winter's breath

such breath is like lonely dream
a life that drifts in lily white
the air is cold but surely gleams
true beauty through the azure night
i watch it dance and grace my soul
with only the deepest intent
its mere appearance makes me whole
and thus i am far more content
the way it holds me when i veil
my eyes to ebb from autumn's heart
just takes my hand and never fails
as dear Jack Frost who bares such art
enhances almost everything
and thus i smile to see this truth
my inner self begins to sing
and still connects me to my youth

Author Notes: my favorite season happens to be winter.

broken

deprived of the enshrouding night
a reckoning of sorts slips through my fingers
'breathe' whispers my heart...'breathe'
the dreams i poured, now withered pages, pass through the wailing west wind
my soul is torrent, raped of all its mystique
i am broken. 
 

 

Euphoria

slowly I graze 
against the shrouds of my youth
embracing what it had already meant 
to scribe

when rain was just as sweet as light
and gray overshadowed no beauty
fairer than my muse 


and through that curious enchantment,
which in time aroused my secret self,
I was at once acquainted with my heart's eternal dreams.


I will beseech you

remembering when you were mine
I held you - reluctant!

you've surged throughout my soul: traveling aimlessly...
wandering, swaying like a leaf amid an autumn's breeze
you were so afraid, so afraid

beneath the moon you shone with such an eloquence
that I could not help but to fall in love

my confessions yearned for your lips and
ever softly I wept to know your ripening thoughts
(searching for you in the night)

lover's were we when the open doors of breath
recaptured our every whim;
we've drowned, we've drowned

and so, undyingly and again:
I will beseech you.
