After Summer comes The Rains
i love the summers torrid, their Stark feel
time when the winds hold the time still
wherein the mirage waving like a dream sea
where silhouette twist their eerie entity
zenithal heat, vertical sun, burning limit
zero shadow, Dante's inferno, the sky's lit
zephyr of a sighing giant in the gaping air
under a disk flaming, sending sizzling glare
it feels like time is always and ever hot
lose any reviving, any freshening thought
but,to such flaring flames, the more i light
every flaming pyre, in the deep of night
there,...

A Dance of Shattered Glass
The glass doth break in shards
A splintered, shining rain
As crimson trails, like wounded bards
Sing low in whispered pain
The broken light doth gleam
A fractured, silent cry
And in the blood’s swift, pulsing stream
Life’s fleeting colors lie
Yon scattered glass doth show
A twisted, darkened art
A portrait born of pain and woe
Writ deep within the heart
Each shard, a mirrored face
Reflects the crimson flow
A moment’s rage, a brief disgrace
In blood and glass laid low
A splintered, shining rain
As crimson trails, like wounded bards
Sing low in whispered pain
The broken light doth gleam
A fractured, silent cry
And in the blood’s swift, pulsing stream
Life’s fleeting colors lie
Yon scattered glass doth show
A twisted, darkened art
A portrait born of pain and woe
Writ deep within the heart
Each shard, a mirrored face
Reflects the crimson flow
A moment’s rage, a brief disgrace
In blood and glass laid low

Those that stand the tallest here, this world will cause to fall
Taranis chose the fallen night to split the hour that often softens,
Imposing pressure, caressing me, lulling me to feel the call.
Quietly then, he seemed to sigh, soothing me to nurture caution -
‘Those that stand the tallest here, this world will cause to fall’.
Splintered bark, the yawling growl announcing union overlooked,
How slicing struck the scolding grip, splitting, spitting slivered gleams,
Who can trace this instance’ source, now envoy of this stark rebuke,
Or is it invitation only, this sudden thrust to the mouldered dream?
How...
Imposing pressure, caressing me, lulling me to feel the call.

‘Those that stand the tallest here, this world will cause to fall’.

How slicing struck the scolding grip, splitting, spitting slivered gleams,
Who can trace this instance’ source, now envoy of this stark rebuke,
Or is it invitation only, this sudden thrust to the mouldered dream?
How...

the blue of his shirt
the blue

shirt
matched
the color
of the
ocean's
hands,
watching
the wind
fill
his sails,
he floated
on the
waters
like
an empty
shell,
he was
pushed
further out
before
he was
swallowed
up.

Between Hurricanes
There's nothing romantic
about dying together.
There are those minutes
where one goes first,
leaving the other to suffer
the agony of what they loved most
is gone.
Staring at the corpse
of love removed,
and then waiting their turn.
Morbid then; I'd want you
to die before me.
Your pain would cease first
and it would bleed into me,
as I held you tightly.
I'd then die doubly weighted,
with our goodbyes
and emotions turmoiled.
And that's okay.
I'd cross my arms
over my chest ...
about dying together.
There are those minutes
where one goes first,
leaving the other to suffer
the agony of what they loved most
is gone.
Staring at the corpse
of love removed,

to die before me.
Your pain would cease first
and it would bleed into me,

Reave The Sky
Beneath the night’s cold veil
A silence thick and deep
The stars begin to pale
As darkness starts to creep
From out the void it came
A flash without a light
Not fire, nor burning flame
But shadows taking flight
The tenebrous lightning rends
The heavens, black as stone
Through starless skies it bends
With power yet unknown
No thunder follows fast
No storm to howl its name
But in the void it passed
And nothing stayed the same
It splits the aether wide
Unveils the darkened seam ...
A silence thick and deep
The stars begin to pale
As darkness starts to creep
From out the void it came
A flash without a light
Not fire, nor burning flame
But shadows taking flight
The tenebrous lightning rends
The heavens, black as stone
Through starless skies it bends
With power yet unknown
No thunder follows fast
No storm to howl its name
But in the void it passed
And nothing stayed the same
It splits the aether wide
Unveils the darkened seam ...

Coming Storm
The wildness of the wind and turbid green sea
Beckoned me
Leggings & shacket hardly enough
to ward off the icy dry
Driven into face and hands
By the wild currents of the skies
But I cared not!
Along the sand I ran!
Seagulls bracing the raging wind
With them my spirit flew
Soaring on the ravishing wild
Of a coming storm
Seek me out, Love!
Find me free beside the roaring bay
Take me, Love
Free the wild inside my fantasy
Press me, Love
As this cold air presses hard my body
Release my Love
In...

Soaring on the ravishing wild

Vulnerability and Hellfire
Sometimes
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you

Paradise Lost
It was Milton who said it best,
as to rule or serve,
by putting Satan to the test
with fallen angel nerve.
By now I bet that MAGA knows
the difference very well
when the Gulf of Mexico blows
their heaven into hell.
They'll blame Libruls for migrant wind
that poisons all their blood
with something not as lightly skinned
as bluebloods in a flood.
But Trump bibles don't float so good
when nature blows you down,
into your flood plain neighborhood...
when climate comes to town!

by putting Satan to the test
with fallen angel nerve.

Denial Aswhirl
Just in time to look like a dope;
MAGA...in denial,
dumping on Floridian hope
like a Jack Smith trial.
That hurricane is just a hoax;
no rainstorm ever fell
upon those Mar-a-lago jokes
in drug denial hell.
Now let's see how they drain the swamp,
in Dixie overflow,
when climate change goes for a romp
where coke-heads get their blow.
Say what you will when Davy Jones
rides out Poseidon's waves
on drugged up...conservative bones...
in watery fresh graves!

Sea Me
I set off into the sea
To see a real part of me
Winds start picking up
Sails are swept under and above
White crest of ocean
Mixed with jagged rocks
Think I can ride out the storm of me
But I’m crazy I’m a tidal wave
Churn through the storms
That come upon my vessel
storm picks up winds adjust
All I see is white caps diving into the black
A moment of calm before my storm
Realize this is my day of my being
Waves sing high and crash like a symphony
Of all things...
To see a real part of me
Winds start picking up
Sails are swept under and above
White crest of ocean
Mixed with jagged rocks
Think I can ride out the storm of me
But I’m crazy I’m a tidal wave

That come upon my vessel
storm picks up winds adjust
All I see is white caps diving into the black
A moment of calm before my storm
Realize this is my day of my being
Waves sing high and crash like a symphony
Of all things...

Home is where I want to be
The night came on all dismal and profound
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be
