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
