Of Dream, Of Dream
See now
the harsh amber husk
of night, envelop
the body’s sore insolence
in a hardened wilderness
of dream-scarves,

Westward luring,
these red muslin depths
of wet petals cling desperate
upon a black bough,
leaning into lucidity
with hands, sure to lift
the perilous scent of orchids
piled in a great sheathe of rain,

you come,
to shepherd my sorrow,
gently strip the gypsy silk
from my limbs,
my temple, my tomb,
opening a silence
of ruined wings,

your touch a path
of soft, wild promises
bathe my skin with seed,
in these quiet silver pools
of summer dream,
and warm my child
in your wings,

as in the passing
clouds pile themselves
into a tumbled weave
of violet blooms too fair
to cover the limbs that hang
heavy with the mists of desert storms
late come to the sky or night
as I yearn

for some small breath
that sleep might bring
leaving me in slow satin dream
where I am wrapped in more
than the ache of these unsheathed nerves
and cradled soft in seams
folded twice across
some muslin heart,

of dream,
I dream.


Thank you Mari... for indulging the old man..lol
and remind me in the future please.... of what a hard act your writing is to follow...

Nothing less than what I'd expect--the styles are so similar tho Cap.

'bout time for this too.

Reading you two has been like "call and answer" and finally, you meld.

And what a baby this is!

and I'm off and running today, so ta for now, and how appropriate I'd start my day panting. And nod, after reading this, I'll prolly stick to my lame ass story poems.

*ducking Cap*

hugs Mari

Chief~

the pleasure is absolutely...all mine...

(((Thank you))) for posting it, and for putting up with my lunacy (in general)...

you have always been and continue to be a great source of inspiration and strength for me....

love you, fierce~

About time!   My goodness I now have all your books Mari and it was still impossible to find the seams in this.  This truly was and must be, 'the first dance.'

Incredible work, and I bet you had fun getting into the swing of this one Ron, and you sure did it well!  A real challenge it would be to write with either of you!
