#transfixed
3:00am
———
roused from deep sleep dreaming;
wander to the deep dark of the sunless
sunroom where I write^dream while wide awake,
provoked, for the first two poems
that I stumble upon address the sea,
while the water’s edge so near to me,
and yet, the silence of the black night,
goes undisturbed by the water’s wave-theology,
and when daylight forms, to shore I will go to worship
to shore me up with its seductive pattens,
the soothing rock ‘n rolling of its quiet awe,
it too, barely disturbs the atmospheric environs
but transformed and transfixed, ponder deep
this ancient spot where brackish river water
flows into the Great Atlantic, my spirit carried with it
and returned to me in hours by the moon’s tidal
gravity, a voyager of a few hours, but always,
transformed and transfixed

Up so high,
with a
BEAUTIFUL GLOW,
Casting down your
MOONBEAMS
right down below.
I stare into the MOON 🌕,
as I am TRANSFIXED,
It SHINES DOWN LOW,
the MOONLIGHTS RAVISHING
GLOW,
It FEELS so MAGICAL,
I cannot help but to GLANCE,
at the MOON 🌕, over the LAGOON,
while I am in a DEEP TRANCE.
It is such a COOL, CRISP, and
MAGNIFICENT NIGHT,
as I VIEW, and ADMIRE,
THE CAPTIVATING
MOONLIGHT!!!

Chase away what I feel
The taste has remained so long
Unsteady are my hands
As the light brings another dawn
What were once picturesque colors
Seems shutter into a dismal display
As darkness wedges into the void
My own shadow lights my way
When an existential plague begins to ensue
So does my heartbreak as I return to you
For heart wrenching as it is quieting my mind
The drone of another day is that which I cannot survive
For breathless I become when pressed to my lips
Slowly the cold is traded for the warm abyss
And though try as I might I cannot gain control
Drawing ever nearer till it has taken hold
And while others shutter at the thought of what takes place
I only begin to rest my weary head upon its solitary state

I stood in awe of this being
Who commanded my heart
Took hold of my attention
And worked my mind
Like a master puppeteer...

In the quickened breeze,
My mind slips with ease
To a place of long ago,
Where little girls pranced
In a mystical dance
And stardust sprinkled like snow.
Little boys rushed to see
With what beauty and ease
Of grace that did keep them a-daze,
But none was the wiser
When the dance of Delilah
Sent their minds through a mystical maze.
To the spectators' delight
as she danced through the night
unaware of what spell she had cast,
Transfixed with a smile
They dazed all the while
As times' future had soon become past.
And hundred years of fixation
And a fine lad's dedication
To dance with his heart's delight,
Was now set at ease
As he bent to his knees
To kiss the hand of his dream goodnight.
His pulse beat slowly
And his heart felt lowly
Though this moment he knew soon had to end.
Would this dream have to cease?
Did his imagination increase
Just to allow his yearning heart to mend?
The mystery ends as it did begin
As I reflect on days then
Of a lad who danced with his love.
Like the leaves of trees
Dancing in the breeze
A silhouette in shadow to see,
The dance of Delilah and He.

Transfixed
A burning soul in the pale
A goal that howls
A voice saying don't fail
Intoxicated
By the flame inside
By my obsession
By my desire

you're asleep
and i'm staring at you
i'm so transfixed, too spellbound
i touched you with my eyes
from the tips of your hair
to your arm wrapped around me
then i go back to your face again
and i realized that
conscious or not
you still mesmerize me
you still enchant me
