• Christmas Poetry – “He Steps in, to Know Her” – Romanticism – 12/25/2020

    GraftedBy an awakening smile,Holding slender by the hand,Enjoying tunesSet by the choir,Rolling uphill by the damsel’s gaze,Swinging in the swell of enchantment,By the enchantress’s haze. His mind,A cold reluctance,As a place of winter amongThe city’s stare,Or his faceAs a simple notion to be sad,While words collapse against page,Seeing tears caught by the wind. Bells and…

  • Christmas Poetry – “Tearful Kisses beneath a Star” – Romanticism – 12/25/2020

    How many dropletsWill spill from the moon?We have laid here, together,Matching ourselvesWith the weather,The fevers from a fireplace,As you are mine. Scarlet hair,Beaming eyes,Folded skin, over curvesSoft as petaled snow,Of trees that connect each star,Dropping flakes easily as remembranceTo this unseen moment. You writhe in your pleasure,Folding grins against frowns,Feeling pain with my diningUpon scentsAs…

  • Christmas Poetry – “Grey Onlook” – Romanticism – 12/25/2020

    Outward,Past the rubble,The lights gleam a vesselIn my painstaking handsHolding a woman close,Of her rays,Upon her voyage. Weathered footprintsIn the icy ground.Loosened salt from the rooftopsOf my temples,For I still bare the sight of toil,Even on a day of unity. Her kiss had lastedTo the amorous twist,Strengthening me towards the North,Where flavor comes mixedWith the…

  • Poem – “An Hour of Admiration” – Romanticism – 12/23/2020

    Hold yourself there,Think not so fastOf things sure to collapseAgainst your figure in the light,While canvas captures,As hands command. You are the pinnacle of all I know,The dream envisioned, sure to showMy messages of admirationGiven thus,Rest atop your breast,Your place in the dust. A dying orphanage, caught aflame,Kept you hereIn your name,For the children spoke…

  • Poem – “Holding you in Darkness” – Romanticism – 12/22/2020

    Waking up,Seeing the sun,Comprehending the wavesShattering against the rocksOf my engrained heart. All loveIs a keenness,Staring to your shoulders,Knowing the weight atop them,Finding whereCurtains can be pulled backTo empty a solitary kiss. The world folds a closeness about,With the aura of a distant sunWhere dreams are as the ivy,Not poisoned.I caveInto you,Stinging myself with tears.…

  • Poem – “Losing to the Streams” – Romanticism – 12/22/2020

    WateredBy endless vowels,Taken to the consonants,Kept to the endings.All evennessBecomes the oddness,Lasted upon your gentle smile,Where wishes become ordinary,As tears become extraordinary. You have a face where loveDoes not remainTo keepSmiles, together.Fractures please youIn the earthen graves,As scenery is to the astute,While deserts are to the new. Your blindness,Your kindness,Feeble of eyes,Golden of heart.Streams gather…

    How often,So alikeThe storm seededAtop your burned,Scarlet hair,With your lipsPressed to the wind,Favoring droplets,Keeping to scorn,Mixing messages with the sailsScarred by your hurried fingers. DustBecomes redAs the lustYou take awayThrough the moon’s aperture,Where once was a faceOf something to truth,Where loveHolds a grail to your frozen lips,Not wasting a single dropOf a design. The heat,The…
