Lost in confusion,
distracted by tomorrow
anxiety his lover
—memory undreamed

You know it’s the end
when shadows abandon

Memory fades
as light is recalled

No longer master, 
 time is imploding

Wishes undreamed
—then nothing at all

(The New Room: April, 2021)...

I’m willing to accept
that it’s all but a cloud
Memory behind me,
and draped in a shroud

I’m willing to accept
my fatality deemed
A portal indentured
—to dreams left undreamed

In deepest memory
my mind escapes
to places yet journeyed
undreamed they await

In deepest memory
the future untold
awaiting unbeckoned 
—the next bell to toll

Changing with each season,
voices come and go 
what’s lost undreamed, ourselves demeaned,
in search of the unknown

Naked and left wanting,
fortune sires myth
impregnating its mystery
—with tales of the abyss

The snow is falling down,
the wind blows as I stand to bury my true love;
in tears drown.

Empty inside,
oh, my true love is gone above;
he died.

I cry,
an undreamed of,
why.

The snow is falling down,
oh, my true love is gone above;
why....

love drips 
from frozen trees
sun warmed eaves
redeemed
droplets drift
undreamed
to wet my lips
pristine
from old men’s mouths
and tongues
aqueous 
their seasons sung
wet with
babies dew
from mothers’  breast
we spew
in fragments
evaporate again
to the air of love
but when...

October (a bad case of timing)


A bad case of timing
coffee and sleep
pills and nightmares
from the deep

And drowning in my head,
the watermark
a tide of dreams undreamed
lost in the wash
of a shadow silent sea

As morning rises
the dreams that sunk
resurface in golden lines
moving towards me

And back, below the watermark I go
just another bad case of timing...

In the depths of the abstruse pages 
A quill transcribes fathomless thought
Feathered ideas guilelessly tethered to
Existence with a black ink onslaught

The same plume that once lifted its own maker 
To heights undreamed of on the ground
Disembogues reflections of speculations 
On white pages that are now confound

A blank slate now full of words
From those who have come before
leaves us to cipher fact from fiction
At the confluence of winged lure...

DREAMS OF THE DEATH OF LOVE

When a dream meets reality does love die?
When I dream of your caress I fly
 Through the night so far above,
Pleasures undreamed of     
Found in your
Love.
Nevermore
To kiss my sweet dove,
Gone the Laughter I belove.
Cold earth blankets your silent goodbye.
	When a dream meets reality does love die?

There have been many pleasantries
As a moppet over the years:
The countless summer night breezes
That whistled music in my ears;
Or lay supine and gaze above
At the moonlit star studded sky
And conceive my dreams undreamed of
As they emerged before my eyes.
But gone are those childish whimsies
Those were born of the wind and stars.
Gone are the musical breezes
That once filled those nights… au revoir!
Gone is that place where I once reigned
Yet in my heart it still remains....

Close your eyes, and start to hear
Upon a moon-lit night
My words of love, whispered near
Through darkness to first light

Feel my arms surround you there
My breath upon your skin
To fill you full of loving care
And take you once again

Walk the dreams that we both share
Embraced by perfect love
Let's leave the world and walk on air
To a paradise undreamed of

I am always with you everywhere
My soul is part of your own
This love we know so very rare
The knower and the known...
