Her poise so graceful
-a flower untouched;
Like a lotus in muddy water
Her presence felt so distinct

Her glances so bewitching
To melt the hardest of hearts;
Yet like the Goddess of Love
No human could ever touch

Her love spriteful yet encompassing
To touch the wiliest of hearts;
Like the coolness of the full moon
Her nobleness rendering peace deep inside

Her unbridled beauty unmatched
Breathing life into the soulless;
With divine grace she entraps
The earth in her sublime beauty.

From HOW SKY HOLDS THE SUN


sunshine
shifting
the earth;
in your eyes
candles flickering

sudden fog
hiding the ocean
we see each other
in a new,
pale light

rainbows
come
rainbows
go
you, my treasure, remain

alone together
we listen to the wind
blowing souls
of our past dreams
against the windowpane

narrow mountain road
at each corner you tense,
stare straight ahead,
until, at the top, we stop
to see the world at our feet

I have seen angels in the sky.
I have seen snowfall in july.
I have seen things u only imagine to see.
But I haven't seen anything sweeter than u.

Arthur is a very ardent lover,
Rich in what must be a vein of joy.
The act of passion moves him like no other,
Having so much salience to employ.
Underneath a deferential cover
Reigns a knowing, smart, and needy boy

Ashley is a field of wildflowers
Surrounded by the ghosts of ancient trees.
Her temperament is delicate and bright,
Lyrical, with haunted hints of night,
Even-keeled, in a light, sweet-scented breeze;
Yet guiding her are dark, ancestral powers.

Ashley is a blonde with light green eyes,
Small in stature, ample in ambition.
Her shyness is a cover for a will
Like steel yet to be tempered in her still
Evolving sense of what will be her mission.
Years will yield the answer, harsh but wise.
