Ladies wearing white
Hemlock sips Earth’s cool flowing
Hear happy birdsong

Bleeding into Dreams

Sunrise glows fire
on the wall
bleeding into dreams
less forsaken
than his heart
he stirs- -stretches- –
groans at the start
of another day- -empty
void of her smile- –
touch as tender
as any unconditional love
could be- -wildflower hair,
sun-kissed skin, soft
eyes devouring his soul,
cotton candy in his mouth- –
her lips tempting, he savored- –
etching indelibly in his memory

A tear catching sun sparks
on his face lures his mind- –
reeling- -alone- -lonely, his body aches
back on the bed her ghost
bleeds into dreams
less forsaken than his heart.

Energy Flows

An ending
                beginning- –
dandelion seeds take flight
on the breeze- -scatter
I view them sideways- -hoping
to catch one without trying.
Mind’s shutter clicks- –
silent echo in gray matter.
Seeds drift onward,
inward- -landing
on a grassy knoll
behind the eyes, pregnant
– -flailing- –
loving wind’s caress,
butterflies dance on thoughts
with neurons exploding.
Lightning strikes.
Energy flows a deluge
                                       freely- –
synthesis in a trickle
toward the heart.- -Soul
drinks in summer tears
– -sighs- -smiles crystallize
creating a memory book
of cherished imprints
for recollection
near the end.

My Soul

Recoiling
against the cold
I am a baby
absorbing
the warmth of you.

Instinctively
my fingers
take you.
My soul- -you hold
in your being.

You
    are
      my
        soul.

Heart Exposed

Expose
my heart
render
it still- –
moonlight
playing
across
deep green
forest.
Your eyes
sparkle
eager- –
fervor
diver- -diving
              for my
              soul’s core.
              Hunger’s
              power
              surging- –
              my blood
              burns- -race
              my heart
              on this
              firebox
              threshold.
              I beg- –
              urging
              our lips
              converge,
              devour- -requite
                               our needs.
                               Moonlight’s
                               promise
                               carried
                               upon
                               our skin
                               and its
                               liquid
                               silver
                               sparkle- –
                               within
                               your eyes.- –
                               You have
                               my heart
                               exposed.
