Orison

the stars
align
in celestial
matrimony
her eyes
twinkle
with the
light
of a
million moons
day
breaks
the heavens
impart
their wisdom
of
illumination
and
the stars
align
once
more

together

autumn's long, cool arm
rests gently o'er
your sun stained shoulder
kissing you
with hot breath
while hues of shy summers
dance in your
wake

Hindrances and Hindsight

I asked him twelve times to do it.

Then he died.

So I did it.

I should have done it all along.

Fissure

when you try
to
                         escape
through the cracks
    of an
empty space
your theme music
                dis-
                      si-
                           pates.

The Good Things

She said to him,
"The stars,
can you see them?"

He replied,
"I do."

She said to him,
"The ocean,
can you hear it?"

He replied,
"I can."

She said to him,
"My heart,
will you hold it?"

He replied,
"I will."

Penumbra

daylight
                              breaks
the king of kings
               sheds
his glimmering cape
and sets
     a crown of gold
atop his
opulent head

Asleep

the sun sets
in western whispers
astral sagas
spill
their wisdom
on the night's
canvas

and to the east
eternity
