Emanating deep from the spatial ice
bountiful caves of phosphorescent blue;
the air within teethed with a charming bite
laced with the husky scent of earthen dew,
...
To Mount Teide the Guanches prayed
and quelled its fiery mouth
for they well knew its lava slew
all that fell in its path.
...
At noon, the coursers jet their cryptic wings,
and trill adventure with the blithest lays
reviving colors of the satin spring
darting among the green leafed golden rays.
...
Before the last hope of mankind failed
Buried in the earth with unexpressed glory
His dreams that reached beyond heavenly scale
fester unrealized in purgatory.
...
The joy that your heart brings
to me is a simple, precious thing
and has inspired me to sing
to you this song.
...
Why do I need so much of you?
What is it that I am hoping you will satisfy?
Can you fill my void?
Will you become my vice,
...
My world is changed, O magnificent night!
Boundless and wondrous as the sea is strong
surmounting day extinguishing all light,
dark eyed mysterious beauty, carbon
...
Each thought you sound through your soft verse
I replay them to my ear
and each next line is to the first
a melody sweet to hear
...
How long shall I wallow in lesser truths
to mend this trembling heart, too frail to touch,
my words are weak and lack a steely proof
that must risk all when all is not enough.
...
