Finale Poem
I sit and think what it would be like
To be next to you again.
I can feel my body twirling
Lifted from its seat
Levitated in a spiral
A ballerina's pirrouet
A skater's spiral
Arms lifted in joy
Undulating in the vortex
of you.
I wonder
What your next victim feels
Now.
I lay and think what it would be like
to have you prone beside me.
No rest or peace for you,
A quivering repose,
Arrow taut to go
I couldn't keep you.
Will she?
Colors
Colors of the mind
Fill the painted panel's edge,
With reds in copious amount.
Strands of turquoise
Like the sea
Spin and twirl up to it ledge.
The perimeter of paint
Spilling into the world
Knowing no boundary
And the colors of the heart.
Colors of the heart
Light his face
With smiles of dappled sunlight
And the greens of the sheltering trees.
The yellow dancing hues
In his thoughts of her
Careening in joyous motion
Around and around
Busting through the blue boundaries
In the colors of the mind.
Dreamland
Slightly anticipating the tiny clock in her head,
She rolled over and followed the dream back to its world.
Random players, spoke random wisdom
In the nerve ending warmth of the down comforter.
Melt flesh to the fibers of the mattress till it jars you to wake,
Hitting bottom of the float in a grinding stop
of daylight.
