Embrace the shadows
the sun has banished
darkness has swept in
monsters have risen
now,
it's time to feed the demons

Two opaque shadows.
Are baring their souls
Enter the fever heat.
As molten lava flows.
Desire is replete.

Shadows on the valley floor
Appear with the rising sun
Pine trees cling to the steep slopes
Over boulders a stream runs

Candlelight shadows and I
Witness your beauty anew

with long shadows she came
to participate in this game

Between a dream and a nightmare is a place without a name

A gathering of half baked shadows waiting for a shape to claim

In fiery halls where shadows play
A voice that echoes, bold and bray
Trump marches forth, come what may

Lurking in the dark shadows
More Leathal than poison

Lingerie Lies

Dressed in sex
Dripping night
Arched shadows
Licking light
Smeared silence
Succulent sighs
Framed flesh
Lingerie lies

Yaldabaoth embellished in his shadows

Caliginous eyes
Fearsome face of sickly white
Lion-headed snake
Embellished in his shadows  
With flaming orange beneath

As the heat subsided
A cool grayness crept in
Exhausted shadows slept
Limp leaves exhaled hope
Open windows inhaled it

Ode To Hilda Doolittle

Our men, frail from fruit, walk among hyacinth shadows
They crawl across marblewalk courtyards-
Mist in quivering sunlight
