Half Moon high above
After a red setting Sun
A jasmine odor waifs....

Wild 
sea cry
tsunami
wave of sorrow
in response to the harrowing exit
of a human lantern who cast spells on 
ghetto street waifs
homeward bound
in her 
wings

Flowers flourish flavoring the field,
wild waifs that wave and whirl and whip
beneath the wind's wanton waltzing ways.
Bucolic bees buzz blooms and sip
sweet sage, sacramental savorings.
A halcyon habitat, a happy home,
for blessing birds and bees and blossoms,
majestic, magical May meadowland, my own.

MOTHS ON THE WINDOW PANE

Like abandoned waifs
Their faces  at the window pane:
Big eyes and flapless wings
All pale and colorless 
Out in the dark night,
Silent witnesses
Staring into my life
Listening impassively
As you quietly explained -
You had met 
A new face and wanted
To be
Free
To be
With him and
You were leaving me -
My heart was crushed
And throat was choked
As I stared out
Into  the silent blackness,
All pale and colorless
With flapless wings
Abandoned....

Your nakedness in the morning light, 
Surrounds the JOY I received last night. 

Together we watched the glow of the Moon, 
Knowing this moment would end to soon. 

Sinful Shadows of my Lustful greed,
YOUR Forever Love: what I want and need. 

The sweet fragrance of Your Innocence, 
Waifs through the grieving of forgotten sense. 

Forever and Always, through all these years : 
Our tale of Love, and sex, and all its Fears.

WOW..For My EVE.. "  BARBARA JEAN "...
