"sunfire" poems
~
*I cast my net
into the tributary
and release into you, a seasonal swim,
I give to you a mother's color,
as you recite
infant hymns,
you're a bleeder
on the days sunfire meters out its origin,
you're my river
free and clear from the grip
of anchorage,
my river,
drifted on to wherever
moon wishes glister*

places
whisper thoughts
memories
time
escapes
into you
i know
the secrets
that lie
deep
but find it
hard
to track them down
hold them
in my hands
we search
through time
but find that
we are timeless
we wait for
existence
to enrapture us
the shades of light
twist
in and out of dark
moments
scramble
towards an understanding
coded to follow us
sunfire
burns
my soul
heats us
we melt into another
defined by
what we can only be
dust circles us
shadowing
the truth
we hide
in black
never to surface

my lady is crowned with flowers of saffron
and sunfire gleaming she honeycombs through her hair;
her eyes are rain-streaked as silver-stirred seas
and she holds grace and the depth
of an ivory-blushed wild rose's many petals:
mellifluous fanciulla della mar,
what magic she has, how strange she is still to me!

If you were a flower
I'd drown you in water,
burn you after you died,
and keep the ashes under
my mattress,
then craft a poem
out of your roots,
and toss your soil
into a lake.

Winters folly does in spring create
in essences a dire, wily fool
who, speaking truth- a noble trait-
can make the blooms anew seem cruel
In temperate waters, the ocean blue
bind you to me as I to you
Youthful solstices in equal parsimony
bring hushed utterings, the listless creed
of breaking hopes, the terrible fragility
that lifts desire, want, dream and need
Before this schism, our great undo
bind you to me as I to you
Stars never see the light of day,
or feel the warm stroke of the sun,
but each is at peace, in its own way
before and after it’s burning is done
With sunfire and ice, kiss me imbued
bind you to me as I to you
The hollowness of my voice that fails
and falters belies the nature of my love
and defines more than the tale
of young souls in the greater above
Let our hearts, that simple truth
bind you to me as I to you

Her mouth radiated sunfire
When the corners of her lips
Curled into a smile
And her tongue licked
Lustfully across her teeth...

when misfortune tries to shipwreck my future and i'm enslaved by chains of doubt ,you reach out a gentle loving hand to me ,suddenly its clear what love is really about.when fear with deadly hands slowly chokes life out of my dreams and I want to stay in bed with the covers over head,whatever strength was inside leaks in a run like a fleeting bride.your love recaptures that escaped. when wide eyed unrest disturbs the church of my familiar it seems to be if your not near and the music of time skips in an uneven beat.when your arms circle around this hungry wraist the touch is sunfire

O hollow souls who now gather here in rows,
Now standing in its presence to rob a bit of essence
Before the fire of the day you pray,
Turn away, kneel here
Where the Angel decays
Just ash remains
Where fire cleansed
The winds sweep clean the scene and silence keeps the peace.
Sunfire marks the shadow grave.
