Truths

If you read

Enough love poetry

You will become a love poet

If you take your time

With truth and beauty

You will become beautifully true

If you make a point of seeing

The sunlight rise through the mist

The suns light will shine upon you

If you take your time with time

Then time will open her tome of time

To be there and waiting for you

Narrowed

In the scenes of all the stories that I told you

A little of me, a little of you, a little of life

Margins of the hopes

That I hold onto, thanks to you

Within the dreams, the ways and means

The schizoid schemes that I sold to you

A shade of me, a shade of you, a shade of life

Sunlight on the slopes

Where I hope still to be for you

Plantation

It is that time

Whenever I see the lavender

You, doubtless have similar irregular tensions

An image, an aroma

Even old fashioned

Imagination herself out there a wandering 

Would the slide rule

Help with sensations

Is any form of calculation going to bring order

These are not ghosts

Rather silk sheeted exposures

That lead us toward our past pretensions 

Together they take 

& hold the breath

From futures both past & present

We are not reluctant

Indeed in times ahead

We may again survive to seek out the lavender

Bench

Ache passes

With the passage of time

Time passes, yet

Ache simmers for all classes

Lame ducks

& sulphurous gasses

Lime faced structures

Those gamely lasses

The fairway was rough

Momentary flashes

Our timely hush

The ache filled ashes

Sensory Deprivation

We were naked

Happy to have warm salt water

Fondle our bodies

She wanted to

& we did submerge ourselves

Entirely lithesome underwater

My muse then

Weightless & spreadeagled

In petals of heavenliness

She wanted to

& we did allow ourselves

The extreme purity of indulgence

We became

Our own subterranean muses

In that love swim

Of our wonderful lives
