Starbright and moonlight
romance me to sleep
to a land where

dreams become free,
where on gossamer wing
my soul plays in flight
soaring fast over

mountain and sea.

Haven't you heard

the song of the moon

When dusk shadows fall

and day turns to night?

The crickets join in

as it carries its tune,

It soars in the eve,

on silver winged flight.

 

It sings in the mist

as it floats through the air,

The haunting notes telling

a tale old as time.

The night maidens sing us

their melody fair

And harmonies of

sweetest slumber sublime.

 

In the darkness it falls

on the listening ears,

Singing to souls

between sleep and awake,

That magical place

void of hours or years,

And tells them the secrets

of forest and lake.

 

As darkness surrenders

to light of dawn's rays,

Moon's melody fine

returns to its home.

Its message turns quiet

in whispers and fades,

'Til night once again

gives it freedom to roam.

Time passes slow like honey
Dripping from the comb, then
Like a lightning flash,

it changes speed.
Making way for days
Barreling quickly past like bulls
Rushing by in a great stampede.

The ocean has its rest
Rocking sleepily to the drum
Of a haunting sailor’s song,
Gradually rising to
A fury of strength and power
Waves crashing mightily along.

We have a rhythm too,
Sometimes sweet

and slow and soft,

a tender love, so kind.
Knowing when to gently tread
To hold, caress and soothe
The fragile heart, soul and mind.

Then changing like the tide
We follow love’s

impassioned call
We touch,

the vibrant flame ignites.

​

Your heart is where

I am most home
Your touch, my love,

salvation through 

the long, dark nights.

Sunset falls across
The expanse of horizon
Displaying a brilliant array
Of deep jeweled hues,
With light-hearted pink
Surrounding the clouds
Descending into vibrant purple,
Violet and blues.

​

The beauty witnessed here
Is striking and bold
Joy exploding,
In the last moments of day,
Melting slowly into
The deep night sky,
Like soft echoes trailing off,
Far and away.

Your storage on cloud

Is about to exceed

The uttermost limit

So if you have need

Your selfies & texts

And instagram feed

Can all rest assured

Of their cyberspace deed

For fifty more acres

VR land bequeathed

Just one doge coin a day

A bargain indeed

Just tap finger once

To say you’ve agreed!

The journey ahead
Full of mystery unknown
Beckons me forward
Romancing my heart.

​

The treasure of secrets
Veiled deep in the distance
Promising to
Reveal and impart,

​

All myriad wonder
Of love and life lived
Of truth and what is
And what brings us to be,

​

And waiting ahead
Just beyond the next bend
May contain all the truth
To life’s great mystery.

​

The unknown adventure
Is calling me on
Intoning a melody
New and yet old,

Like a beautiful siren
Singing her song
Enchanting, and promising
Beauty untold.

a sonorous boom preceded it

perhaps why it happened on thursday

the rumble of thor

that sounded before

told a story of origin infinite

 

the quantum dimensions 

of texture and tone

like a celestial quilt 

mother nature had sewn

enveloped all 

of time’s offspring

with one pivotal 

pendulum swing

 

the center of infinity

disguised in 

svelte asymmetry

a volatile pinpoint 

of inevitable trigonometry

 

the universe folded in

surrendering once again

erasing every detail 

that had been

 

and we end

 

and we begin

 

“a singularity

is such a rarity”

we proclaim with

amnesiac sincerity,

the magnitude of 

our naive oblivion

...absurdity

The amber glow

from light of flame

Dancing softly

on the walls

Has cast its spell

of dreamlike mist

Across my mind,

it calms, enthralls.

 

As candles flicker

slowly out

The dark of evening

covers me

Like warmest blankets comforting

And bringing rest

from all I see.

 

What was once in sight

now hides

In night's black shadow, swallowed whole,

And what was hidden,

now is seen

With eyes that light

the heart and soul.

 

The deepest secrets

are revealed

When thoughts are finally quieted.

When dreams take flight

and soar unbound,

The heart can say

what's left unsaid.
