Butterfly Piano
Keys
caressed
by fingers
gently stroking
black and ivory
sweet music sets us free
crimson blood thrums in our veins
as intangible passions stir
on wings of enchanted butterfly
resonating in hollows of my heart
take me to this place of serenity
your wings cover mine, softly guide me
chills down my spine, the song begins
our spirits take flight at dusk
delicate pas de deux
as two souls entwine
eternally
let each note
light the
dark

To Mingle With Shooting Stars
To Mingle With Shooting Stars
These tired bones ache
and the futile tears fall
undetected, unrelenting,
like soft rain on a summer day.
The wind stills in deference
to a radiant light rising up,
drawing closer, closer
as I crawl to the precipice.
I am about to take my last voyage,
a great leap in the dark
where faith meets fate,
where screams in dreams are silenced.
Will I fall like a lead weight
or sprout butterfly wings;
sink into the fiery depths
or ascend a stairway to heaven?
Plunged into the frigid darkness,
holy water seeps through my skin,
coming clean of past transgressions,
purifying my tarnished soul.
Thunder shakes heaven and earth,
the sentinel angels have spoken;
my body and spirit finally set free
to mingle with shooting stars.
