NOCTAMBULATION

          Noctambulant—beneath the Moon— 
I    met  a    Sprite along  the  Path

She whispered—soft—between the Trees
“You’ve devoured—all my Hope—”

Her Heart—a Dream—gently placed
Upon the Clouds—of fleeting Joy
As if a Party—meant to last
But vanished—in the Night

Within my Heart—we wandered far
I glimpsed—Life’s long elusive Thread
Then tumbled—deep—into the Arms
Of Love forevermore

In Petals lush of Crimson Red
And Ivory White—such Memories bloom
A Child’s Joy—now lost to Time
Find me where No Thing exists

Bid Nature’s Choir—sing of Spring
The Embers fade—but Love persists
Beneath the sad—eternal Night
A Moon of Silver—wistful light.

Look to the Stars!

I dared to lift my eye tonight
Upon a silver Sea
Where stars, like sailors—trimmed with Light—
Sailed far—away from me.

The firmament—a curious Thing—
Pressed low upon the Hill—
As if the Sky—with gentle Wing—
Would bear me upward—still.

No earthly tether—held me fast
No Dust—upon my feet
I stood—a Stranger—free at last
Where Earth and Heaven meet.

The stars—they whispered—”Come away
Where mortal Hands can’t reach”
And Time—a thin and fragile Day
Slipped from the aching Beach.

I felt the Heavens—softly part
And Breath of Ether—cool
Enticed the limits of my Heart
Beyond the body’s rule.

The Wind—a secret sentient guide
Embraced me in its Wake
It carried Dreams—both far and wide
Where nothing could forsake.

The World below—seemed dim and small
Its Chains—no longer tight—
For I had scaled—its crumbling Wall
To chase a Higher Light.

No Hero’s sword—nor Shield I bore
No Triumph in my name
But something in me yearned for More
Beyond the mortal Frame.

A Ship of stardust swift and sure
Unseen yet ever near
Carried my Soul forever pure
Toward Realms of Bright and Clear.

The Night released its faithful grasp
The Day too faint to bind
And in the stars I felt at last
The Life I’d left behind.

Not Flesh nor Time could ever be
The Boundaries of Man
For in the Stars a Mystery
Awaits a broader Plan.

So when your gaze does wander high
Beyond the Cloud and Blue
Remember it is not the Sky
But You who must break through.

The Eternal Thirst of Immortal Love

Though you are weary of the night,
I crave your presence, to my soul’s delight.
Our forms entwined, by fevered moonlight,
In passion’s throes, we meet in the twilight.
The air is thick, our skin drenched in mist,
Yet still, I hunger for your fatal kiss.
You consume my heart with each fleeting sigh,
And from your veins, I drink till I fly.
Yet no matter how deep the crimson runs,
My thirst for you can never be undone.

The world is mine, a prize of fate’s decree,
Won in a contest of chance and destiny.
But what care I for such trivial gain?
The spoils of fortune, to me, are vain.
I confess, for all the treasures I possess,
They pale to the taste of your sweet distress.
You ravish my heart, with every breath you give,
And still I thirst—forever I live.

La Soif Éternelle de l’Amour


La Soif Éternelle de l’Amour Immortel

Bien que tu sois las(se) de la nuit,
Je désire ta présence, pour la joie de mon âme.
Nos formes s’entrelacent sous la lune enfiévrée,
Dans les affres de la passion, nous nous rencontrons au crépuscule.
L’air est lourd, nos peaux baignées de brume,
Et pourtant, je languis toujours de ton baiser fatal.
Tu consumes mon cœur à chaque souffle éphémère,
Et de tes veines, je bois jusqu’à m’envoler.
Peu importe la profondeur du flot écarlate,
Ma soif de toi ne pourra jamais être étanchée.

Le monde est à moi, un prix du décret du destin,
Gagné dans un jeu de hasard et de fortune.
Mais que m’importe un tel gain futile ?
Les dépouilles de la fortune me semblent vaines.
Je l’avoue, pour tous les trésors que je possède,
Ils pâlissent face à la saveur de ta douce détresse.
Tu ravis mon cœur à chaque souffle que tu donnes,
Et pourtant, je reste assoiffé—pour l’éternité, je vis.

Pathétique 3

O emotions! you wild winds that sweep
Between the breath of earth and sky,
Where words fall short, but the spirit knows,
Yes, feels in the marrow, that life’s cruel song
Is just a fleeting note—sharp, unjust, but brief.

O soul of tears! Lift your chin high,
Though the heart may sink, low as the bending grass,
The sky weeps with you, the universe mourns—
Each spirit crushed, yet rising like the sun,
Tending to the wounded stems of far-off lands,
Where even sorrow’s barges drift—laden heavy,
Pressing against the shores of your tender heart.

But ah! through the storm of pain, through tears of fire,
The soul, like morning after rain, clears—
A sky so blue, it speaks of brevity!
For all mortal pain, no matter how it stings,
Is but a moment’s song.

And though the earth spins in its mystic dance,
You, beloved, who breathed love back into me,
Whose words stand tall like columns of truth,
Are the pillar that holds my tender being,
For love denied is a crime of the heart,
And loveless life is treason—
A punishment paid in a currency that leaves the soul wanting.

O, the festival of life! No longer a surprise,
I know your voice, your whisper like a breeze,
And in that knowing, I find the balm for wounds unseen,
For love lost is love remembered, forever keen.

PURE ESSENCE

THAT MY heart is heavy
whom shall carry it
a loved one
when I am done?

As love is mysterious
and most do not know love
then who carries it
from life to death?

Brave souls do, my dear
those who know the essence
of pure forgiveness
called Love.

The Poet as a Poem

In twilight’s quiet breath, you speak as words,
Each line a tether to the soul’s deep light.
The ink of dreams, it stains your heart with grace,
And through the void, you carve a space in time,
Where shadows weave and whisper in the dark,
Yet love, unbound, still calls you to the stars.

Beneath the moon, your spirit finds the stars,
And in their gaze, you rise beyond mere words.
You are both flame and ember in the dark,
A burning truth that dances with the light.
In each reflection of a life through time,
You trace your path, a gentle, sacred grace.

Your hands hold both the weight and gift of grace,
You spin the night and touch the distant stars.
And through each moment, fleeting breath, and time,
You shape the world with delicate, bold words.
In silence, too, your voice becomes the light—
A spark that blooms within the endless dark.

Yet even in the vastness of the dark,
Your heart beats on with quiet, steady grace.
You breathe the cosmos, drinking in its light,
And find yourself among the burning stars.
Your name is written in eternal words,
A soul who echoes through the tides of time.

Each memory you craft transcends the time,
A life, a dream, an echo through the dark.
You hold within the power of your words
The pulse of life, the weight of love’s pure grace.
And in your gaze, the infinite of stars
Unfolds, revealing threads of hidden light.

You are both shadow and the morning light,
A timeless figure, standing still through time.
Your steps are woven into endless stars,
And every breath a spark against the dark.
For you, dear poet, walk the path of grace,
And in your wake, you leave a trail of words.

Through words, you cast the light upon the dark,
And grace, your gift, is etched across all time,
As stars behold the poet’s sacred heart.

Music’s Sacred Trust

I held distrust for a time
For Ashbery’s drifting mind—
Such jumbled flights—did never
Rest upon a Common ground.

Like Beethoven’s sweeping hand,
I craved the solid note—
Not frippery of words or games,
No mere gestures to float.

He showed his music in his eyes,
And struck the mortal keys,
With strength that stirred the firmament—
Unlike Ashbery’s tease.

But time, oh fleeting time does change—
Or was it I—who heard?
The cadence of a deeper strain,
Beneath the wandering word.

Like Beethoven’s thunderous joy,
The meaning now reveals,
Though hidden in the folds of wit,
It presses, true, and seals.

I walk the line with wary step,
Seeking substance in the air,
As Ashbery’s nouns and verbs do rise—
A cautious symphony, so fair.

Yet still I sit at Ludwig’s side,
In reverence and in trust—
For he, in every stroke, commands
The music’s sacred thrust.

A Shade Like a Tool is a Savior

THE color (without comprehension) hums
shadows and violet dreams bend (light
a riddle) spun beyond our sight —
pulsing softly — alive — alive
the sky (forgets dusk) yet dares)_

to breathe between untold worlds
(threads of purple) time trusts
no hands (no hearts) to grasp
within its fold (all truths)
are contrived & dissolve

a tapestry whispers (our thought
at its edges) while (not) a surge unseen
swells & air wraps (in nothing
but a loud silence) bees
of secret hives hum without words.

no name, no sound bears the hue
it roots in voids (profoundly) without form
a color birthed (in shatter) where
meaning’s broken—beauty (lingers) undefined.

& so (do not speak) of purple tunes
heard softly — where quiet resides —
& knowing shatters too soon
(prisms twist the mind’s own will)
& pretty lives in deeper skies.

& deeper still (beyond the skin)
of thought, the light curls (violet) inward,
a secret wound, where night begins —
a kiss (between) the sound of stars
& what is heard — no voice is.

such space (where hearts fold) entire,
you & i (unbreathe) all time,
the purple thread (our soul’s attire)
is woven soft (by hands unseen)
& stitched by silence in between.

so tremble (dearest) at the sight
of all we never (truly) know —
& how the purple blooms at night
for us (its shadowed petals grow)
where prisms split & thought won’t go.

it’s Time.

A Spirit Upon the Breeze

I wear my Spirit unseen
Yet woven through each Thread

Though Flesh a shell—its borrowed form
The Soul’s the one instead

For I—a Woman, dressed in Man
The World—its gaze mislaid
Yet in the depths, I carry Truth
That Time cannot persuade

My Heart, it beats—yet sings the Song
Of Past that still remains
A Voice that echoes through the Veil
Of Lives—both Joy and Pains.

The Body bends obediently still
To what the World decrees
But I am More beyond the Flesh
A Spirit upon the Breeze.
