A Warmed Life

In the Golden Glittering light

of the Garnet Apple larger than life

Angels herald my Crystal Cold steps

Towards an Everemerald Tree as tall as Wishing Stars;

A tree which seems to befriend its Christmas Choir of High Rises

All singing in the Blue Noise of an icy breeze

AMOR VINCIT OMNIA!

Auroral Incantation Blazing Brass Skybound, Crashing Copper and

Sparkling Silver into the Polished Metropolitan night

Made magic with a Spectrum of Strewn lit Sequins

A Rainbow captured prismatically

Under which I dream.

I dream of the most delicate states

Like ice sculptures

Gracefully dancing on April Air

their Ephemeral Decembral promises

melting into memory.

A Warmed Life

Blanketed with families sharing once in a lifetime wonder

or everyday wanderers taking it for granted

or love finding itself at last on bended knee

Photoflash becomes ornament

and another Perfect NYC Christmas

unfolds before my everopen and unjaded JadeBrown Eyes.

ONE

WE ARE ONE

DENY YOU MAY

BUT TRY TO MOVE

YOUR TORSO

WITHOUT MOVING MINE

SMILE WITHOUT

ME SMILING

WRITHE WITHOUT

ME WRITHING

GO WITHOUT ME

DYING

WE ARE SURELY ONE

Found

Thought I lost an earring today

A diamond earring

So little I cared

Still having you.

Listening

Bird above me

what say you?

who do you call?

You are so clearly alone

on your post

singing to the bay

And I sit beneath you

listening

knowing it's not me you call

But I will listen

if only to keep you company

and let not one soul's call

echo into the ethers alone.

Secretly, Yours...

Wrap me and unwrap me- I am your present. And in your future I am your gift. And in your past, I was always there, shining and soft, lingering; flirting; fringing and dying to be untied with gentle excited pressure.

Feel the silk velvet touch of what you don't know- the reason there is a bow- to prolong your pleasure of the unknown.

Promise to always tie and untie me, find then unfind me, hello then goodbye me- if only to come back to this moment of suspense; this delicate surprise.

And I promise to giveth and taketh away; to love and leave; to go but stay- forever in your wish list; your delicious bliss- find you in dreams both daylight and starlight and wind and unwind you; wrap and unwrap you; bind you to me with the pressure of a gentle bow,

and make you guess what is beneath.

Almost Full Moon

Night Crash on a Cancer and an Almost Full Moon on the precipice; a Jordan Almond Crescent away from perfectly round beam beholding all- you torture me.

I need you. I look like I'm running from something tonight, rather than just running. I want to keep going tonight and not stop, rolling, incessant tryst tangled in my veins, those hot things that pulsate with your tide shift.

I need you now. I feel myself on the edge of myself- a scant curve away from losing all control. You are one lunar parenthesis safe from my total sovereignty- white hot light swallows your darkness tonight.

You are almost powerless; surrendered- A Lion in a SeaStorm- what now of those fangs?

I need you now to run.

Diamond Heart

I have a diamond heart in my chest. On its best days, it radiates rainbow light; touches everyone within its limits; shines all over the world- especially your world.

On its worst days, its cold like a million icicles converging; hard and obstinate; and beats for no one- not even for you.

Having a diamond heart is difficult. It cannot break even when it wants to. It feels heavy in me and rattles against its cage- wanting to break free. But oh! what precious jewel; what pristine artistry; what a sparkling farce I suffer alone.

When you love me you feel my dazzling worth,

and when I love you I do it with a heart of stone.
