Desolation
Wolves howl
As the shrieking cold of winter
Brushes over the barren lands
beneath the endless time continuum
Of the starry night
Aurora Borealis paints the skies
In cool relief
Until the darkness is no more
in the dawn’s early morning light
As the shrieking cold of winter
Brushes over the barren lands
beneath the endless time continuum
Of the starry night
Aurora Borealis paints the skies
In cool relief
Until the darkness is no more
in the dawn’s early morning light

fireflies singing
i heard
the fireflies
singing,
their
lights,
flames
burning
into
the night,
stars
watch
with their
sighs,
and then
silence,
the dawn
comes,
fills the
morning,
the sun
like
incense
for
the skin.

The Lovers
What a cruel thing
To separate two lovers
So deeply intertwined and tangled
In each other
Not with surgeons hands
With precision to save a life
They hacked away with chainsaws
Cleavers, butchers knives
Now both of them are bleeding
Harsh wounds are hard to sooth
A love that once gave meaning
Now rots under the moon
Let’s be gentle with our lovers
They came from the same star
We’ve come too far to hate them
And destroy without regard
To separate two lovers
So deeply intertwined and tangled
In each other
Not with surgeons hands
With precision to save a life
They hacked away with chainsaws
Cleavers, butchers knives
Now both of them are bleeding
Harsh wounds are hard to sooth
A love that once gave meaning
Now rots under the moon
Let’s be gentle with our lovers
They came from the same star
We’ve come too far to hate them
And destroy without regard

Venus
The Shepherd's Hour
The moon is red on misty horizon
Within a dancing fog, and the plains
In vapor dozing, the frog complains
Among the reeds, where chill has arisen
***
Water flowers have closed their petals
In distance far, poplars show profile
Straight and tight their ghosts unseen awhile
And between the bush, glowworms shuttle
**
The owls now awake, noiseless take flight
Rowing the black air with heavy wings
The zenith full, a fainting glow blinks
White, Venus emerges, it is Night *

Abyssus
"And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you" - Nietzsche
My mind contains a special
spiral galaxy.
My solar system of soul's needs.
Billions of starry thoughts
conjoined with very dark matter.
My eyes hunt, haunt and
sometimes flatter.
Within a super massive black hole
I am caught.
Thoughts ache to be heard.
The abyss is void of vocal word.
Speech is through vibration.
Annihilation of misinterpretation.
If it is depth you crave,
plunge as deep as you...

voyeur
i felt
like a
voyeur,
watching
the stars
in their
room,
i stayed
awake
as long
as i could,
but come
morning,
they had
drawn
their
shades,
hiding
themselves
from my
curious eyes.

Stars
In the night sky's vast incandescence.
Stars whisper secrets of wind presence.
Dreams ignite with hopeful persistence.
Guiding hearts with gentle fluorescence.

The Star That Never Sleeps
Through the north window my chamber glows,
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...

A Desolate Pale
Betwixt the spheres, where no light treads
A chasm yawns, where silence spreads
No star doth shine, nor time can cling
In the place where black stars hang, unseen
Aether’s breath, cold and thin
Cradles neither life nor sin
No gods dwell here, nor demons scheme
Only the void’s eternal dream
The winds do howl, though none draw near
A dirge of forms we dare not hear
Shapes unbidden, unseen, yet felt
In their shadow, even chaos melts
What horrors lurk in yon abyss?
Not fangs, nor claws, nor serpents hiss
But...

A Black Star
Lo, in the shadowed eaves of night’s dark keep
Where no sun’s solace nor moon doth creep
A black star hangs, unblinking, cursed
Its baleful gaze o’ th’ heavens reversed
Yon lightless orb, a wound in the firmament
Doth whisper foul in tongues unsent
A hollow hymn, the void’s decree
It singeth not life, but entropy
Hark, the wailing wind doth call
Through barren wood and ruined hall
The stones weep blood, the roots do writhe
As life is scourged by death alive
The air is thick with dread's foul breath
Each mote a...

10 Wondrous Senryu Poems
Lost in Confusion:
Mystery enquired
Paradox alienates
No truth and purpose
Fallen Suddenly:
Thievery question
Fragility foundation
Unstable collapse
Imagined Expanse:
Above atmosphere
Observational below
Connection wondrous
Idolatrous Guess:
The gift of the stars
Deceitful ultimatum
To expect answers
Separate Conscience:
Physics fabricate
Presumably literal
Spirit spatially
...
