leaking to dawn

Deep sleepless night
Blissful unretentive slumber
Eludes fatigued mind
Days pale reflection
Endless repetition
Pensive thoughts racing
Elusive bed torments
Seeking comfort
Sheets tangled
Hot to cold
Voiding sleep
Ceilings shadows
Dance sway sing
Hidden rhythms
Faint words
Seem as echoes
Passing night
leaking to dawn

Constrained freedom

Leather clad rider
Astride bikes of fire
Sun touched asphalt ribbon
Wind blown solitude
Legs tightly gripping
In my ear provoking laughter
Gusty tempest taunts
Caged drivers looks
Passive glares
Envious stares
Throttles hand restrained
Constrained freedom
Road reaches sky

We read Neruda’s passion
Drinking tequila and kissing

Tease fleeing youth
Weary smiles hinting

Refracted effigy
Lock gaze reflection
Moments ponder

Last calls summons
Tempts my mind
Unspoken offer

One more, to go
Drunken kisses
Taste best
