Poetry for the wandering heart

Ron Koppelberger

Brave Whispers

The place of rattle boned spirit and rooted, relevant

Love, a fine-spun thread of flowing silk spun by the

Distance between dusk and morning-tide discovery,

A luxury raving the desire of scarlet assurance and

Tender smiles in vesture of blessings decreed, in fashion

Of heaven and ecstasy, a tenuous fiber in brave whispers

Of vaunt.

Ron Koppelberger

Cotton Candy

Sweet dander and glowing roses

Of fine-spun sugar, a delectable savor

Of necessity and unbroken youth, the tears of tolerable

Desire allayed and comforted by

The nectar and web of cotton confection,

By the promise of dreams and candy wishes, by the

Tangle of warm treasures in wanton tastes of

                                                                            Cotton candy.

Ron Koppelberger

Deeply Drifting

The spirit of spoils and eyes in passionate alluring

Assurance, a vagabond verve, an eagle in breeds of

Born play, in remembrance of elder assay and egret,

Feathered flights in believing hunts of honor and bounty,

A strength in seals of silver

And ash, smoke and tendrils of deeply

Drifting excellence.

Ron Koppelberger

Beseeching Night

Coinciding with the cold blooded thirst of an agony in acquiescent

Degrees of shadow, the cool affinity of a silken

Weave in design of satisfying suspect, by quivering

Droplets of dew and spun cocoons of hungry appetite,

A child of abeyant darkness and eyes beset upon the want of

A seductive need and a sanguine source of passion,

The commingled desires of a beseeching night blessed by the assurances

Beloved by the gentle breath of a passing

Moment in waiting perfections of patience.

Ron Koppelberger

Bidden Sun

Unhitched and branded by scarce bones and taunt flesh,

By the mystery of circles

And revolutions in ash,

An emissary in shadow, in twilight,

In towns torn by the wont of wrangled excess

And dire desires, the whisper of rumored

Miracles deterred by the eclipse of a bidden

Sun.
