The sun went to bed angry.
It sliced itself on the razor's edge of the mountains. Bleeding all over the sky. Rivulets of blood seeping down into the dry River beds. Mars couldn't even soothe it. He glowed red in the sky. Its fury made the moon blood.

Then the sun woke up on the wrong side of the sheets. Dawn was depressed and looked like sludge. Morose clouds muffle my breath. Weakened my lungs cry out for air... And find only fog. The kind of fog that gives you asthma. I have COPD in my emotions, and dust has seeped into my brain.

I call out to the only relief I know. My words bounce off the sky. But later that day a single sunbeam burst through the clouds,  highlighting a pair of butterflies dancing together.

God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform...

above the naked sea,
the wind’s blue
castles
raise their
drawbridges
of air.

Remember when we were in a garden on a bench
Love was to taste from your thirsty beauty to quench
When my heartbeat was with your heart just to clench
My love I want to take you to my heart to entrench

Listen to my heartbeat then you can easily decide
Whether you are ready or otherwise for this ride
Allow me to take you on to love just side by side
Let our heartbeat be just our ultimate eternal guide

Let me take you in my arms to jump to the galaxies
Let us completely be taken over by real love breeze
Let us cross all seven seas in real trance of love please
Let my love talk soul to soul forgetting need of bodies

Alive as a stone is cold, frozen,
Unmoved as drying statuary -
No blood was running in my veins,
No song was sung behind my brain.

Was I black as rock in wintry shroud?
Was I a phantasm that caught your eye?
My ends were sewn, threaded with hands,
That room, with you, was clothed in dream.

And I slept in a loft that chastened all airs,
I lived in a box which you buried out there,
Out in the hollows of the winds and rains,
I fear I was dead, before we became.
