still through the melodies
of evening light, notes
of serenity and seclusion
search for companionship.
crescendos of conclusions
speak in riddles to minds
open with pleasure.

Mnemosyne - memory herself,
and her daughters, the Muses
are the chorus of
jubilant desire.
stay with me tonight
and sing along in
verses of i, you and us.

i am drunk in thought
and delight in an
interplay of words.
you - logic and contemplation -
past lovers - embrace me
in the same moonlight
i found you in.

and with all its feathers,
hope too, has come halfway
in delivering me from the
mundane. beauty
in her bold guise of a dream
is the best companion
to wake up with.

to share the first rays
of the new rising sun,
to reach for an
ineffable Expression -
and in ending,
to drift into the last phases
of the waning moon.

hands clenched.
thoughts adrift.
skin of desert.
searching...
is this my invitation
to the sweet taste
of now?
