Light

sometimes I feel
more plant than animal
storing up sunshine
for those overcast days

Circadian Rhythms

who wakes alone?

there are those of us
who greet the sun
or otherwise brush
silently the moon

fingertips
wingtips

Renewal

Let me be the sun or moon
who may go dark for a while
but comes back
ever brighter

Orbits

let us take our time in love
and the pace be pleasing
to both of us

though the tide recedes
and the sun and moon cycle
countless and dauntless

we forge slowly for
an eternity
stronger than
the gravity
of their orbits

A Bright Light

What sweet words have I
against the succor of your eyes
which find me a flame
while mine reflect
a similar brightness?

Together we outshine the sun;
We have no need for moon or stars

Seaside Augury

espying abandoned boats
on the shore
the visitor worries
that the tide will come in
and carry them afar

the locals laugh
tap
their bare wrists
and point towards
the sun

Mild Sun

Meager are my words
to entice your ardor
but safe are these arms
open to you in harbor.

For passion soon
spends its wily self
and wrecks my heart’s
most fragile health.

So I love you
in those subtle ways
that promise not only nights
but all my days.

Warmth radiates
everlasting

If you choose
a mild sun
for the basking.

Beloved

Even asleep
Radiance that warms me
To the marrow

Earthbound

Celestial pearl
In a womb
Of blue iridescence
Beyond —
Starry wonders

Capricious

Pursing coquettish lips,
doe-eyed suns leer
from black-etched prints
and feign childhood innocence;
a disappearance
on a cold spring day
exasperates enamored suitors.
