Craig H. Stewart Poems

Unexpected festive mess we sing into the night,
I hear a happy siren song entwine around my own,
Smiling laughter, perfume lingers, warm around my neck,
I turn and see her, heartbeat drumming loudly in my chest,
...

The best things in life are unexpected,
Like a red tailed arrow, loosed in the dark,
Flying straight and true to hit the bulls-eye,
The mark,
...

My heart is adrift, from black-less depths I gape and gulp another stone into my guts, bubbled burp from Davy Jones adrift and muffled softly popping foam, atop the cresting buttresses I gaze into the dark...

in sensed with extra vascular implosion, a sense of outside turning in from azure to crimson, flimsy tendrils fall from high above and join into the dance, i can't remember time or space or place, i have you, still...
...

An inward breath, sharp, but not distressed,
As flesh is kissed and stroked, caressed,
My finger tips press like dewdrops rest,
On gossamer strands of spiders web.
...

As I lay down, resting head on perfumed earth,
caring fingers caress my ears and kiss my neck,
whispering a thousand words.
As blade of grass dances to wind's serenade,
...

Endless questions nestled resting,
Cucooned, Complex, Crystaline,
Effervescent sparkling wonder,
Bringing truth into the light,
...

The fires have burned low to shimmering embers,
Scattered across the floor like a million dying suns
they sputter their last into the cold, smoking sand.
...

eloquent rapture charged through synapse trees
purest sunlight strikes and peals,
amongst the echoes now i feel
awakened.
...

A light in times of cuspid shadow,
Dancing fire to fight the grey,
Smiles and thankful laughter lifts me,
Free from where I dwell each day,
...

a flame in the night, beacon.
warmth and hope, beckon,
to be with friends and banish the night,
pull a loved one close and tight,
...
