Our dearest significance Eyes like a smile narrow, soften like fur She stares at him, and he at her Love becomes a tangible thing When to each other we cling; For what heart ever linked with love Could be mere acquaintance? This year let love ever be Our closest dearest significance
Who holds the heart of the moon
Who holds the heart of the moon Depth, deeper than ocean’s deep Love deeper still You were to me The heart of the glowing moon Light in my night to fill. A man awakens from sleep And squints from the glare For this love his heart may even weep When he is hardly aware. But…
Suffused with joy
Suffused with joy Gaze, oh weary one, upon the rays of the sun As they part the clouds That stood in the way for far too long You recognize their beauty As if in a dream That you saw coming from a great distance away But never believed would come And now they are here!…
Terraforming her world

Or watched how brother moon was the only light That helped the wolves find shelter for the night? With each sumptuously scrumptious kiss We have….
Countryside dreams
Countryside dreams Speak to me not of the city streets Or the honking of horns and the noise that lifts to smoggy skies, But speak to me rather of countryside dreams Of the clopping of hooves on a flower-lined road And miles and miles of farmland and fields. Never mention to me the hustle and…
All of nature subdued
All of nature subdued Like the skies that held back water Were suddenly rent in two As the downpour drenched the earth On a park bench with you Soaked to the bone but hearts content For where love is present All of nature’s wrath is subdued
