Eagles And Roses

We are only bound by our thoughts.
For if there be confinement,
It is born of personal choice.
You and I can settle and become
Robins in flight and budding violets,
Or capture our dreams
And grow to eagles and roses.

Performance Art

Prismatic colored ribbons arched afar,
Like a scratch on Father Sky's face.
Are you merely a routine refraction,
A common reflection, an ordinary
Dispersion of light?

Are you really a mystical wonder
To ponder in silence?

Of Thee I Sing

By my hand I caress you.
With these lips I kiss you.
In my heart I hold you.
With these eyes I see
Only you.
