Dreams afloat
On riffled air

A cool see-saw descent
Of hope’s

There lived an alien named Pirrett
Later he rode a comet
But then hit a hit a rocket
And ruined NASA's descent!

You are 
         the release of 
     my senses 
                 towards 
                      the worldly descent 
          of 
            my heart.

I think 
I'm gonna' change
like the tempestuous wind
the lucid kite within
its now severed string
useless tail 
and descent to where
no one 
shall find me

As it heads inexorably to the sea
In its headlong descent

Need of solving her descent.

A FIT OF SHIVERS
CLOAKED IN SILENCE
PALE AS SNOW

THROUGH THE DARKNESS
SOAKED ANS SHIVERING.

God’s sublime elixir, our tremulous heart sips
Polarities dance in a game of descent and ascent
There’s nothing to be done save granting love consent

Setting of the sun
Displaying many colors

As the hues give way to darkness
Light will come again to view
At dawn
