Empyrean (a Poem)

 Empyrean  

 

One, two, three, four, 

One, two, three – fly 

I chase the illusion 

Dream – fantasize 

 

Drawn to the velvet 

Thick the motions scroll 

Clear floating breezes 

Line my heart’s soul 

 

Oh, do I see him 

Is he here – just there 

Dance for me kind king 

Spin your servant fair 

 

Long I’ve dreamt to find you 

Entice, come near I pray 

Take my hand, my every breath 

Give your strong command 

 

Drawn to this, my trance 

An escape to be with you 

If only in my visions 

Until a day so new 

 

So new with its beginning 

Unearthed and set above 

Heaven holds my waiting 

How dare I mention love

Reflections of the Eve (a Poem)

 Reflections of the Eve 

 

Pure, the echoed silence 

Forced to hold its breath 

Gently pricks my soul 

I resign to your request 

 

Touch, creating motion 

Heat moves now within 

Strong and so assuring 

Flow, caress, we bend 

 

Embrace the swollen air between us 

Let it linger through the night 

Tantalizing spirits  

Radiant as light 

 

Your kiss, my cadence 

Trails between my lips 

Your mouth an endless river 

Deep and sensuous 

 

Stay with me forever 

Day through night we live 

Devotion is your heart’s beat 

Ardor is your gift
