Dark thoughts

mellifluous yet
malevolent thoughts race forth
from chaotic homes

none invited yet
inexorably they flood
ebb but brief respite

Vog

once she knew and it
was true, who she was, would be
vog obscures her view

Silence

deafening silence
strain my ear, still cannot hear
luscious tranquil sea

Sun sets

forever leaving
said adieu to every one
sun sets yet rises

Keeper of the flame

she fans the embers
she, the keeper of the flame
our very life’s soul

no roaring fires here
mere flickers hither and yon
subtly safe from harm

Timing is everything

worthless or priceless
time, space, and need, decide it
coal or diamonds

I tried

she was many things
a free but troubled spirit
sunshine and dark clouds

I cleared her path of
stones and other harmful things
twas never enough

Which is the dream

each the other’s night
the life lived while real to one
just the other’s dream

Escape Denial

with finger pointed
she lay blame at many doors
none of them her own

each day she drank but
bitter vetch, ate moldy bread
for none saw her worth

she became blind to
her own true reflection, his
leavings no true meal

take vile memory
in hand, put it in a box
sealed with cross or hex

bury it deep, let
earth disperse it all around
reborn green and clean

ritual frees us
walk away from the grave now
now free just to be

Crimson Chasm

crimson chasm’s charm
fades to sensual shadow
bespeak, be not lie
