The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Redolence of Resolution

You woke me to daydreams while you blushed
ravished by your ardent resolution rising
and the synergistic commingling of 
gunsmoke lingering over pearlescent tulle

Just a boy swinging his broken stick
at the unobtainability of dragonbirth
while the unwashed soil the ramparts
flooding the teacakes with porridge means

Just a girl bringing her crumpets to market
while passing the silver gloved displays
so much bread left to bake into pies
dreading the dearth of foraged leans

I chose you from afar despite the panoply
embraced your long ruddy-haired neck
and the dissolution of our binary stars
so much stardust lingering over a muddy fool
