We, basking naked,
Moonlit darkness enfolding,
Let Nature prevail....

last breath
thanking the plants and animals
that have sustained me
my ancestors I honor
and the spirit enfolding me...

The day to day today
A skein of yet again
Wrapped in thoughts of yester
As I contemplate the rester
And cuddle in to dream
As hidden feelings fester
To stretch this binding tether
As we face it all together
Hugging and holding
Enjoying the enfolding...

Tears of joy
Ran down her face
As she held her baby boy
In a tender embrace
Enfolding him with loving care
This moment wasn't one to share
A precious time to get to know
And teach this heaven-sent newborn
How to grow,
Into a strong and loving boy
Who made his Mother shed tears of joy...

     At the tail-end of a drawn-out day, I feel 
  the gentle arms of Morpheus enfolding me.
                    I have not one but two 
         soft cheeks to kiss goodnight, first,
             my sleepy doe-eyed baby, then...
 the big one clutching the little; my better half.

Ah! So soft it speaks in its gentle din
Enfolding gratitude in our hearts
To be mindfully given for peace doth impart
The beauteous wonder of nature therein

Empty cold branch fingers
Reaching out in all directions
Through the quiet skies
Gray and heavy smoldering
Whisping skyward from chimneys
Through the windows frost child eyes
Spy the first snowfall softly
Drifting about heedlessly
White velvet landscaped covering
As December settles down
Enfolding the night
In her tranquility...

And that I delight in 
Shall be mine tonight 
Yes 
Tonight
With your lips over mine 
Sharing in the bloom of our unity 
The thing that makes us content
Tonight
Driven to achieve 
My beloved I am melting here 
In your arms 
Tonight
Blushed and parched 
Withering in your kiss 
Looking though those eyes
Tonight  
Enfolding that speaks 
With silence...

Heat enfolding around
Warmth continually surround
Pleasure taken from cold

Basking at my leisure
Encompassing treasure
Moisture licking foretold

From ankle to thigh you travel
As my body does unravel
From this flame you share

Caressing my neck you taste
Embroiling with your lack of haste
As you pet my skin

Fresh towel 
out of the dryer behold...

There we lingered, without moving,

enfolding the timeless questions of the universe with quiet words...

Queried sounds filled the night, we were mesmerized by mysteries of the moon

2 stars were only 2 million years from all the answers

SLEEP

Sleep overwhelms me
Lover-like with soft hands
Unseen face in the darkness of bedroom
Brushing my eyes with
Heavy drugged perfume 
She makes leaden my limbs
I cannot  -  do not want to  --
Resist her embrace
Wave  upon wave of silent kisses
Hold me down on the pillow
Till I surrender to her
Perfume  of dreams intoxicating
And  my head swims
In an enfolding surge of
Tiredness and lack of will...

Much Passion aroused
Young Love overwhelming
         
Vibrant Hearts entwined,
Able Bodies contorting
Loves Rhythmic motions
Earthy Heat rising
Now Lips compelling
Two Hands roaming
In Arms enfolding,
Nubile Legs extending
Eyes Imploring
        
Loving Tongues exploring
Affection abounding
Deep searching as their
Youthful Hearts catch fire

I walked in the morning dawn on a lake rimmed path,
When I encountered a light of brilliance unsurpassed,
My knees bend and I fall, grasping a cloth of mystery
Silken, enfolding all of me.

I raise my bowing head to see 
Eyes of love, so deep, piercing through me, and
An outstretched strong workman’s hand,
Bid me rise and follow this man.

I am filled with Him, and give Him myself.
My Savior...

They  sway amongst the clouds and azure skies
majestic giants
enfolding my spirit in the webs they hold

I feel the utter strength they posess
as energies are drawn up up up through the core
into tender branches that touch the skies

my child climbs onto the back of one of the giants
held in an embrace
that is both awesome and serene
while she
overlooks the paths the little
ants take
far below....

The dark skirts of the night rise up,
dawn's ankles appear as pale as pearls.
Some have spoken of the Goddess,
hailed the coming of Her light.

Sometimes,
as the sun crests a yet unseen horizon
I feel her enfolding arms - sense
the perfume of Her early flowering.

Other's toss and turn fretfully,
but those who invite Her in
fall in love,
they lay still and self-empty,
allow Her
Her next moves....

My woman’s spirited disposition
casts dreamy masculine awakenings
which offer delightful fascination---
her laughter  bestowing iridescence.
Through cycles’ darkening consequences
she provides warmhearted sanctuary—
a  lighthouse enfolding disturbances
through graceful affection, eternally.

TITLED
The crown that rests upon your head 
a perfect fit with a circle of gold ...
your wealth untold

A regal stature ..you present ..upon the throne
that you ascend ...sweet nature covers this royal
birth ...sternest exchanged for joy and mirth ...

Cloak trimmed with sable fur ...soft velvet completes
the royal gown....softly fitting on your figure 
 enfolding your ego like a  wanton child

Are we like pebbles on the bed
of a great lake when we are dead,
with fate that chose to give us breath
skimming us forward towards death,
gives our momentums skip and flight
in times sequence of day and night .

Propelling onwards, fading rings
marking the surface as each wings,
routing a common destined role ,
do nephesh, jiva, atma, soul,
sink into dark enfolding deep,
cold stone eternally to sleep ?...

My love awakens me
with playful purrs,
with kitty licks 
and padded paws -- 

we are never far
from our primitives, 

to know the world by
touch, and God through 
tactile mystery, replicating
senses till soaring -- 

Oh, one can philosophize
and theologize!
or one can cling to the
moment~ lips diving,
arms like vulture wings
enfolding, love’s cooing
triggering a salivating, primal 
response – Coffee can wait!...

the warmth in the eyes
is how the mountain outlines
left in me, unspoken 

by sunsets
by the ghosts of what never happened
the echoes measured the distance 

still not having found a form, they wander
just like you and me
through our valleys 

the saddened silence in me
I'll enshrine as an aftertaste
of the grape sun 

look at who you are now, sweetheart
desperately enfolding me
with the warmth of the land of the Upper Rhine...

A brush of leg
mirroring mine
spaced delicious


Dust tumbles in air
playing kaleidoscope
to light,
laying transfixed
in scents 
of jasmine and hyacinth
enfolding senses
to serenity,
and in the moonlight
as the Grey gum
castes her shadow 
supreme


Struck
in Marbled rays
sprung from noon
to moon,
becoming 
a tableaux of
lust,
etched indelibly
into the stone 
of my soul



Gazing into
microscopic dust,


I sigh...

The skies unfolded


Mist that clouds the air we breathe
 within the skies withholding
 and myriads folds enfolding

 Endeavors reached for
 light within forever now’s
 quiet stillness accepts anew
 truths unwoven through veils unsealing

 Breath its essence sheds 
 through anxious times its fleeting 
 in pounding waves receding

 Evening descends in cooling breeze
 day of night illuminates
 in forward paths of life we face
 the paths that living makes...
