, I confess
She’s named after Trudy’s best friend
The poor baby has been christened Tess!

Winter’s newborn fusses in blustered billows;
Colicked thunder rumbles from tantrumed lightning.      
    Blossoms nursing heavenward – April showers.

In the beginning …
the past and future
were orphans
Lost in a silence
unnamed until
spoken
Waiting in anticipation
their birthrights
in limbo
The present expanding
its moment
—christened free

My cup runneth over
  your chalice half full

The emptiness suspect
  both murky and dull

It shines on the outside

But to drink from that liquid

Dance with me, my love
Through darkened moon
Tying strings at rising noon
Come to me
Delicate wing
I
Am
Golden spun christened
Time's blade kept me
I have seen 
With your eyes
Now pressed
Silken sleep
Weave your cocoon 
So we can emerge
Eachother
Rainbow spine...

The semen of tomorrow’s rage
burning undelivered 
waiting for perdition's womb
vengeance baptized—christened tears

The seed that carries darkness on
planted in the shadows
hiding what we most despise
hatred pregnant—birthing fear

Making eternity
out of a moment
Escaping
the pretense of time
Beginnings
and endings
Falling away
in one enduring rhyme

Making eternity
bend to my will
An Angel
comes to dance
Wings on fire
Horae's lyre
The instant christened
—another chance

(The New Room: June, 2023)...

If, in culinary quarters, thin-sliced, Crisco’d chicken orders go as cutlets,
Then are coupled quatrain quarters, when arranged in rhyming order, christened couplets?

April's mist has filtered the early sunrise,
Meadows spread their blankets of colored rainbows
Newborn lambs have nestled in clover cradles,
christened by dewdrops

Teeny tiny crack seeps rose droplets,
              Glistens
Her love siphoned heart gasps for adrenaline.
            Shh...Listen
      Once  christened
Rarely granted permission to beat loudly
              Fractured
        Broken valentine,
         Please wake up!
              Be mine?...

When favored by sun

raindrops scattered through the trees

form candles of light…

Withered leaves are christened new

with lucent rainbows streaming

Sun warmed grass beneath my back

invites a nap beneath a tree

But whispered songs in wind's soundtrack

reveals a growing urgency

until a drop has christened me

A cage of sweet burning fire gold
Hung on night's swinging shears—
A golden flame still a twin so

In Orion's wordless mouth,
Its romance by dark christened
By rain; she's been cut out

Glisten
Chills in
Glimpses

A cage of sweet burning fire gold,
Its romance by dark christened,
Glimpses

~Ethereal Lanterns~...
