Heavy night settles-
ochre sparks evanesce
mute as sinking ash....

snowflakes evanesce
blankets of snow cover limbs...
and warm frigid tree...

exceed eurekas
enrich elegant emo
eccentricities
evanesce empire egos

The thrill of her hand slipping into yours
     or her cheek searching out your neck

  That weakness in the back of the knees
     the lump in the throat that can't be suppressed

        ~ How did I let these memories evanesce...

Into the blue





dark clouds evanesce
as eyes stare into the blue
ecstasy shimmers ....

serene ocean depths
awaiting reconnaissance 
undulate their throbs ....

Keeling
   epode masts
       tilt horizon’s sun
          collecting crimson

               Her sails ablaze
                  make mauve
                     evanesce

Evanesce feelings
Befriend memories age
Remembered thoughts  abandoned,
As the faded  return

Far i've roamed
Destination near
Safe, secure 

Drifting through time
as so it seems,,
Never once forgetting to remember
The beauty of sight
Through child like eyes...

Dark clouds and blizzards
Echoes of silence surrounds
Crystalline water hanging from branches 
Evanesce my breath into frozen still air
Memories thaw inside spreading like warm molasses 
Buried deep inside glazed eyes
Ever present for me to pull out and see
Reminisce I do now on what warmth used to be...

Sizzling hot






Even a softer touch makes me sizzle,
and yearnings fume with a warm embrace,
Burning soul that can tranquillise no drizzle,
Flaming passion for an eternal holy grace,
Will never evanesce, not even a trace !!

Mystic Vision 





Until the inner sonorous cues 
reverberate to make believe the surreal,
As murmurous truth 
walks down in corridors
Once again to rest arcane,
to be unfolded ....

While its gorgeous radiance
dazzling white amidst darkness,
Makes all black evanesce,
unveils the thaumaturgic clouds,
to a soulful vision ....

Iron monsters
with bearded men astride,
stir a whirlwind
crashing past me howling warnings
then evanesce into silence.

A man dressed
like an angel
concludes by saying, "take care"
before sallying forth 
down the long cement block corrider.

I walk through the tunnel,
surrounded by multicolored tubes.
Figures in uniforms grow near then diminish
into vanishing point
entrances to new encounters....

The Lighthouse


Splash amidst plethora hullabaloo,
Dark skies reflecting illuminate,
Act beacons, vigilant navigators,
Mask lighthouse's glistening magnificence,
Guides marines, bewildered mystifying,
Roars rise , evanesce scintillation,
Deep ocean heritage disparages,
Waves erode abyssal operations !

No more though I pine, may I rip from breast and thought
This blind obedience to kind that claims all that is naught
What trance belies and thus survives divided from the whole
Ere natures heart must thus depart from customary roles
As fleeting breaths do evanesce in splintered harmony
Bids archeus farewell to dwell in brief obscurity
What balm may stem the march of time, what plea redeems the day
Who dares conspire and thus oppose the gyre of Sedens way...

Chit chattering so happily, in babyish first conversations,
Like treetop little birdies, sharing emerald observations,
Burbling giddily and gaily, as golden moments evanesce,
Tattling like garden beauty secrets, in the feverish press!

Jabbering enthusiastic jollity, in the success of noon sun,
Rumors of glad gibberish, as droning bees in gilt sudden,
Joyful, twittering chit-chat, at back fence of my gladness,
Gossiping with fascinated grandma, on a summer canvas....

Dust settles 

Vibrations loosen
the dust on my piano,
releasing tiny particles
into a rectangle sunbeam
dancing about the glass,
as I play compositions
on freeform keys,
fingered imagination
frantically moving
levers in never before
heard melodies
with a locked
sustain pedal
holding each note
to gradually evanesce
into the silence
awaiting your return
as the dust
once again
settles

what once burned hot on a spring night
dwindles, extinguished like a tallow's light
nothing to sustain, nothing to hold
as it all fades away into afterglow

what once held dreams in sleepless arms
a kiss of a lover with all of its charms
hangs heavy and weightless in a darkened room
the fragrance remaining from its musky perfume

what once played on a mountain breeze
a love song lilting through mesquite trees
evanesce gone like the lyrics sung
over too soon, never begun...

Half a sight in memory 
And half a day in past.
A southern, warming, golden wind
And cool green ice’s flash.

Your feet are light as angels
Your steps converse with wings.
A walk like thunder, twice as strong,
The rhythm ardor brings. 

Your laugh the work of summer
Your words the breath of spring. 
The Evanesce of melting ice,
The song that sunshine sings. 

Step carefully my love
Your feet the weight of light,
For its my heart on which you stand
And not the melting ice....
