In The Dark
darkness flows
spreading thin
like maple syrup
sweet
and suffocating
sticky
oozing filling
nooks and crannies
calming
daylight’s frenzy
prey and
predators
camouflaged
in shadow
cloaked
in silence
brief rustles
and growls
life and death
indistinguishable
darkness flows
like maple syrup
sweet
and suffocating

Teething Shadows
shadows teething
prowling like sabers
only prey knows
how sharp it bites into meet
the daytime to the nighttime
then to hang time

August
The August rain
Sudden grey
Swift but rich
Goes the day
Sunset comes
Colors play
In a sky of
Shifting rays
And night deepens
And stars array
And in the heavens
The moon does stray
Sudden grey
Swift but rich
Goes the day
Sunset comes
Colors play
In a sky of
Shifting rays
And night deepens
And stars array
And in the heavens
The moon does stray

Eye of Night
dragon wing floating
on the expanse of night
its head swallowing
eye of mortuitous flight
belly embodiment
waxing the fullness of light
ejecting black fire
cometing celestial might

Sleep
Sleep is but a gentle nudging
Of the brain
A peaceful journey into darkness
Life's steady refrain
A quieting of the mind
For which it's absence
Makes for a certain somberness
That can not be easily relieved

Gloaming
Love,
Let’s lay out in
A field of wildflowers,
In lavender air
And evening glow,
Breathing deep
And kissing slow.

Hope
After the darkest night, daybreak.
After the fiercest storm, calm.
After the toughest battle, peace.
Hope. Espoir. Speranza.
Always. Toujours. Sempre.

Summer’s dance (Titles)
Lost in a moment
Between sunflowers’
Shadow of former glory;
The silent twilight
Winds of autumn
Follow me.

Wings of Night4
listen to the dark
it will tell you
where the empty hearts are
beating before time
as the fallen stars far
crafted by hands
borealis poles scarred
flashed into the night
wings bloodied eyes
filled future to fly
it will tell you
where the empty hearts are
beating before time
as the fallen stars far
crafted by hands
borealis poles scarred
flashed into the night
wings bloodied eyes

BODIES BONDING
Bodies bonding,
full responding
to caresses
and hot kisses
placed all over
bods sans cover
of the clothing
now a-lying,
the light of moon
calling the tune.

instinctive
Vamp-pressing
Phoenician petals
eyes heavy with lustre
painting
Imperial firmament
igniting empyrean
winged Crux
floating firebrands
carving
pneumatic chromatic skies

Corpses on My Fingers
In the dark of the night,
They put up not a fight,
As I pick fruit flies out of my coffee,
I have corpses on my fingers, sorry.
...What a sobering thought.
