The Cover Of Another

Betwixt the cover of another
pages glide to tempt and turn
secrets held and words reveled
dispel the shadow-ed burn
Spread like ink conveying
saying more, speech acquiesce
heart and soul are reacquainting
painting portraits nonetheless
Pen to paper labor
on this lettered love to strike
remission of the telling of
these thoughts our heart's ignite
Imagination calling
falling deeper with each turn
betwixt the cover of another
til we meet again, adjourn

Ponder

Sat upon the midday sun

these rays ignite the skin

from earth to earth and dust to dust

we came and go again

Lost in all creation

ponder ours and wonder still

the purpose for our being 

seeing more than choosing will

All around us breathing

life abounds with treasures find

made in perfect harmony

each limb and leaf remind

Wind about my face replace

as cares and fears retract

rays of sun ignite the skin

from earth to dust and back

In Fiery Crimson Cast

Purple shades of night ignite
in fiery crimson cast
played on love's horizon
improvise while rolling past
Here en-wrapped in midnight
cuddled soft in dream's embrace
purple shades of night invite
her glimmered love to grace
Sparkling skin and velvet eyes
do in mine closed replace
watching calm the breaking of
the waves upon your face
Sands of love outstretched
across a blanket sea delight
clouds to dance as thoughts romance
these purple-d shades of night

Silhouettes and Dreams

Clothes and lights are shedding
silhouetting what remains
looking through the looking glass
do all your colors change
Softer hue of devil's due
come play so gently here
words converge on tempting urge
with breath on bend-ed ear
Hearts remorse to run it's course
no here's where pleasures breed
somewhere in the middle of
too much and what we need
Clothes and lights are shedding
inhibition falls like rain
hearts upon the looking glass
where silhouettes remain

Mark On Life To Leave

Circling out and cycling in
again comes death's reprieve
thoughts implore and beckon for
a mark on life to leave
For life in all it's cunning
stunning short and running out
to taste in all it's glory
storied love we've heard about
Time does flutter sharp impart
and cuts as hearts deceive
the soul is storing pages
of the words we'd hoped to leave
Turning through as thoughts review
and sentences concede
cycling in and circling out
again comes death's reprieve

Fire and Furies Feed

Pages turned in revelation
complication, words recede
chapters once imagined gone
to fire and furies feed
Words once stinging strikes of form
on sharp and jaded white
quick removed as faded hues
take place of thought, re-write
Stunning revelations
find themselves on self reflection
chapter-ed time in loving spines
confined in dereliction
Thoughts removed or changing
rearranging plots that twist
words have lost their meaning
seeming now the point is missed
Pages turned in revelation
complication, words recede
chapters once imagined gone
to fire and furies feed

Breath On Shadowed Night

Breath upon the shadowed night
ignite on skin to burn
raising love, awareness of
those things you long to learn
Ragged quick and gasping
rasping fast as truths replace
all the questions of the mind
now lined upon your face
In place now desperation
or elation so it seems
giving up and letting go
as waters flow like dreams
Lost in our translation
words and lips are biting back
coming quick adjoining souls
eclipsing time retract
Lost upon the moment
fiery hearts did skin ignite
raising love, awareness of
your breath on shadowed night
