Secret Message In A Bottle

the bottle was empty
the tide brought it in.
the sun was bowing out
to make way for the stars.

it was capped with a cork,
it was the message.

rugiada (Italian)

abbattuti il cuore di un colibrì
solo per sentire il tuono
le lacrime nutriti prato

dew

culled a humming bird's heart
just to hear thunder
her tears fed the meadows

Haiku version

This is hard to chew
I do not like the flavour
I won't forget this

the promise

i have kept every word.
every sordid detail carved into yellowed paper.
when you are gone,
they will be my sustenance.

Chalk flavored words
you know them well
don't eat yellow snow
and, don't put flaming shit out
with your boots on!!

Fancy words uttered, nasty words replied...
Does anyone really know the tone ?
The weight of words with no volume...

Muse

Consume me entirely
Let me strengthen your body
And inspire your mind
With thoughts of divinity
And whispers of sorrow
From fallen angel's lips
