come to me
like winged dryads
and lift my prostrate soul
to heights untrodden

adrift with clouds
     of unstarry skies
                         windblown to rainbows
                            without pots of gold

between
the uncheckered intermission
of shade and light
come to me

ii

to elysian fields he roams
gazing at the threshold of beauty
basking at the fountainhead of truth
nutritious viands that feed the soul

empyreal heights                      
laurel wreaths                  
meridian sunshine  
       of nectared sweets
               witchery of words
                     full blaze of glory
                                               poesy's gorgeous kubla khan

then all vanishes
like dreams
like streaks of shooting stars
like enchanted fairyland
. . . he is a poet

ACT I
Cold hands in an unstarry night,
an unknown murderer in need of a light.
A broken blanket, the hands are still cold.
I roll down the hill, you wait for the storm.
The clouds go away, I want them to stay.
ACT II
Your voice becomes an echo.
Like a thunder in the distance.
Then I get it, just with a glance...
You were the storm I was under.
ACT III
I light your death, my hands are warm.
I never needed your embrace at all.
Samara May 7
full moon peaks beyond bare branched trees
rising with the tides on a dark unstarry sky.
all ships ebb
all ships flow
underneath the variable moonlit glow.
satin & silk
creamy filled ivory
still we're on the brink
of what? we will see.
