Years later
Dusk still glitters
On lingering moonlight
Platonic abstract terms
Sounding human
More beautiful then ever
In spite of everything

Conscious forming letters
Translating madness
Death sentence stepping beyond
Feeling emptied of everything
Motionless sun & the sea…you & me
Earthlight’s flesh of unity
Pressed against the greatest translation

Are my red cheeks undermine
Hands touching them for the first time
Surrealism becomes me
On the forehead of connection
Walking in the footsteps of desire
Where mysterious reclaims beauty

Somewhere on a mountain peak
In Virginia, in late summer of 03
Did tomorrow disappear?
Where the end of life became
Potential purity
Inside your mind
You slept on my skirt
Where a handrail of midst
Compliments any dream beyond all sound

You said our whitewashed walls
Were only for the moment
But what if that moment lasted a lifetime?
In the thatch of sheen
Where sun lay high in the sky
We lean against immortal sacrifice
Vacationing in our minds
Visioning our circle isle

Shall we swim together toward shore
Or let the ocean carry us
Toward an extravagant world
Where we face each other for a while
Looking deep into our eyes
Where even wounds do not look
Moments tremble
As I write to you again

Once again, mystical pulls itself up
Into the sways of passion
Yours and mine
Performing our fate
In the name of positive knowledge
Metaphysically worthy
Of side by side
I smile at your success
Strangely not jealous
She is a woman of fine art
One of which you’ll not tire

You could have stopped here
and I would have been quite pleased...

The imagery portrayed throughout was simply outstanding.  A fine masterpiece you have shared with us.

Take care.........Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

All of this is an exceptional plate.  These
lines tugged at me.

Shall we swim together toward shore
Or let the ocean carry us
Toward an extravagant world
Where we face each other for a while
Looking deep into our eyes
Where even wounds do not look
Moments tremble
As I write to you again
