Trapped in a cave
A blizzard howling outside

Channels within the windblown grass and contoured
shifting sand, stretch-probing as a spindle tree,
rouse echoing murmurs of the easeful sounds
of solitude, the slumberous sea, and me.
Entranced and mindful on this wild hypnotic shore,
Solitary maybe, and yet, alone no more....

Pan’s Frolicsome Guffaw

’Tis the eve of The Equinox.

Methinks I hear midst Boreas’ frozen rattlings,
an unsticking of great Pan’s frolicsome guffaw;
a cheering hint of his sweet pipe!

The warming sun doth his winter’s musings thaw,
his slumberous desire arousing.

His torpid chill’d soul methinks unbends
in vernal cabbage nigh, in newly trickled streams;

Finish’d then to be, his frosty
abjuration of sweet Syrinx!...

Should I speed my loving shafts, to see
them penetrate the blind periphery
of your happy unawareness,
Would you slam, with horror and with haste,
your portals of defence, with much distaste
at the wiles of such unfairness?

Or would those fragile barbs release sweet gall,
to rouse from slumberous state some answering call,
as one in sleep caressed -
Perfidious seeping of love’s wanton balm
to activate sweet turmoil in that calm
and brutal torpor in your breast....

Homecoming through furrows of snow
Absent is the dreariness of past days
Popping balloons to celebrate this event
Portents of laughter diminish long miles
Inclement is winter with its biting cold
Nobody seems annoyed on this snowy day
Exuberant spirits tune to a Christian Station
Simply stupefied by the wonderment around
Slumberous and white is the tamed landscape

wintry nuptial

forest of bridal dresses
dom perignon waterfalls
crystal cathedral

caves soothingly slumberous
doves kissing a crown
tracks of invites frosty prints

noon sun centerpiece
blessed observances natures
arrested outdoor spirits
