Sun Bath

Hub of holy torment
accumulates again
but bare trodden hard feet
tougher than the train
plays in smiles
unconscious paranoia

In the sun a fleeting dream
where two the twain meet
shade aging passes through longing
to rise in morning adornment
satisfied till night

a beauty all her own
sand in eyes blown
tears in heat melt
and mirror hewn

never too soon
never too late
eat up the days
and dates

trump up the daze
the power too strong
follow along
come
smile

mile after mile words chatter on
momentary living in zeal for the zest
for the tears and the smile
for the tender minds eye
staring at me
attentive hallucinations
fantasy breathes
clasp hold down
fluid it works

den to leave and dreams to come
chaos is clean in wild abandonment
may the pains
meld
and friendships failed
weld
these fingers in freedom
and these hearts in love.
