Faces were coming and going
In places
That were once always
Hard to find.

But now they fold
Within light
Upon the prisms
Of my eyes.....

'Hello faces
Fellow faces
Mellow traces
Of disguise
Your eyes
I see
Glow
From the skies'.....

Autumn hair
And summer skin

I see their light
Turn to gold
As I breathe in
Their perfumes
From the air.

Lovers eyes
And lips
Are melting
In sun
As they turn
Only once more
To burn
Lifting
The oceans
Of my heart; undone,
Sending
Ecstatic
Waves
That signal
Across
My brain.....
