shade bleeds a velvet texture
stretching far and wide
strides to smother
clawed hands grasping thread
rip apart layers to shed
bear the stains of men
rise and swagger free
struggle to breathe
steps in spites deceit
skipping stones of jaded need
trail of tears in layered debris
vacant rows of burdened clay
broken back gathering neat
harvesting the last belief



Terry D’Arcy-Ryan

twilights habitual reach
trickles soft
arises a shade covering
drapes the frame to a view
imposes with a lean
lounges in a requiem
perched upon a window brink
fallen sleepless again
gazing the horizon

inspires a simple measure
the shimmer closer
a marvel of visible light
strikes the window blind
touches battered and savage
scatters in a sea of sparks
impressions delight
the agony to defy
the stars falling from my eyes
 
a push to a step
a plunge in the luminesce ...

fear drives the dark
death rides sight unseen  
devise a wicked threshold  
miles gained catching sleep  
lost dreams and vague debris  
passers by and in between  
the momentum of obscurity
 
time is the flicker of a snap
flees an instance  
outline against brights beam  
a moving silhouette
breathes in sweet regret
the weight of grief  
hanging from trees  
a slow swing of the dead
 
the tears of misery bleed
soon to seed
sharp stabs seeking green  
a means to plunge...
