Your touch today felt safe for the first time
In what seemed to be a lifetime of numb refusal
Conscious forgiveness
Liberation from bitterness
Encapsulates and shelves the pain
Enabling intimacy 
No longer naive but adapted...

charming afternoon
a black, mighty eagle prowls
in spite of the mouse
~
witching afternoon
a great, mighty eagle prowls
hungry for the mouse
~
fly lonely eagle
swoop down on your prey a catch
claws encapsulates

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

A bitter rind of sorrow encapsulates my heart:
it insulates; 
it separates.

Insensitive the laughing throng 
regurgitates their song,
unknowing and uncaring,
blindly shoving me along.

A bitter rind of sorrow encapsulates my heart.

The Night Lamp

As night stumbles in
The lamp crinkles on
And the evening rides
The light - 
Which upon
The lamp’s tenderness
And glory encapsulates
Its harmony within…

It escapes the night

Her Angelic nature,is what sets her apart 
Her Beauteous smile always melts my heart

Her Ambition is high like the Everest height 
Her Trust in God,is what,that can't be slight!...

Bestowed this love
this smile 
encapsulates
me...

this rise above...

the storm 
once was...

in her calm 
she shelters' me

my heart at rest
in her gentle
caress...

the taste of her kiss
lingers...

like a gentle slow
moving river...

...at peace my spirit
again...

secure is my heart
with my love...

this journey together
serene forever
 my love......

VITALITY
encapsulates
celebrates
  innovation
hurtling
pell-mell
straight towards
an encounter
with
the viewer
veering
 en route
in
movement
  one to another
 between
wrong turns

 a restlessness
some haste
 is
detected
& is
understandable

part
of this
 zest
underwhelming
feels peculiarly
unfamiliar
in
 an encounter
so brief
an
 excursion
disjointedly
  underplayed...

Where have you been Depression? 
gray, fuzzy robe, 
blanketed high, 
tucked under chin
where salty tears dried,
yesterday. 
Stuck to the corners 
of my eyes and 
down my neck, 
once puddled between breasts,
like a moat around my heart.  
How ridiculous!
This state of mind can be,
and how absurd the cocoon
that encapsulates me.  
You may visit 
but don't stay too long,
stealing my joy ... for now....

Of what shall it be told?
This midday dream,
That glides to place on hold;
And bodies forth its form like a stream

And yet in this film, the twelve obstacles
Could not hold
When in strength Hercules triumph
But not on a platter of gold

I see, and though through a glass
Thrilling scenes
That then make crass
Like two days between twins

Every hour encapsulates terror
But against all odds awoke I
Running to behold me in a mirror
Whether or not I did cry...

Caustic words 

Wounded is her core

Then twilight happens:

Diaphanous

 

The next day:

A lavender mist encapsulates atmosphere 

Oh the sea is so serene.

Like a minty aroma 

Embalms her soul

 

Acrid memories fade.

No longer is he a cynosure

But a  shadowy tale.

She stops cursing

her ill-fate and fills her lungs 

with vapor of the new day.

Afterall lost love is  transient.

New days are long lasting they happen 

day after day....

As my soul heart has a door that is closed;
Noise speaks loudness of per encapsulates;
My vessel contrite I am breathing bruise;
Broke heart open door that I may embrace;
Tears drops down my chin, my cheek, my whole face;
Breaths distorts ultimately---placated;
My arms and hands grasp holds implicated;
Opening and shutting of my heart strings;
Serrated set heart strung constipated;
As my soul heart has a door that is closed;
