Spilling from pages, in mysterious ways

Spirits unfold, in a mystical haze

Open the book, and magic appears

Bound, indeed, to the celestial sphere

Floating on air, they dance as you read

Wafting with words, is all that they need

To bring you life, from the far beyond

Watching you closely, as you respond

To the joys they breathe, and you take it all in

Turning the pages, again and again

You were electrically charged

Swift bolts of jagged edges

Held up by clouds, but you,

You couldn’t be contained

Too powerful to be harnessed

Too fiery to be claimed

As the gods of thunder roared

And the battle pursued

You fought til the end

Quietly making your way

Across the blackened skies

Do not rush through life

Take it slowly, step by step

To reach journey’s end

There was a time

when the words

flowed like a waterfall,

an endless cascade

of letters, gathering

together like waves

in the ocean, crashing

down in a sigh, then

slipping away once again.

This is where my life will end,

like the bottom of a riverbed,

dried up, seared by the heat

of the daytime star, scarred

where words no longer

can bleed brittle memories,

merely to fall away,

an invisible page

The night that covets salacious dreams

Begs to elicit forbidden scenes

Uncovers the mask of Jezebel ways

Red against pale, in splendid array

You’ll revel in the beauty of emerald eyes

As she lures you to her with an innocent guise

Radiating heat, like a ruby afire

She will never unveil her lubricious desire

Still, she’ll capture your soul with subtle deception

While using her body with wicked intention
