silenced?
where there is no sound
dwells no time nor thought nor soul
silence is a myth

windsong (visual version)
elegy for an abandoned cat
flute through my hair
your lullabies
and bless me where
the willow sighs
while here prostrate
upon her bed
i softly wait
to ease my head
of long, long years
of dread and pain
from love’s swift spears
and life’s disdain
your bugle blow
across the hills
where idly grow
the daffodils
for when they dance
my heart forgets
the torn romance
on which it frets ...
flute through my hair
your lullabies
and bless me where
the willow sighs
while here prostrate
upon her bed
i softly wait
to ease my head
of long, long years
of dread and pain
from love’s swift spears
and life’s disdain
your bugle blow
across the hills
where idly grow
the daffodils
for when they dance
my heart forgets
the torn romance
on which it frets ...

perhaps to dream (visual version)
A first-collab effort between Tallen & cabcool]
please take your time
i just woke up
high on my first black cup
my coffee shift
conjures the sun
confessing night is done
the early morn
when night is gone
leaves dream stuff on the dawn
of memories
of bygone days
when hopes were still ablaze
abort the sun
for dream and wake
give me an equal ache
oblivion
swift flames cascade
deep-kissed within my head

'tis better not to marry than to burn
perchance fate leaves love’s passions taciturn
go kiss a mountaintop and celebrate
the joys known only to the celibate
a simple lesson fickle souls must learn
‘tis better not to marry than to burn
your eve might slyly to her serpent run
and leave conjugal liberties undone
a wanton kiss may spark a frantic flame
ere fate decides love’s but a passing game ...

me
she loves
she loves me
she loves him not
i know she loves me
she lets me kiss her lips
down where the river runs deep
neath the tranquil shades of evening
where eavesdropping birds are piping
down where the river runs deep
she lets me kiss her lips
i know she loves me
she loves him not
she loves me
she loves

when grief darkness

drinks of the ocean that flows
from the heart thus inundated
soon the cup can weep no longer
flotsam and jetsam retreat

warmed by the sunrise
find new courage

silent, soft, and still
smile nor scowl upon his face
