THEMES

Let fly the burnished gaze
when eyelids flutter just before the mind's dawn
that awakens such awe and mystery
in the coffee cup moments
life becomes a microscope of visions.

Peace is the writer's envy
because it only comes
through a flurry in fixations
eyes blocking sunlight
to delve in deepening textures
what the sun truly shines.

Magic spews in musing quill strokes
as one grasps at airy metaphor straws,
sucking them dry of meaning.

Inside the heart floats in sensuous tank
swirling with the colors of the soul,
painting them from memory
because one saw
amid the tinsel and glow
a face needing attention.

Carried by the melody inspired
seeing its harmony in earth's banquet,
tranquility only comes
from passing on the luster felt as pure golden ecstasy
unto those who can't touch the sky.
