Melancholy Rare
Exhorting remedies of suave chameleon song, by the
Tabby’s table in hypnotic grins and memorizing
Heartbeats in pause, in silent calm broken only by
The rhythm of a small sound, like crows and thrush flittering
In cool feathered hunt, like scraggly whiskered lions
Searching for the beginning of a dream in sleepy
Commune unto the syrups of an icy symphonies borne brilliant
And craving the lizards troth, the snake skin shawls of musical
meanderings and the chrysalis in stasis, waiting for the
lyric of the prey, the purveyor of melancholy rare.
Summer Lullaby
Sour sugars and whiskey rasp, by the blue bearing of
Rhapsodies in cradle sure, the passion of a rocking bough,
Bought by the desires of a breath, trilled and in thrall of a
Birdsong dream, the availing musical force of a ravishing
Reflection in silver bells and tall told poetry
Meandering in a gentle soliloquy of harmonizing crickets,
By chirp, chirp, chancy degrees of summer lullaby
And swing safe same, the social acclaim of babes and
Enchanting secrets of hybrid note, tingly moods tuned by the chorus
of an evening tide sweetness.
Melodies in Rare Wine
Astounding, conveyed in wailing sympathies of
Profound lyric, in ambient waves of clear, crystal embrace,
By the tears of a dawning symphony in dance, in passing song
And wanting desires of spring, like honey-tap smiles and sweet
sanctity infatuated by the butterflies flittering amongst the
Rhythms of taunt strings and burnished hay,
Crying elite in wayward freedoms of swagger and swing,
Sway and raggy creations of nascent sound, trifled in
Wild moments of poetry and nightingale coo, a dream bidden
By the desires of flow and ebb, by the soul of
Wishes and melodies in rare wine.
