A Triolet Sequence

Entries From The Diary Of A Lover Maddened With Your Beauty

 

Paean

In woods more dark than the darkest dungeon
I languish
lost, alone, besieged with doubt
entreating oracles like King Creon

imprisoned in this damned self made dungeon
great Apollo, hear my humble paean
prostrate before your temple gate
devout
I plead to escape this hellish dungeon
where night is darker than the blackest doubt.

 

 

From a Distance the Impressions of a Voyeur

Lurid in silver moonlight,
your shape on the wave washed dune,
an enchanted, ancient sprite,
captures me in the moonlight.
Your song like some bird of night,
an encompassing monsoon,
enticing in the moonlight
your dance on the wave washed dune.

 

 

All The Things You Are

You are the one who rocks my soul with love;
Your tempting smile replaces tedium.
You are tender as a stalk of foxglove

None but you shakes my core with shocks of love.
My sprite, you are my ball and chain
by Jove!
You are my blossom, my Spring trillium;
In summer, fall or winter my sweet love
Your fictive wink replaces tedium.

 

 

Like Moonshine

The nectar of your kiss
Lingers on my warm lips
I am drowned in our bliss!
The nectar of our kiss,
roaring ocean abyss,
intense, like an eclipse,
your aphrodisiac kiss,
aggressive on my lips.

 

 

 

 

Triolet

Vive la Différence

Being différent is art
yet, the dance must have some class;
true, tango makes you look smart.
Oh yes, différence is art!
But, beware, oh faint of heart,
too différent makes an ass;
because différence is art
invent a dance with some sass
