A reawakening so refined,
Unblemished retreat deep in silence,
Mannerisms willfully suppress mayhem.
An outcry lingers to ride the cape,
Of an encroaching sunset,
Blanketed in prismatic gold sequence.
Sleep like a rare Morning Glory,
Abiding in discipline,
Delayed in eloquence.
Much is to be exhibited,
Pungent smell of revival,
No glacial falling star,
Among the shadowy night,
Can ever mask.

Why does one thirst near the water well?
Or shed a tear near the salty sea?
Contemporary ounces of perplexity,
Yearning for what the dawn brings.
We've yet to catch a falling star,
Discover the precise end of a rainbow,
In all its chromatic glory,
While scouting for tomorrow's corner,
Threading light and subtle,
Catch and seize the present,
Thirst for the greater good,
Cry to heal one's soul.
Scripted chronicles await,
Interlaced with serendipitous moments,
Amidst destiny's hour.

Belong to me As a precision cut gem Hounding instinct You are indeed not whole Perplex is your stare Strongest magnetism ‘ ‘Neath the corners of poised eyes Natural as morning mist Layering the highest of mountainous peak Submissive to your own joy Haste of evanesced drops Belong to me
Systemic in a paramount system
Alluring and perplexed
Leaves do not conform
In their whirlwind spiral
Ascending to an overcast sky
My every premeditated step
Bears no silhouette in the dark
Invisible remnants of shattered glass
But that boisterous noise
Warm welcome relief over
This speechless silence
Infiltrating dim somber perimeter
A forbidden space
Supremacy comes full circle
Repetition is imminent
As clustered dewdrops begin to fall
Staunch methodical madness
Only a few can master

Palpitations of a weary heart A partial eclipse… Gradually holding on to existence Meandering towards the hilltop No laughter from the merry men As blurred mist encroaches Faith a minute grain But the soil is not barren The ground not parched Like a nomadic gypsy Barefoot and brazen Gravitate… Dance amidst the wispy air Melancholy will die a slow death Bury it by the wayside This ground is not parched Leaves boldly glimmer Though sometimes Replenished by teardrops Dance gypsy dance The heart will endure…
Write my name in this moistened sand
White lilies are fading
Simultaneously with the utterance
Of words abound in solemnity
Carve our dates between the gnarled oak tree
Robins flew away a minute too soon
But I kept each and every memory
Savored that happy space
Sketch my face in the corners of your mind
Whilst we reign in existence
Appoint me your hero
Battle any encroaching dark force
Armored and aligned we must be
Trotting through this portal of destiny
Me for you and you for me
Signed and sealed marvelling in eternity

Lest I forget Breaking free this pivotal morn Marvel in metamorphosis Doused in redemption Remembered the dark night Encroached in cascade fashion My space in destiny now depleted A weight so unendurable My head elevated to the lull sky The goal to feel less constricted Even for a brief moment Does a butterfly recall Any remnants from its cocoon An alluring apparition From the faded chrysalis Allow the sequence to conform Like a string of priceless pearls This world is ready Dormancy has died Life will indeed go on Let my wings flutter and soar Interlaced with a sunrise Ardorned in brilliance I am breaking free
Erroneous...
Spasms like a wave at sunset
Gently uniting with the sandy shore
Serendipitous collision maybe...
A tender to the touch feel
But you are gone...
Crystalline illusion that is fading fast
No prismatic rainbow
That hoists the pot of gold
What am I to receive from a naive heart?
Turmoil grasping for navigation
You are gone...
Time will indeed wane
Hills and valleys await to greet me
For I radiate warmth
Monarchs shall flutter their wings merrily
But for now no whistling from the wind
You are gone...

Moonlight mystique, Traverses the air. The mocking bird is my friend. His song comforts my silence, Empathy is not far away… As stars take their rightful place, In an extensive sky. Predestination seals its beauty, Alluring in their prime. Darkness won’t ever crumble, To the lull of a forthcoming dawn. Sing mocking bird sing, Lyrics need not triumph… Endurance I can muster, Hold my rightful place, As median to what is drawing near, And what is left behind…
Tears of joy from Uranus
Descend upon the earth today
An alignment so divine
Two hearts destined to be together
Fate shall reveal its face
Beneath the pale blue sky
A swan gracefully glides
Leaving behind sequential ripples
Perfection in this flawed world
Gifted to be a witness of
A warm moment of bliss
Oblique is the gaze
Color of beauty in a prismatic form
All that's left to do is sigh
If what is to transpire
Is better than this present time
Bated breath will be impossible to subdue
The soul already hungers
May the glimmer of the sun forever stand still
The fairytale begins now
