For my Butterfly

I Opened my Eyes

 

I opened my eyes and woke

To find the back of your soft neck,

Full of ancient beauty that broke

The magnitude of love to a speck.

 

Your hands hold this elegance

With tender strength and grace,

Comprised of a smile and elements

Full of the spheres wrapped in lace.

 

Red and magenta colored pounding

You bravely go into aching tenderness,

Allowing the crashing and the sounding

Waves to wash over you in endurance.

 

Your strength is laid on its bed

Released to be restored in peace,

You walk exposed and revealed, led

With resting eyes you decrease.

 

When time has stopped therein

We pause to recollect, that

Tomorrow will have been,

The place where we have always sat.

 

Veiled secrets we find together,

Uncover the mysteries we discover,

Anything we can weather,

In the splendors of the deep we recover.

 

In fields of crystals and gems

We pack these truths that are hidden,

That offers charity and stems

Into a love forbidden.

 

Floating weightless like a bird,

The wind carries you underneath

Effortlessly your arms transfer

The embrace like a welcoming wreath.

 

Our victory is ours,

If we prevail in faded light,

Through unknow hours,

Climbing to foreign height.

 

I am home safe there with you

Underneath an arc of doves,

Venturing past the breakers only a few,

Spoken with love in primeval tongues.

 

Tiptoeing through the brush,

Behind the stonewalls in the garden

We make our pledge to never rush

Fading seconds, nor make its pardon.

 

Time in our hands is all we have,

Let no mistake be an offer,

To lose our whole into halves,

And exhaust what we stored in our coffer.

 

We wait on rays of light,

gentle feet on the particles,

Hand in hand we fight,

To hold onto our ageless articles.

 

Manuscripts cannot contain

The road to travel,

But our own cryptic message we obtain,

And choose to walk upon the anvil.

 

Delicate hearts with no mask,

Our own love we have composed

“Where to tonight?”, we ask

Laying down with eyes closed.

A Poem     Blue waves crash On a distant shore. Earth meets sky On a thin blue line. Wind blowing out Over a far away land. Sand swirling In strange light. Harrowing Death upon Ancient stores. Awakening before the  Dark light begins to dine. Celestial direction Leading to the band. Orchestrated melodies of old Stirring with their might. Beams of night darken With words of lore. Lost in depths of memories that once were fine. Weakness washes over Heartless to stand. Silence takes over Gleaming softly in the fright.

  Touching the Void   I shuffle to the end of the earth, My toes suspend on the edge, Universe surrounds me in a black birth, Particles drift past in silent pledge. Reaching out my hand, fingers dripping forth.   Disintegration of affected cells, Evaporation of self into space, Drawn in to waves of chimes of bells, That hang with soft grace, I wake to leave the broken shell.   Awareness is hiding like a stray cat, In the alley of dumped trash cans, Finding the eternal moment life went splat, Disguised in a messy cabinet of pans, Undistinguished chatter comes last.   Energy swirls in strange light, Unknown breath exhales out Of my lungs with forced plight, Aching to reroute A new ascension of angled flight.   I must venture out to the void, Where the unknow is the place to go, For therein lies the overjoyed, Of finding self and low, That which darkness destroyed.   Repair me and I will feel Your presence in the shadows,
