Less Pinions
Deep, the dark of silence
Cold tomorrow's sod
Bones of Forgotten Souls
Deep emotions ago...
Now toothless old crow
Less the pinions grow
Cold tomorrow's sod
Bones of Forgotten Souls
Deep emotions ago...
Now toothless old crow
Less the pinions grow

~ hypervigilance ~
I wish someone would have told me that the effortless ability to indulge every fiber of my being into all of those that came my way- would leave me cauterizing my surging wounds.
I wonder if I still would have chosen to be the same temporary home.
Or to love I would have become immune.
Or if I would have chosen to tear the flesh off of the first person who did me wrong with bear hands and wear it over my skin.
Or if I would have so carefully sliced into their chest to grip their rotting heart.
While I watched the blood run down my...

Just Visiting
Let’s turn the lights off, dance like lovers,
we have no eyes, but they who watch
showing us how to touch.
Conjuring us with candles and chants, how silly
they sit and look, so serious while we are just
visiting.
Why are we not wanted when this is our life, our feet
touching the surface?
Let us be your voyeurs to the living. Our
time to walk among the flesh, not wanting
to say our goodbyes, and yet some go mad
waiting in between.

Nighttime
In the distance
Dogs bark
In an instance
As trees weave in the breeze
Casting long creeping shadows
Down upon the streets and meadows
Outside dim lit windows
Opposite soft street light glows
Beneath the skies’
Midnight starlight show
Dogs bark
In an instance
As trees weave in the breeze
Casting long creeping shadows
Down upon the streets and meadows
Outside dim lit windows
Opposite soft street light glows
Beneath the skies’
Midnight starlight show

The Puppet
where am i who
am i i can't see
it all am i just
a shadow on
the wall stuck
in Plato's cave
chained for life
in a false reality
too blind to see
what lies here
in front of me
am i a puppet
a player in this
altered reality
a mind game
meant to drive
us to insanity
doubt destiny
or am i just the
ghost who's too
scared to see the
writings on the wall
am i i can't see
it all am i just
a shadow on
the wall stuck
in Plato's cave
chained for life
in a false reality
too blind to see
what lies here
in front of me
am i a puppet
a player in this
altered reality
a mind game
meant to drive
us to insanity
doubt destiny
or am i just the
ghost who's too
scared to see the
writings on the wall

Envious Pathos
Envious pathos haute tomorrow
Fragile twilight regretful sorrows
Dreams from yesterday's cacoon
Insomnia's memories consumed
Death wandering in oyster shell
As voices whisper, "Farewell"
Fragile twilight regretful sorrows
Dreams from yesterday's cacoon
Insomnia's memories consumed
Death wandering in oyster shell
As voices whisper, "Farewell"

Dealing Tarot
Through the haunts of nature
the moon whispers silently
creeping between cracks
listening to the Tarot
in seance with autumn's call
as emotions linger
shadows become porcelain

Sister, removed
I wish I had known you better.
I wish I could say I tried.
But I – buried under small bodies
and schedules and needs,
with just enough distance between us to be
inconvenient –
And you – for so long obscured from my view,
with my lifelong tormentor between us --
I just thought we’d have more time.
Eclipsed by his tortured shadow
of bluster and opinions and judgement,
she tossed out colourful sparkles
of beauty and care into our family,
touching us all with a thoughtfulness
much deeper than...

In a seance with a tombstone
resurrecting the lonely dead
tasting creation to be fed
from Eden's naked womb
in still waters as shadows lay
echoing torrents of pain
barren embryos and dogbane

my little boat
my
little boat,
sorry
to see
that sun
go down,
now
that misty
darkness
sank
closer
to the
treetops,
i weighted
my
little boat
in a
small harbor,
the moon
overwhelming me,
i lay
awake
to watch
the stars
in their
shadowy river,
falling asleep
in my
little boat.

Some things (and places) are worth the hype
Human-made wonders
can be hit and miss
when it comes to the awe department,
but nature never disappoints.
And human nature,
when at its rare best
can be truly extraordinary.
To see night fall within seconds
under a blazing crown,
and day return just as fast –
truly worthy of all the glory,
and others will write of it
more eloquently than I.
But
to witness it with thousands
who have sat cramped in cars for hours
through towns where “traffic” means
three cars at the...

Ashes to Ashes
Slipping into haunting twilight only
without dreams taunting ghosts
touching lonely in shadow's host
around my Lenovo's alt-delete
leaving no footprints just silence
and burnt ashes of my Philip Morris
with a scent of yesterday's madness
and tears coming down like rain
without dreams taunting ghosts
touching lonely in shadow's host
around my Lenovo's alt-delete
leaving no footprints just silence
and burnt ashes of my Philip Morris
with a scent of yesterday's madness
and tears coming down like rain
