whispers of moondust
lightly sprinkled
in young sleepy eyes

There was some moondust
     making the valentine live.
         Strengthened by sun rays.

    "Draped in Moondust"




fragrant flowers fade
'neath starry moonlight
was love as fragile?

Moondust descends upon their stage-
                         where two lovers dance and never age.

You cannot break
What was made in the stars

This I knew

Moondust too

That we have a choice

We can leave this place

Listen to the inner voice

Find the way

To stars

To magic

To nature

Most of all

Love...

Moondust drizzled in mystique night,
its stellar meadow sparkled above
with crystal eyes of the blooming stars, 
twinkling dreams thus designed
for our love to serenade in night garden,
with the symphony of silver moonshine....

Faerie dust is finer than stardust
Glitzier than rainbow sprinkles
More joyful than moondust

I never knew until tonight
But here she is, being poured out
By a gorgeous night faerie

I am amazed and enthralled
Enraptured by her prettiness
Faerie dust enhances my dreams...

the stunning ruby leaf dances in 
autumn’s marvel; green turns to gold-
blazed embers release comfort,
under moonlit cool breeze;
craving silent stars
as moondust falls-
delicate
crimson
breath

My Aquila
Rested against a tree
With a little magic
and a little wine
We snuggled down
And I made him mine


Together we dreamt
Of Moondust trails
The way west
To find our place
Amongst the trees
Our nest
 

It is soon
I feel it within
We have come so far
We are near
To the place
Of The Rising Moon...

Listen to poem:

on angel wings at night transported
beyond this earthly realm

across a galaxy of voids and stars
moondust ripples undulate
from here onto infinity

sweet dreams
my love

sweet dreams

many years have passed
since I told you
I wanted the moon
since you promised 
you would give it
perhaps you were
busy with other things
maybe jumping
from saturn to neptune
or riding the milky way
now you kneel before me
offering your hands
full of moondust
but it seems as though
my heart forgot
as if my love is
sick with alzheimers...

Capped with soft golden hair
Her blue eyes opened
She smiled
At once
She knew I was there

 
I reached for her tiny hand
She gripped my finger
With fierce intensity
I kissed her forehead
I knew
I loved her completely

 
The girl child
Of Moondust and I
Born in summer
She cradled her
To her breast
As we looked out
And saw in to her eyes
Of sunsets
And eagles flying in the west...

Listen to poem:

his words
one by one
picked and plucked
out of thin air

bewitching the muse
giddy with moondust
saunters and meanders
one moonbeam to the next

from heaven's gate
to his gentle pen
love songs in the night
bare the poet's soul

When
jade Specks
of desire
carved a raven
calamitous shape
of coal-crescent, 
losing the
last soil
once

My
lilac
heart of rouge
runes, shimmered in
galaxy, lathered
with embers of
laced life for
soul of
thou

I
float in
rose quartz haze
befogged upon
starlit symphony's
hymnal moondust,
strolling in
perfumed
'You'.

I got you the moon
Next I’ll get you 
Every star above

Whatever you need
Whatever you want
To make you well again

I believe in the magic
Of nighttime glitter
I know there’s a cure
In the sprinkles of moondust

The stars above hold powers
A most precious antidote
Revealing healing secrets
Most sacred of white magic

A winter passed
Quiet and still
A spring came
Leaves grew fast
The good earth
Became green at last

 
With the dawn
In early summer
In an emerging pink sky
A girl was born
To Moondust
Her first cry

 
The birds  sang high in the blue
The word was passed
All of magic knew
Of Moondusts’ faerie child
Aquilas’ joy

 
Faeries came to see
The Moondust queen
That in summer
A girl was born
In our room
Filled with light
Love
Magic
Such joy was seen...

As shadows meld into darkness, 
The stars come out to play, 
To dispel the inky starkness, 
The full moon sheds its ray;

A lone wolf howls in restlessness, 
An owl hoots far away, 
Nature slumbers in listlessness, 
As trees droop in dismay;

It's surely a beautiful night, 
Peaceful and lulling me, 
Stardust and moondust set alight
My dreams as shadows flee.

In the blink of an eye 

Faerie flight

Moondust took me back

Across the night

To our fire in the forest of richest green

 

I knew the meanings

In my heart it lay

Starry trails

Burst forth

I knew the way

 

In dreams too

Waters flowed

Waters that swirled

It was time

To journey through

To the dark blue world

 

I carry with me

My tower of light

Burning bright

Burning star

For all to see

I have conquered the night...

Violence lingers in your eyes.
No wonder you can't sleep, 
Soundly through the night.
Not will all the waste still floating in the sky.

A deadly chemical, when ignited.
A Super Nova on steroids.
Explosive and temperamental. 
Don't get too excited, 
Or you'll turn into a deadly weapon.
Still fixated on the darkest of nights.
Forgetting is easier said than done.

There's a flicker of light behind your eyes.
Let it burn bright.
Don't hold back,
The passion that thrives....

In the garden bed falls moondust.
Rose lust - tall and fluorescent.
Lullaby scent, rapt and florid.
Deep scent - torrid, quiescent.
