You of Golden Minds



Hasten down, all you of golden minds
Young or worldly, true and comely chaste
Brightly rise, swiftly step and hasten hence.

Prick up your spirits, leave your dullness behind
Out of the brightly lit, merry fete of Spring,
Cast off all that hinders your supplicant will.

Twirl and lively dance to sing and shout,
Mid wine inspired jubilation of festival.
Chirp the bird, cry the wolf and hoo the owl.

For upon the humbled visage of my soul,
Do invite all who wish to see and speak the voice,
For she is here, to hold our hearts and cheer thy soul.

Greet Summer's dawn and Winter's gone,
A hearty price was paid, anon call in the glade,
Now roar and sleep no more, till Winter's door,
We curse once more.

Laws of Attraction





Can the energy of a star
not have need of a moon?
Hold me in your orbit
So I can be your satellite.


Light me with your star shine
When the blackest coldest space
Would wreck my dreary course
Hold me in your laws of attraction.


Eclipse me in your heavenly face
Spin me round your distant body
Hold me in a planetary ballet
Twirling, dancing, shining, endlessly

Love's Dark Goodbye



Last night my walls were tissue-thin
There hung a vale of starry skies
The years dissolved, your smile slipped in
My heart repeats an aural delight 
Our words, anew, infeasible shy

We dismiss the words, our eyes reply
A thousand angels chant your name
You hold my hand, I melt inside
Novas shower through my veins
While thoughts exalt, our voices tame

How shall I ever avow your heart
When dreams are all that we now share
In nights demur we always part
A tragic love I shan't compare
How could you leave me in the dark?

The Sapphire Princess




When round in the Moonlit mist of May

Mid woods and in shadows long and gray

Shines a twilight mist all pale and plenty

As the Sapphire Princess slips down her Moon gantry


To dance with her court in a fairy's foray

And celebrate summer in advent sashay

Festooned in presque' flower and scented trimerous

Their fairy recital resounds with a chorus


Spry foot, hand in hand, the dancers all circle

They'll ply for her favor, bedeck her in tendril

She'll titter and wink, her suitors she'll nuzzle

Aroused by dandelion nectar, and truffles


Whence all in such fashion attentions go absent

Inconnu might steal up to glimpse on a moment

The petite exhibition, while cloaked in low branches

But, concealments no safety at May Fairy Dances


When daylight returns, the fomenter can't transient

With bark on his limbs, now a tree for a spirit

Bright days and long nights, he'll pay for his spying

The moment was stolen, come spring he is pining


For May's Moonlit dances and the Sapphire Princess

My letter to your heart

    
You must tell me what flower you wish for me to plant.
If your love is true, it will bloom in your absence.

There are not so many things that I can give to you,
but those that I can are enough, if you truly care for our love.

Though my nights are your days we come around,
like your star, one day and one night, and repeatedly thus.

When the star I have chosen for you hangs above your pillow,
you will see what I have wished for us.

On the right day, the things you want shall be yours, if it is to be,
and you have not over wished your star.

In my heart is a big hurt that needs to be filled with a special force,
I hope that it can be you.

Be certain you have chosen well in your mind and not just in your heart,
for if your pain is too great, any choice may do, for a while.

There are not so many things that I can give to you,

but those that I can are enough, if you truly love.

                                           and flowers choose to bloom.
