MIRABILIA

Gather strands of sable into my hands

And claret of the noble on my sour lips

Bare my chest to taste colors of affection

Shed no tears in the womb of a pantheon 

Still, I catch the whisperings so solemn

Like the muttering of a possessed child

Besprinkling remains at places of haven

A ghost of defiance anchoring the mind

You shaved to scalp and burnt them on pyres

Bleeding your whole essences into those rites

From fragile veins down the lungs of tomorrow

Reciting the books as unsheathed verses bestow

Upon the body of a warrior amidst broken pages

Destiny and deliverance in a sepulcher of voices

Cease sorrowing, my love

Douse your flaming

Quiet your wailing

Ease your raging

Be calm with me

For as the soft rays caress your cheeks

Waking you from slumbering streams

My desperate ardor, a present succor

To kiss the pining off your forehead

I stand ever watchful and unsleeping

The brotherhood of arms at your behest

Yet, if this perforated core should fail me still

My voice beckoning moans only in divine dreams

Clearing the shadows distancing my soothing reach

That I may hush fevered cries with lilting comfort

To drain arctic pools overflowing angsty mints

I will pen ambient paeans for you

Lay burdens of spirit upon the priestess

Goddess speckled scarlet into my fortress

When the sun sets ever so slowly

And the seasons pass too swiftly

As the earth rolls onward steadily

Yesteryears drowning your calling

Capturing the ribbons of yearning

Dimming the ebullience of longing

When words within sight become blurred lines

And thought is with grief aligned

When hours pour into your skin like glass grains

Filtering through your toenails

When chants seal mouth with threads of silence

Embroidering counsels in braille

When invocations confers the gifts of desire

And incantations possess the wings of passion

When you find us in the dauntless

And spy me in the humble ones

Accept your peculiarities fully

For we were, are, to be surely

Remember, tumble into me

Know I am nearest as on that Wintery morn

When I beheld a mirabilia of remembrance

An apparition above the landscape of white

As the boon of beauty led my ardent quest

Your endearing fragrance tumbling into me

Burgundy boots with child-like excitements

Gamboling with glee into fluffy snow heaps

Seducing giggles that stole my breath away

Such devotion that flooded me with awe

Speaking no barriers, scripting no limits

Giving everything for the impossibilities

Adventurer with powers in your pores

And as the clock ticks by and spaces gently fade

Your air will not be stolen nor die the strain of sounds

Your creative views in vibrancy vast and wildly alive

Brighter than any precious stone I have ever known

The sun to paint you visions, clouds to glance delights

The moon to polish your lashes with tones of the winds

Safekeeping the memories of all the treasured days

Wondrous imaginations, beautiful and ever young

Remember, when platinum bends to neat

And sterling melts at the stroke of heat

As sparkling metals take new forms

And age molds your body timeless

Read farther than the flesh

Reach beyond the horizon

Do tumble into me

Fixedly and devotedly, I will adore your different shells

Striving on behind you, beside you, and ahead of you

Paving the straight, rough, and narrow that you tread

Through Continents, Islands, and places of wonders

As the world's proud Empires pass on into history

As my hair salt silver and your heart glows golden

And raindrops from the heavens turn to tongues

They will never be sufficient to profess my love

For one charmed with me past the boundless

No relative measures will be long enough

To sail the mad scales of life with you

But let us start with endlessly

I Totally Always Love You
