Whimsy flowers
On the edge of sleep
Mirage-like echoes
Singing off key
Arias
Challenge
The closing curtain
Whispers
Hidden
In the dusk
Of dreams
Dance
In the vapory mist
Of sleep’s
Oasis.
Iridescent orb colored fuchsia
scintillating diamond drops encapsulate
my heart is locked within the orb
Oh my love, please accept it
my hands float within
the sapphire vapory dream
your face, your eyes I envisage
at this night before my sight
wizard face turns to his loving face
the witchcraft dream dissipates
moon goes to sleep but I am awake
tree limbs touching the moon's surface
glittering diamonds around the moon
my love and I whisper in a moonlit night.
A blind light crashes
through bar windows.
Since they began to talk
her breasts had moved
to a small apartment in his head.
The smoke from her cigarette
shaped words
into sensuous motes.
He imagines her lungs.
They are green-leaf not black.
Inside the bronchi and alveolar
sylph's teasingly beckon
out of a spongy foliage.
Votive clouds lather red lips.
Words flare dark clefts of desire.
Throats assume vapory feelers
inside a filtering breath.
He needs her addictively,
a blood craving
that seeks her as an inhalation.
There’s a strung-out intimacy
between them.
Eye’s smother, and blur
as they absorb each other.
Soon they will meet
upon an in-between world
where each visual breath
forms fumy erotic dreams.
A midday daze smolders
as they sightlessly
light another.

Meanwhile, a midday daze
permeates their smolder
as they sightlessly
light another.
In the eerie hours of dawn,
slumber envelops
and stillness speaks
It's resonance sweet .
The air slips in and out of rooms
like the vapory clouds
merging with the skies.
The marbled floors
palpably breathe
mystic sensations
heard by the inner self,
stirred by friendly
embers of stillness.
In the busy hours of
my mundane life
having traversed
half the span of life
I have never paused
to meet the
silent companion
inside me
and to hear
its soulful rhapsody
reverberated by the subtle
strings of stillness.
My heart, touched by the magic wand of the flowery fairy
Bloomed into a transparent and vapory bird
Seeking to break open the door of its cage
To feel life, to be immersed in its essence
To drown in its fantasy,
Fantasy which can be at times awakening
While at other times, soporific!
My heart, after having sipped the dew of its new dawn
Found the strength to break open its cage
And flew away, leaving me, in a most disorientated state
Why, without it, I no longer felt safe, I no longer felt warm
As I usually was with it, enlaced in between its steady beats!
Why, after having met with the alchemy of existence
My heart was free to morph into whatever it wanted
Of course, after having experienced life in all its forms
It chose to be human,
My heart, so innocent, now lived in the guise of femininity!
Pray, stubborn, I kept searching for it, found it
And lost it again times and again
But it would heed me not
My heart now had the sweet taste of freedom
In its mouth
Now, it was bent on jolting to life's fine-tuned
Symphonious ambience!
"Fire and Ice Love Duel"
fierce fire of love smoldered, melting chilled veins
frozen in tears from passion's masquerade game
a grieving heart shattered as glass windowpanes
ressurected by lovelight's intimate flame.
fire sparks lovers to trust words so gentle
as ice quells desires strong and sentimental.
elements contrast and hide deep affection
creates 'paradise' or blatant rejection.
*****
while embers glow softly, emotions renewed
scars from dark past wither into furnace heat
remnants of romance lost in feelings askewed
as tenderness begs to deny false repeat.
fire illuminates a wanton seared soul
for fire evokes magic moments to whole.
veniers of ice vanish in vapory mist
swallowed by love duel's eternal exist.

Carriage brought me here
wish to take me back
happy in my deafness
reveled freedom
Voices run in vapory mask
fade to fit statue
given behold
composed purity
Passionate sound
louder and louder
in each note
Silence surged
realms dropped
anger met
its own calm
Looked back twice
glimpsing face
dreamed talking to a friend
turned ashes of beloved
Pitched tune in yellow
mixed as its heard
purple and green
never recall black
may be some gray
as ever evade
till fingers numb
Audiences clapped
maestro’s hand gently touched
bow to life rejoiced
thunder in ears
