My Journey

My Journey


My Journey does not beckon to the swift of heart
or fleet of foot,
but to those who stay the course.

Come magenta colored morning, or ebony emanated evening;
the strictly straight and nonaligned narrow,
the calamitous crooked and wanderlust wide.
Acute anticipation, tick-tack-toe titillation;
a crisis of consideration,
I see smoldering passion
the perception of the Doppler effect,
donny-brook danger in your eyes.

A fetching catch in your voice;
the neophyte smile sketched on your oval face
spreads to your sprawling heart
in spotlight stroked caresses.
Cinnabar carillon touches, basilisk breaths intermingling;
a power surge of inspiration,
rampant reachings and raconteur teachings
display the poetry of matrices feelings
painted with quixotic phrases.

Tingling with reflective meditations
coloratura senses sway emotions;
sweet alyssum weaves with interlacing water lilies
waltzing in 3/4 time.
Adapting with élan easement, flowing flair of the spirited tempo;
we are fine claret,
fluid dancers smoothly changing,
those who write of substance, life, and love.

God Bless!
