me mori es
predictability lends no deficit
to the constancy
of my desires
the loudest thought of anguish around
at times are where
my silences begin
you - for instance, if you still insist
to know what do i happen
to miss the most
to the constancy
of my desires
the loudest thought of anguish around
at times are where
my silences begin
you - for instance, if you still insist
to know what do i happen
to miss the most

deus ex machina
we lie upon chastened bed
and make bitter love
and nurture naked spaces
with bruised words of silent hurt
even let a wisp of evening dusk
in haste brush our day aside
and latter while i ensure you
pull the gate close after us
i also hear the leaves laugh
as they gently fall between
and make bitter love
and nurture naked spaces
with bruised words of silent hurt
even let a wisp of evening dusk
in haste brush our day aside
and latter while i ensure you
pull the gate close after us
i also hear the leaves laugh
as they gently fall between

re flection
the less now i find to speak
the more that i tend to know
when i lose my temper with thee
i find you also to be at ire with me
soon as i make my amends with thee
oh you have done the same with me
still the more i keep regrets about thee
much the less of peace you bring to me
and yet how i wish not to be all of thee
you remark likewise aswell not to be me
all that i torment to ask now of thee
merely reflect my replies of you to me
upon realization now thus of thee
thine own lessons dawn upon me...
the more that i tend to know

re ar ran g ed
i sweep clean
the temple garden
as Your visit is
made known today.
i am asked to be
aware and in know
of all You may
wish of me to show
and so gladly
with much of heart
i plunge to redo
a spring in haste
the wispy weeds
i neatly pull
i comb the moss
and trim the shrubs
the fence I mend
and drain the pipes
i shower and water
every growth of green
autumn leaves, i rake
them afar, out of sight
in a heap, to be scorched
after You...

dolce far niente
at peace
to keep watch
as moments saunter
one at a time
to be still
disconnected
between each emotions
entirely alone

coven ant
i could write
that you are happy
even better; with me
not around to be
i could even brag
that you are content
now that you know
to let me, just be me
that you are happy
even better; with me
not around to be

that you are content

con cup i scent
naked jagged
endless etches
of exposed
sepia tints
furtively converge
before
byzantine chimeras
regroup to
reinstate a semblance
of nubile mien
spread claw like
lost lingering
thoughts tighten; as much
your fingertips, i
inchoately crave
endless etches
of exposed
sepia tints
furtively converge
before
byzantine chimeras
regroup to
reinstate a semblance
of nubile mien
spread claw like
lost lingering
thoughts tighten; as much
your fingertips, i
inchoately crave

counterfoil
a stench
of tight wound
in propria persona
my brother’s brother
so close to me
i flee
of tight wound
in propria persona
my brother’s brother
so close to me
i flee

unfinished
tales of
greed hang
half consumed
weighing the bough
down
much as be it
told, dissected and
retold; the
bunch of guilt
blooms
merely left
benign, even
like listless lures
of tales simply
untold
