Burn flame burn!
Feed my soul's quick light
With stolen fires
Of delight
...
I praise God for your beauty and subtle grace
For the pleasure of your presence in this world
...
Bound by chastities of spirit and not flesh
Christ's tempered gold with true gold will mesh
Blessed souls expand in silken glow of bliss -
Full heaven - surely waiting is worth all of this
...
So definitively ended and,
as needed, undefended
Without amicable illusions
Just destructively defusioned
...
I wait for a silken ether of blue
To surround my senses and enshroud my fears
Somnolently still I stand before you
Consumed, yet soliciting your temperate ears
...
I wade through blood red crocuses, past fleeting hills
I must and will reach the shore that haunts my memory still
Haggard trees which rise in sentinality
Wildly crashing boughs strain my tenacity
...
Anonymous I grew
Andromeda in waiting
with crystal blues and shimmering dances
the breath of Eden promising
...

Frieze Fire
Moments flicker by
like fading F i r e f l i e s
frieze them in amber
- wisps of light that wanted to die
