nightlife – 20 September, 2010

i do believe in fairies,
and dance the night away.
we fly and chase the raindrop dew,
until the break of day.

when the moon is high and lit,
the nightlife comes alive.
be careful where you step, my pet,
for jesters gone awry.

the queen on heightened glory soars,
‘fore iridescent eyes.
her praises ring melodious charms,
from gentlemen in ties.

the courtiers’ prancing waltz
erupts in trumpet cries,
children gulp down chocolate malts,
and want no beddy-byes.

and so begins a fairy scene
as from the days of old,
when children were entranced by such,
and the stories were retold.

so when at next you see a gleam
of diamond in the brush,
know the joy of fae and queen,
is whispered with a “hush!”

moonlit mend – August 25, 2010

hello again my moondrop friend

drip, drip, drop

hello again my moonlit mend

kiss, kiss, plop

this empty way – February 26, 2009

this empty way,
this open heart;
the way it ends,
the way it starts.
a lullaby of eerie style,
sinks down
and down
and on
for miles.

les miserable – February 26, 2009

les miserable,
oh, frightful day.
and in the fog,
hope disarray.
it gently moved,
then slipped away –
that cold ‘n dreary,
frightful day.

toppum hat – February 25, 2009

welcome sir, your toppum hat
is sitting blank upon your head.
did you know there’s one of that
and of that one it’s nigh to dead.

haplessness of wishing wells – February 24, 2009

haplessness of wishing wells,
the erotic depth a plight;
dancing mice and wedding bells–
may vanish in the night.
whisper softly in my ear what
you wish be your delight,
when closer i soon then become–
i’ll make your feelings bright.

hopeful, hopeful firefly – February 23, 2009

sunshine of my heart;
come back, come out to play.
happiness of grey–
spilled open to impart.

at long last, welcome back, dear muse;
my most welcomed inspiration–
the wondrousness causation,
my joy in all dear hues.

be charming in the moment,
be daring in descent.
sweet love, so strong and potent–
with thoughts anew, unspent.

let love and laughter fill your cup–
when offered in atonement.
twas when the shapeless tree twas bent,
then warm came bubbling up.

gentle, gentle butterfly,
in the case of hope amend.
hopeful, hopeful firefly–
my good and dearest friend.

dedicated and written for the love of my life, Demitrios. I love you.

buzzless bees – February 20, 2009

winter nights, summer kites, windblown hair;
rolling hills and captains’ wills followed through with care.
all the wingless hummingbirds, all the buzzless bees;
lonely howls, balding owls, separated “we.”

hollow in the morning – February 20, 2009

hollow in the
morning,
hollow in the
night;
taking home no diamond
ring,
but dancing with the
king.
