Volcano of Desire, by Edward Ferrand (USA) contemporary

Volcano of Desire
 
When we are together
I am gentle as a dove in your hand.
A supernova of leaves blossom above us,
while a magma of love 
overflows the moonlit night.

Your Love Sees Through Me

Blue kisses in the night
lift me to new heights of passion
where birds take flight
over a field of black and white checkered dreams
into a constellation of light.

Sleeping Dogs Lie, by Edward Ferrand (USA) contemporary

​Sleeping Dogs Lie

Memories dog me nightly. 
This is the incontrovertible dogma of dreams
keeping me hamstrung and unable to flee
from dogs or dilemmas 
that leave me helpless on my pillow.
