some ache to cleave a little longer –

our souls
shall cleave and
shape the
quiet moon
into pink hearts
there above
the Iron Gate
on the Danube
only because
we believe in
a brighter love...

while you hold this hand and believe
in whispered words too eager to be told;

Barren Leaves Coast To Cleave
shallow..
shallow peak
hesitant on a kiss
hero in the mist
chase back the fever with a smile
still to know all the great while
love was king
chase...

A swirl of amaretto
Revolves in my coffee -
Like a galaxy - 
Shimmering and slow.

Dawn is utterly quiet;
Moon beams - thin and long -
Cleave to the flooring
Each protracted moment....

The martins cartwheel in flight,swerve then dive
and suddenly
alight upon
the moist 
mud,
beaks
filled full
of mortar,
to layer nests
that cleave seamless beneath the hanging thatch....

with parts that cleave
left to believe
a mere notion of thought

a tender soul can't ever be bought
in sought vigilance
through a faint or cry
locked in the faint of myre...

UNOFFICIAL WINTER

two days after storm
brown leaves cleave to branches, like
a flurry of crows
seasons size each other up
icy stare of snow from oak

he used his piton and his wedge
seated them with the thump of his sledge
then he stood at the crest
of her milky white breasts
looking down from atop the cleave-edge

High places are his great refuge and zest
Convincing friends to believe

And said, we’ve figured out how high is crest....

  Write than-bauk day
Mind can't stray, starts
To fray, screams no!
Needs to go rest
Let flow tension
Retention leave
Do not cleave please
Like bees' stinger

enduring 
          texture&tones
cleave
grapple
      & scatter  upon
the canvas-
fluid
 perspectives
create 
       atmosperic
flights of fancy..
enthuse,spawn
then trespass within-
lavishing loving
residues...

birds fly high and die
airplanes casually crash ~
within vital cells

jets plow proudly
calamitous hoppers cleave ~
bombs blow balloons

none responsible
wars fought won laurelled and lost ~
cool clouds camouflage

Pointed fingers,
Sharpened tongues,
Now become us
But fail to cause harm.

I laugh to know that they think anything
Other than the pale serration
Of my teeth could cleave the living flesh
From your bones.

As if their bitter words could
Bite you like I do....

During the preceding night
My eyes dissolved into cacophonies
Of everlasting rivulets
Fate never before
Had glistened so vividly
The beauteous exchange
‘twas the spate of arias betwixt us
Gradually the nexus continued to cleave...

Tourist or Terrorist
Is your flight for fight or sight?
Naughty at night… lovely in light
Some thread to tend and some to twist!

Tourist or terrorists
Have you come to cleave or cage?
Are you here to enroll or enrage?
People like priests… I fear your fist....

Each whispered word,
the lovers heard;
Each lingered look,
thrills on tenterhook;
Each tingling touch,
as fingers clutch;
then caress and cleave-
Feelings heighten and perceive
a senuous smile,
on lips,tactile;
Twinned thoughts unlaced,
held in passion's embrace....
