Angel of the air and lunar light with blazing florescent wings


"Tether"

Tether

To keep my mind in focus on the dream

Of love complete, unending; see its gleam

To be in love with endless heart of you

Hidden 'neath the endless spectral view

Excruciating in the face of facts

Life fulfilled required to fill the tracks


Amidst the pain of falling rain

The tethers fain to keep me sane

Forcing me to focus on the love

Coursing through the heart from sky above

All the thoughts return to June

Make it full and make it soon

Tether tied to heart of one with grace

To keep me steady on with steady pace

I could not drown while floating on the sea

Of grace of you, it drives the grace of me

"Intrusion's end"

 Intrusion's end

Don't worry my dear

I won't be there

As you take to the stage, once more

Your revel is clear

I'd hate to stare

As you open your heart to the score


Intrusions are ending

But, rhoems are wending

To make of this life what I may

No certainty here

That the ether is clear

But, still, I have something to say


I won't bother your stride

As I take to the ride

In the only way left

 Without feeling bereft

'Tis just as it's been in the past

My existence remaining a fast

Something I never have sought

But the will on its own as it fought

Through the willanuck ways that are taught

Excuse me if rhoems are wrought

For you


"Mountain mists"

Mountain mists

The swirling mountain mists enshroud the quiet majesty

Enclosing all the trails and joy of pomp and pageantry

The solemn vows are hidden 'neath the cap of each dewdrop

The pinnacle revealed in light as mist departs the top

The rumble of the mountain can be heard both far and wide

The pain of rocky remnants tumble down the mountainside

The tumble scatters risks down on the trails on which we ride

No shelter can be taken with no place in which to hide

The mist in mountain's shadow cloaks the rumbles deep inside

"Touching"

 Touching

Sing to the mountains

Sing to the skies

Bursting from fountains

Let river raise tides


The day her drawbridge touches land

The day she fills the world

When all the love is faintly fanned

The woman's flag unfurled

The day the wonder of her voice

Rings out with no more pain

Is day that life has won its choice

The ending of the rain

The day the voice that ne'er holds back

Is singing, free of heart

The day in which we find the knack

For chains to fall apart


One of her nicknames is Gaia. Artful Dodger, or Gypsy Empress, also.  Another layer is about womanhood.  For me, they are the same.


"Raindrops"

 Raindrops

As much as you complain about your heart

In efflorescence from the very start

It scatters like the raindrops from a storm

In vast expressions of the woman's form

Transcendence lies between the raindrop's tears

Combustion of the end of all your fears


Another one I halted before it got out of hand.  Maybe I'm learning something.  Maybe not.

"Empress' ways"

 Empress' Ways

Every time I leaf on through the layers

As I ponder all the sundry players

There is no doubt within my mind

In every channel, bound in kind 

The Empress gets it right

She raises standard, leads the way

Into forays, she leaves at bay

The paltry and the fight


She fails to signify her grace

No thought thereof, without a trace

As my heart begins to race

I guess she feels she stumbles

As life begets the rumbles

As all of mankind humbles

Recovering the grace

" Display"

 Display

For some, the secrets of the heart

A difficult display

Through a life, right from the start

You know more than you say


You blaze and, then, transcend display

A shelf-life lived in days

And, so, I rhite it on the way

Expose the mythic maze


A little isolation

That was bought at such a cost

Defining all creation

Bringing refuge to the lost


I realized, today, that I believe in you far more than humanity.



"A Puff of Wind"

A Puff of Wind

A puff of wind that brushes 'gainst the cheek

A random wave that hits the highest peak

A sense of life that will not let it go

An ache to let the wonder waters flow


A brush's stroke, an image in the mind

Piano's note, that leads to more in kind

The lips against her cheek and words in rhyme

The loving 'cross a wild expanse of time

The thrill is not in rising to a peak

But, seeing in your eyes the love we seek

The sharing is the loving, knees so weak

The river of the love from minor creek


 I had to stop writing this one before I went overboard.  I think I like it.

" The smell of the rose"

 The smell of the rose*

Intuition of feelings more deep than the sea

It all is encased in the magic of She

Transcending the time that She spends in this place

Outpouring of blood filled with passion and grace

The smell of the rose and all flowers in bloom

As life becomes measured, all doubts are entombed

Intuition, the feeling transcendent, She bears

She learns of the magic that guides as it cares

A useless endeavor 'tis not, for She knows

The sense of the wonder, the smell of the rose

"Destiny"

  Destiny

Destiny is seldom as it seems

From life to life, the love will see extremes

From loving of one lover to another

To loving child for sake of loving mother

A cry across all time for loving of

A soul that cries it's always been in love

"Whirlwind"

Whirlwind

In praise of a woman with wonderful eyes

Transforming expressions forever arise

The sweetest component, to ne'er realize

Her songs of the heart mesmerize


My celebration of her heart sustained in will and fire

The lifetimes will be many more, led by my heart's desire

To find new ways to celebrate the loving of that heart

And mesmerizing way she has from finish to the start

The whirlwind of emotions that cascade along her skin

It is my goal to circumvent the armour and the din



"Smooth"

 Smooth

Like soft summer showers that light up the skin

Like warm, gentle touch of the loving within

So smooth, like the wash of the sea on the sands 

Like jagged chain lightning ignites as it lands

Like two-twenty volts made of satin and lace

Like rockets exploding and gone without trace

The smoothness erupts and the shock comprehends

That loving will last as each heartbeat transcends


"Woman"

 Woman

The briskness of a winter morn

The warmth of summer breeze

First light of day as it is born

A sigh among the trees

For Woman


Daffodils in garden growing

Falling leaves of color

Lovely as a freshet Flowing

All of life is fuller

With Woman


The wind that sings from far above

The heart that moves us on

The engine of unending love

That brings about new dawn

You are woman
