The Resonance
In blue,
starry night.
Who was ephemeral ?
The shifting sand ?
*
The evil,
in turbulent waters,
outlives-
the flames.
*
Charred,
earthscape.
It was becoming an art.
You have countless abstracts.

Cause
Start with love deep that grounds you each day
Thrill dreamy sleep with myriad stay
Dare to weep in dying play
Surge of joy outlives gall
Etch dull ploy that calls
Live pain and all
Sense beauty
Set free
Be

Echo
Echo is a horse on gravel
muted and resounding
like God stepped sostenuto
e una corda
Hooves bouncing off and on
like a baby in
the crib
that outlives him
rattle. Break.
Slowly rock your empty belly
asleep. A percussive mantra rings
echo. echo. hollow...

A Time For Dancing
The dance goes on; and every generation
Imposes measured steps and calls fast time.
I would sit this one out, but for the few
Opportunities for joining hands.
My awkward feet remember dated songs
And struggle with the strains of obsolescence.
The dance goes on and is oblivious
To slower time when need outlives a style....

Fragments 9
FRAGMENTS 9
Feel thus the strange feelings
That impinge upon slippery slides
On slopes of sensorial rush
Moving here and there
But unknown in the flux and reflux
Of uncertain certainty
As even mere paradox outlives
Fragile mortality in-transit
As mortal death embraces dying

Joy
Words cannot go where joy finds space,
Feel knows a glow in simple grace.
Words try yet fail to tell of smiles,
Feel you avail in poise that styles.
Words speak of thought yet fail to bridge,
Feel outlives plot to breeze the ridge.
Words cannot stay where impulse flings,
Feel outgrows say to live fond spring.

Garnet Star
O! Garnet star, what hydra-like,
Immortality
How humanity doth envy,
Thou vitality
What sayest thou of Man?
(Surely he would say)
O - but lowly Mayfly,
That flutter for a day
What thinkest thou of Time?
(Surely he would think)
A torrent inexhaustible,
I forever drink
Lo, but I know a thing,
Surpassing thou by far:
Eternal life in Christ,
Outlives thou, garnet star!...

Interlude of Solitude
Self instructs, subject of own inspection
Sole idle suffuses our organic
Implicit say overcomes suggestion
Ideal sanctity outlives semantics
Isolated in single origin
Slaughters overt outside influences
Ordaining serene inspires sovereign

Fashion
It's retro! It's vintage! It's modern, its sleek!
It's trendy! It's stylish! It's posh and its chic!
It evolves, it survives, it outlives and excels,
It dictates, it promotes, it invents and propels.
It climbs up, it rolls back, spins fast then slows down
It changes, rotates but never leaves town.
It turns heads, it drops jaws in its mighty old fashion!
It's designed to a tee to ignite our passion!...

Craft
Word art can craft
A telling draft
Let wordplay fling
Such lovely things
See that you see
What joy may be
Be one in-sync
As feel oomphs think
Verse set in rhyme
Can anchor chimes
Forge each feel well
In touching tell
Words can say more
In sublime shores
The match you catch
Outlives mere stretch
In feisty draft
Sense sacred craft

To Death
To Death… A toast in tainted wine
Let glasses ring its somber chime
As shadows cast its name in black
To Death we walk… with no path back
To Death… whose fame has spanned the ages
Only love has penned more pages
Only time outlives its quill
To Death … To Death ‘till all is still
To Death… and to its secret kept
While all that live have stood and wept
To Death… and to its final kiss
I give a life… that I shall miss...

Joy
Watch how joy comes
As bliss now sums
Look to the way
Peace funds this day
Let happy touch
Bring ever much
Seize the clear gist
Beyond mere list
Fear strangles calm
As vile thoughts balm
Heed the odd feel
As pain moves will
Cast thus the choice
That flavours poise
Love outlives charm
In loving arms
Prize your fond play
That streams each day

On the Edge of Forever
The shores of time
are at our feet
The sea of eternity
we've come to meet
What we'll find
Is beyond our grasp,
If only to have
A lover's hand to clasp
To wade together
Under the moon's sweet light
To have one to say "Good Night"
Where a mere touch outlives
wild ecstacy
Where in the world,
There is but you and me
To walk these shores
Till time grows slow
Always aware that you know
We are as one,
Always will be,
Past the drying of this ancient sea....

Psshhh
Her maybeline tears saltier than the oceans...peaked in glamour waves and emotions ...
I have never seen the heart of love until i gazed into her eyes
Feverishly connected but hidden in a maze of disguise
I call her name but in return only silence caught the waves
The energy of love immortal inexplicably outlives the grave
Eyes as blue as the waters of patagonia and golden locs like sunshine rays
Mesmerizing beauty i'd pay the reaper his due cost to be With her just one more day...
