When I look into your eyes
I see the stirrings of spring
I feel all the imaginings
Of my soul
Incredibly unfolding...

loves imaginings
call forth art; colour the dark
passion of shadow
with silver dust and fireflies
that flicker the lustred moon

sleeping deep as night
and dreaming up to the stars
such midnight colors

burnt orange and creams
vividness imaginings
under red, red mars

burgundies and golds
converge on the pinks and blues
soon sweet sunshine blooms...

In the Realm of Silver Linings 
I am poor;

each dark cloud ignores
the bright light

that breaks a long dark night
of sorrow 

for the time 
of childish imaginings 

and the world that waits 
beyond the shadows.

She Lay Down
with fantasies; 
a warm surf ebbs inward.
His fullness fills her.

That night, more imaginings,
a magnetic need becomes 
images, visions incarnate.

The morning finds her
washing her face,
watching the mirror blush....

Lights came on; dreams started to roam.
Floating along beside an unknown gnome.
Miserable heartaches shed.
Hurtful imaginings fled,
She woke up while her body stayed home.

Usha:pleasure is mine.
You,one thousand times,
more divine,than
imaginings invoke.

Your words with one stroke,
conjure flesh,bound in books,
moon amongst stars,
you are.

Usha: sublime.
Imagine this, 
a tender kiss,
I do, with you!...

elusive ethereal energy evades each extra entity

frivolously frolicking, fearlessly, forever flirty 

gratefully gleaning gentle grievers’ gratitude

happy heavenly hopper hastens home 

impulsive imaginings, intriguing, interested idealists...

I drift through the eternities
on the translucent wings of imagination
that form in the mind's body of silence
where I abandon the world
and fall into the flowing stream
that moves through my soul of wonder

wild things dance in my head 

wild things
dark imaginings
0 dark hundred
they come out  to play
to torture me
with their endless games
monsters from the deepest depths of hell
they surround me
taunt me, mock me
until at last
the dawn’s early light
and my wife’s love
dispatches them 
back to hell...

               imaginings:

This is someone else's dream
 I didn't plan it.
The ocean flow of ebbs and tides
 called to me in childhood
when dreams were just imaginings
 of what could be
 but would never be.
Where are the stars
 the full moon, the light, the sun
 the love born in twilight?
This is not my dream
 if it were
 where are you?...

Vivid sketches,
a parade
of resemblances,
canvas afloat
before my eyes:
expressionist
impressionist
abstractions
locked forever
in time:
the familiar,
the muddled or
befuddled
inventive
imaginings
before me file,
to stay awhile
and truncate my day:
I contemplate
and marvel
the many things
to me they say...

In the shadows that fall
 the figure begins to disappear
at first, I thought it was you
 returning at last, to my side
but it was illusive delusions
 the lie within my eyes
 the imaginings of my mind
and after all this time
 I accept it, reluctantly
knowing within my heart
 you will not return again
and here,
 I will walk no more....

Beneath the stars and galaxies 
The moon, that’s split in half
I fall astray in the cosmos of you
Placing my heart once again
In everything that I once believed in 
Hopelessly. Helplessly. Passionately
Relentless imaginings of a love so wide
A reminder of what I know to be soft and pure
Organic, yet electric 
Dreams of a hopeless romantic...

Speak of it not,
think of it not,
lest regrets may 
cloud the failing light,
and weariness
a shroud becomes.
This little thing,
once proud in love and lust,
now hides its face
and soon it will be dust.
Gone is the lustre
and delight
of fond imaginings,
as shadows deepening 
enfold what once
seemed ever bright,
impervious to
encroaching night....

My mind, it wanders to and fro
It never seems quite still
With all of its imaginings
It’s you that gives it thrill

It thinks of you, my glasses steam
Then engines run high speed
Because the very thought of you
Increases every need

So if you feel my mind’s not there
When conversation’s lacking
It isn’t that. You’re on my mind
With dreams of me attacking  heh heh heh...

I see you in my thoughts and dreams
all my intimate imaginings
of our bodies intertwined
your very soul invading mine
I feel your hands upon my skin
the sweat between us is so thin
I try to shake these dreams away
but you enchant my mind each day
a tempting tryst comes to my dreams
all my private intimate imaginings
of our bodies wrapped around each other
imagining you as my lover...
