The Ogre and the Sprite: Poetry Snippets

The Ogre and the Sprite


She gaps the cavity
That holds my unbeating heart,
Subtly tapping her left index and thumb
And suddenly—
Jumpstart!

She drifts away across the coastal cliffside,
A spirit at twilight,
And I follow,
Tethered by a bond both ethereal
And taut.

--August 25

Silken tresses
I am lost in the tree-bark locks dipping to your spider waist
Falling headfirst into brown eyes
I am lost in the capacity of your love.
*
I would die with your name on my lips.
Is this the texture-the glow-the expansionary nature of Love?

-August 26

I wake: my Heart is Singing
That heart has never sung
Only hummed
Yet now for You it Sings

My spirit Glows
Surrounded in gold mist
Like pixie dust you’ve
Sprinkled over me.

My spirit floats
Before me floats an
Ornament
Silver and gold.
I am the silver base
My Love, you are the gold
Encircling my globe.

--Sept. 2
