Lost In Reverie

 you are
the silent witness
that tells
no lies

a mute confidante
that holds
all secrets 

behind the smile

no line or flaw
is hidden

you reveal things 

as they are

without fear
of reprisal

you bare both
beauty  and blemish

with cold neutrality

 the phantoms
crawling
in one's head
the angst and
trepidations
buried deep in
one's heart
all these chimeras
remain
clandestinely
subdued

unless the master
so exposes

and as the day dawns
when you
can no longer
hold your
silence
you shatter
into pieces
carrying with you
a thousand riddles
ensconced in
countless
glistening
shards

Getting High on Sobriety

free at last

from your strong hold

no longer at 

your beck and call

past the clammy hands

and cold sweats

the splitting headaches

and annoying palpitations

i thirst no more

for your ephemeral comfort

i can look at you

right in the face

and couldn't care less

sobriety is my new name

now i wake up each morning

with a natural high

Life's Splendor

the splendor of life

lies in the fire within that

awaits rekindling...

Sealed With A Kiss

 The Kiss
.....................

your sweet lips against mine

sent a shiver down my spine

a promise of a lifetime

that love shall remain sublime

sealed with a kiss so divine
