Sunrise Upon a Hull

March 29, 2017 by Dale 4 Comments

Sunset In Ship's Cracks

Sun sets upon the Shipyard cracks The horizon Painted on in layers Weathered By storms and brine Peeling the crust From atop the snow Life is an iron Skeleton beneath Penetrating history Rusted gold Bleeds from background I touch the bark Of a dry-docked hull And the earth Falls in flakes to the ground And…

Light of My Ambience

January 15, 2017 by Dale 7 Comments

Candle Flame

Quiet darkness is replaced By the warmth of candlelight Casting singularity A couple merge in shadows Your love is a glowing flame I’m mesmerized in your dance. I stare into liquid eyes A moth captured in moonlight. I’m wedded to your ring of fire Every night wine and steak dinner. My life is warm candlelight…

Salt of My Earth

November 15, 2016 by Dale 1 Comment

I lay my heart deep in the earth formed in the hot press of your arms your tears the rivers of veins. I gush with your sadness but I am given life by your joy tasting life’s passions in each season. Trodden underfoot, a desert dies, seeking an oasis in a mirage of plenty a…

Unwrap Me

July 25, 2016 by Dale 5 Comments

Hibiscus Bud

Wrapped into a curl Tongues turned into a kiss Hearts open ablaze. Summer into bloom Sugar damp upon her skin A cherry on top. Unwrap my syrup Lick the swollen folds open Make my flower bloom. Peach fuzz upon my rose Swollen moist awaiting you Touch my spirit’s core. I am forever Blooming bright against…
