Overlook the Sea

All along shatter-colored rooftops
crimson terra cotta
tarnished, green copper drains
to the ocean down below

you the sage

the wise one
a seer into lives lived

a man whos gone

and traveled unto

the layers of time

and lives of other minds

great seer

distance traveler

echoes in the next room
beckon a million miles

warm crackling vibrations emenate from
the speakers transmit from another time
Drifting along thos sundrenched rooftops
Seabirds dart and dive
around your weightless frame
you drift and meander
in between cumulous
and air so sweet
glints of light on the ocean shore
we circle up here for time
Out over the curving horizon
ships dot the white capped sea
the captain scrutinizes the dials
gently touches the pinned photo
of his Meredith
She cradling their child
in summer dress and clothes line
She on the widow watch
waiting for her long gone lover
and giver of life to return
their boy cradled cooing in her arms
her breasts keep him warm
ocean breeze blows in
from the West
the grasses sweep in
the evening thrusts
rocky soils birth
earthen blooms
blue dusty tones
succulent and tight to their bearer
rich horizon

sweeping striate casts of amber,

blue ochre, incandescant licks of blaze
sun sets on muldoon bay
ocean swells into its berth
impregnates its sanctuary cove
lunar pulling
the way of a good lover
in and out
strife and grace
she calls to you at dawn

leaves you feeling empty
than when she was

lying across the end

of your bed

late afternoon light basked
She returns at dusk
movement
bodies are one
magnetic attraction
give and take
unto you
into me
