Will You Join The Dance?Drowning in the moment
Washed by waves of random chance
Some enchantment woven hence
Does the weaver of such a silken web
Raise an eyebrow
Let slip a smile
To witness seeming synchronicity
Draw opposites together
Unwitting mortals fall for love
Flowering with the brilliance
Of a billion supernova
Each must learn
Ambrosial the sting
Sons of Adam
Daughters of Eve.

EndgameDo not speak to me of love
This is nothing of the kind
Your velvet tongue it dances
Piercing sweetness does abide
I shall never stand again
In daylight in the sight of God
For your very gaze has scarred me
No will to call my own
I imagine that the host did weep
When you fell so far from home
As knowledge is thy power
Tutelage of hours immeasurable
I learned all I know from you
How very brief my token protest
Who is the girl the mirror shows
Once I was promise and all it holds
Everything I could have been
Scattered to the shrieking winds
Amusement etches laughter lines
Upon your perfect face
Never more striking than now

NightwatchSee how the rain falls
Illuminated by the stars
The moon flits in and out
Of charcoal clouds
And you sleep sound
Within your sheets
I cannot feel the sweet caress
Morpheus vexes and evades me
His spell will not be cast
I must watch the fire burn low
Contemplate the ticking of the clock
The minutes pass and fall away
Into the soon dim land of the past
As dew forms on the mulberry bush
Only embers form shadows upon you
Popping and sparking
Fragile ash mirrors the rain
The rug will need swept
When morning comes…

ContemplationA scant illumination
Traces the line of history
Across the eternal here to there
I hear the voices of a distant age
As I tread the paths of ancient days
The temples of neglected gods
Condemned to sit idle
The worshipful long gone
Nothing sacred any more
Within marble halls
Headless idols in silent rooms
Relics of a once living past
None left to revere
Nor lay the altars
The sweeping hand of time
Cast clouds upon the old ways
Now we stand and stare
Yet do not comprehend
The minds of those
Long fallen away
From the sight of all.

An Echo Lingers StillI feel my breath grow swift
When confronted with such beauty
Rich chocolate hue of long dead eyes
Stare from canvas thick with age
The film of grime from passing years
Cannot mar your perfection
The blushed pink of your pout
Makes my heart pound faster still
I imagine he must have adored you
In your youthful prime
To capture and make immortal
That which time has taken
From the face of this world
I fancy to myself
I saw you pass me
As I forced myself
To leave the room
Sultry whispers in the air
The scent of fruit
In ripest prime
Yet not as sweet to taste as you
I feel giddy at the thought
To touch your skin
Of gold a
