My Wife Awake!


After the first creeping rays scan the meadows
with white lightwaves of morning over greensward
gliding like a spirit they conquer silhouettes.
Without fading and with wreckless destination
they reach the tempered sands and reveal reflections  
past the glassworks and at last to images made
by breath, heaving in dream zones of light slumber.
Inside the walls there stands the dark figures
where, collecting their jizz, they conspire mystery,
illusions of connected conjure.
They stretch now and begin to move, and fast they go
in crowds, and at last with a brilliant maddness ©
blazing butterscotch swords dissect them into
splaying icons round sunlit kins.
And always music, playing out of reach
the rooster crowing, cracksman of sweet sleep.
Sifting through dreamland pastures in the mind
and flushing out visions of eldorado
the cockcrow of choice causes bedfellows and
soul singers to battle for the beauty's heart.
At last, murmers like late for morning work
whisper from the crest of the cortex beyond
where finally a small embryo of conscious
light feathers the flickering lids of life.
Then like a spring set free she bolts straight up to
the boondoggle of a button to push, before a smile
breaks honey sweet across her face my ..........
wife awake!

Ain't doin nothin at all
Just answerin the call
Kinda driftin away from it all~~~~~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.
