grace poured into your soul
to cleanse, to heal, to forgive
Sun is hotter,
but moon is nearer.

Yellow-belted dress
in runny mirror?

Come naked night,
intent is clearer.

In the day air
you can hear her

bright beguiling verses;
after dark is dearer -

moon-mouthed poems
are sincerer.

I only write at night
The dark seems to illuminate
Thoughts not given the time of day
The girl I’m meant to be
Will be thanking me
For writing all this poetry
Never live or die
just disappear fly
too fast to splatter
too small to matter.
Either one
pain or pleasure
we treasure
each
for the memory.

Cry?
we could
or we could laugh,

emotions
just the rush of the ocean
that runs through us all.

to set the mind to wonder
a journey to the unknown
needs must be taken, again
With an old secret
I sank into her endless eyes
Pondering over laws
That effected such marvel
And leased me to madness
Words were melting in my mouth
She, refraining her turn of phrase
A tear rolled down my cheek
Stirring passion's tongue
A tear rolled down hers
Wielding my soul ablaze
I rejoiced in silence
Lest i betray my confidence
She handled my eyes
Spotting my inference
I could no longer bear
The fruits of my fear
I leaned over and touched
Her sculptured nails tenderly
Freeing my emotion
She smiled coyly
Sealing my devotion.
