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.

Your Love Lights My Soul

When you speak, even the stars seem to stop,
And the whole universe bows to your grace.
Everything stands still, as if the world knows,
There’s no true joy unless it’s found in your face.

Your beauty is like the soft light of dawn,
It colors the sky with dreams angels chase.
No shadow could ever touch your perfect glow,
Because when you look, even the sun finds its place.

Oh, when I hold your hand in mine,
A fire ignites, racing through my veins.
No riches, no crown, no treasure of gold,
Could ever compare to the love that remains.

And even if the world falls to dust,
My love for you would never fade or rust.

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.

Ephemeral Echoes II

Tears fell from a burning sun today,
people ran scattered trying to catch
memories of how they felt while this
miracle happened.

And today I went to the movie theater
to watch a black and white noir
about a man looking for innocence,
the secrets were in the credits.

Today was an abstract thought,
everything spoke | like clouds.
The trees wanted freedom
from pollution. I fell to my knees.

And in that stillness, the earth hummed,
a low vibration running through my bones.
I asked the dirt beneath my hands
if it remembered the days before men,
before machines carved the sky.

I wandered home, but nothing felt real.
The shadows whispered my name in a language
I forgot how to speak. I longed for the days
when the stars were close enough to touch,
before they hid behind our concrete dreams.

Tomorrow, perhaps, the sun will fall again,
and the people will chase it once more.
But I wonder if they will remember
how the world weeps for us, or if
they’ll simply move on—forgetting the echoes.

THE BASQUIATE QUESTION

IS BEAUTY blue –> ?

do the organs of life

scream when growing /…

bashed by colors like

a Basquiate painting –> ?

While the lips are formed

as an ‘O’ does the Spirit

flee in h o r r o r – – > ?

or, no, the Soul ascends into

a higher level of existence

where flesh and blood can

never touch!
