Moonlets

  
searched
until you were near
just at the top of black trees...
spread wings and took flight
riding beams of light, into
a place of forever's...where
love and light entwine like we,
last lovers of night...









bold night glow makes a sepia sea
still waters hold a solitary ship
provoked by a flickered cabin light
bright stars contend with firelight
traveled across endless tides.
No answers for a beating heart
from breathless Moon and orbs
yet sense my tiny, momentary craft
and its greatness... of love






was it hope or fear..
love or the lack of love,
I do not know how
an indifferent night
was persuaded ...to share
it's precious gem
like a cradled egg--
a birth of dreams




 

 where you might pass...
a place for my heart







 


 
watching autumn sunset
leaves...
without words

 the Orion Nebula a womb,
a blue haze to the eye
nursery of newborn stars;
bold legend in night sky
hero and God striding far.
Bright white lights, ages inspire

and we see night's own gems
a gift of time and patient fires...hdm

"when she rises in my thoughts
like Venus in the east, feelings
drawn, the night holds a swarm;
of boundless flame, an unending embrace
Love rides on pathways of light..."

a swell of light

low in the east,  a goblet

glowing  so it took my eye

and I saw it just as that-

night signs, we might

take a great gulp of life.

Jupiter and a solemn moon, circles that remind
a winter of love, a time above the clouds, and
to be glad for all we have had; that Love holds us
like a ring of light, and we too give purpose
to time and beauty...hdm

Moons

near and far, gleam like stars
reap crops of fertile imaginings;
but one is more real...
was on mind, in eyes,
on skin...when my world
was so deeply in love...hdm

the sunsets i remember most
were not upon the sea, despite the
golden path of sun on water
no, the sunsets i remember most
the Sun was at my back and
its golden path... led to you
