Two Bodies, We
Two bodies, we
You, the hardwood Oak
I, the clinging passion vine
Entwined in the ebony night.
Two bodies, we
You, Mars the god of war
I, Venus the goddess of love
Fiery night sky bleeds with red heat.
Two bodies, we
You, the shaft of flint
I, the shimmering diamond
Black night sparks, catches fire.
Two bodies, we
You, the river flowing to the blue sea
I, tumultuous waves as you spill into me
The night screams with cries of ecstasy.

Promises
Don’t miss John’s – Promises!!
Promises and a miracle
Your soft hands in my hands,
us together upon the soft bed.
You smell of Summer flowers and we do not speak.
We knew,
love didn’t need words.
———————————————————————-
A miracle
Upon a Summer day,
with youth as our wealth,
I saw you and you saw me.
No words spoken and somehow.
We twisted-up our two lives, forever.
You became my wish and a prayer.
We became one for a time and we had the Summer and the Fall.
You were a miracle to me,
forever and a wonderful place to find in kind memory.
Coyote
Be kind whenever possible, forgive always and look at everyone through the eyes of unconditional love
The Unsaid Bond
Do we have anything between us?
or am I chasing a mirage,
a shimmering shadow
that glitters sometimes
only to disappear
after some blithe moments
to treasure whilst your absence
You mayn’t know
but every time you decide to leave
I am pulled into a ravine,
an abyss,
a bottomless pit of darkness and despair
Until you appear again to disappear
and the mirage loop continues
