Periphery

Sideways looking- -
something strikes
my peripheral view.
In between the betwixt
- -twisted revery
my mind strolls through- -
just there
in the periphery it’s you,
striking brush strokes
across my mind- -making
a mark only infinite wisdom
leaves behind in distant galaxies
and unconditional love.

This Awakening

This Awakening

 rooster’s crow
assaults dawn’s solitude
shattering revery
red–purple- -
deep blue hues
leak through
the window
glow beginning
slow awakening
from dreams
dragging thoughts
- -dead weight
through a field
while falling
down a mountain
- -dragging thoughts
beyond
the star dust
in your eyes
warmth
in your arms- -body,
baby hold me
before I fall again
- -hold me- -explore
these depths, love
hides in there
                 pleading
                      hungry
the motions- -radiant,
warm currents flow
move in,
toss the bags anywhere
- -move in to me
- -electric needs
knows
want’s path leads beyond
the blue hue pooling
of desire- -feed
on honey kisses
my skin tingles
in this awakening
to star dust
in your eyes
