“Midnight”

The sunset sky,

was smothered,

in a blanket of

midnight-molasses…

A viscous backdrop,

against which,

nestled

vows, visions

and persistent prayers…

Saturated,

by worldly requests,

pouring, upward,

as, velvet treacle,

in defiance of

earthenware gravity.

Tears,

melifluous,

bittersweet,

with longing,

fell,

in covert cascades,

landing,

in the laps

of terra firma,

to be supped,

by hibernating seeds,

in need of

empathetic emphasis…

…in need of

dawn’s horizon,

to draw a line,

under the hours,

and the memories,

long, gone.

“New Beginnings”

At the doorstep of your Soul,

I knock, for entry to your heart…

to hear the echoes in its chambers,

to learn the old broom, which knows the corners,

has given way to the new.

To discover you are ready to dust off the past,

for a clean sweep of

everlasting Love and Happiness.
