I wish for your glorious garden to wither, your tree to shudder and  fall in the forest. Your stars to hang limp upon the heavens, and your moon to turn to a sulphurous pond! I wish for your humour to sour in your mouth! And your thoughts to dwell in incoherent confusion, your keen logic to become a pile of rubble, and for happiness to elude you constantly.

OH! CURSES!
I remember nights Close with you. Safe in your arms, Your presence filling My consciousness. Your dreams running On the edges of mine, Filled with riches And contentment.

DAWN
Eons and eons have passed As swiftly as swirling mists Surround the ancient woods.

PASSAGE
You are My Summer solstice. My Winter’s Warmth and comfort In twilight, At the close of day. Far-off places Call and beckon, Through yearnings In your voice. Your eyes glow Of midnight embers, Your dreams Of spangled nights. Show me by day The weaver’s nest. The night’s embrace, Beneath Orion’s belt. I have longed for you. As the breeze strokes The wide Savannah, My violent yearnings Like a Summer storm, A burnished forest In a mellow Fall, A soaring eagle On a sturdy wing. So, have I longed for you!

SUMMER SOLSTICE
The sun is put to bed So that we can see, Through the opened window Into eternity.

The stars reflect Balmy nights In the eyes Of the lush Summer plum In your arms.

SUMMER
Beckon the swallows sweetly, With a voice filled with longings To the heavens of scented Spring.

SPRING
This love will end as any other... As the day ends when the sun is gone, As summer ends when swallows leave… It will end before I love you for ever.

ANY OTHER
You are the eagle Lifting my heart into Unexplored realms Of azure expanse. You are the wild wolf Howling my yearnings into the crisp frost Of twilight skies. A tiger in the shadows With the flame Of all my passions Burning in your eyes.
