Odd Attire
summer sleeves
frills and ruffles
dated, full of remembrance
of memory, not-yet-conceived
in the material
energetic
contrivance
best laid patterns
time space
gathered
pleats and gingham
matrical algorithms
hand in hand
fingertips and a heavy-gloved grip
cosmonaut chic, I think the brainiacs
call your ensemble
as usual
you are over-protected
over-dressed but intrigued
with my near nakedness
risqué bodice
lack of spaghettification
or internal combustion
how does she stay warm in that
over each other
we both ponder
what an odd way
to attire
for the exploration
of eternity
Resonate Together
a divine ribbon
pulsating sanguine
waves and particles
bent and twisted
by an aged father
in response to the whims
of an ageless
ever-evolving mother
she will not die
she will not be bound
she will not stay the same
the father weaves on
out of everything, or nothing
he creates some thing
he strums a fibrous tattoo
syncopated and a beat behind
sounds waves travel and decay
upon the collision of being heard
she dances
always her mind ahead of the tune
still he composes and frets on
just for her
if he can overcome the constant
the demands of an illuminated meter
she will slow
he can catch-up
they will resonate together

The moon shines
Only in darkness
Only when it faces the sun
There are times
The earth blocks the moon
From the sun
Then too, the earth
Is in darkness
The moon knows
The earth knows
To welcome the dark
To welcome the rest
It is the natural way of things
Soon there will be light
The earth knows
To welcome the glow of the moon
Then too it has light in the dark
link to spoken word
Shine when the Tao asks you to shine
Bask in the glow of others
Rest when the Tao has given you darkness

That first stanza in and of itself is incredibly sexy. How fun would it be to walk with that woman hand in hand in the moonlight.
Or float in a vacuum:)
Thank you:)
Nice work on those shots.
Thanks Paul:)
