From the dust, they left undone They ran in horror into the fix Hid hoarfrost in thickets and bramble bones Her ember spirit shone through the dark Sailed into the night-lit stars opened depths, As only one could fathom in her lark Pouring herself into all of creation. Lovers Torment She rose before me Ember…

There you’ve shut up inspiration and awe Darkened a clear sky And fallen mountain ranges with a single thought With an ocean of dreams now quiet Hiding in its depth in the night Hoping the sun never rises Dare I whisper anything? That time will not be the verse That killed the gods To show…

Heaven and Hell are closed and abandoned The remnants were evicted for self-indulgence And petty theft of life and love, Man has returned to paradise From the torments of half-hearted demy gods. Crocus is Adam’s brother Echo is Eve’s sister Who walked the earth? With a bride of eternal beauty Their souls close to all…

This summer’s heat has rolled in On the waves of so many others On the very course U.V. rays Cut memories like that fiberglass rash Or as soft as falling petals Of daisies, roses, and apple blossoms Then the sun drifted down From the afternoon curtain of light The early afternoon sounds Of lawn mowers,…

I think about how I see every day from words Twisted visions secrets of pain and broken truths Sometimes fine flowers drooping heavy of perverted torn art Pieces together a child that rants heavy black smoking words Hiding in the shame and humiliation in the annex that behooves Any calm day hides the thundering storms…

In the autumn of a life The sullen sky The damp lain on our shoulders Like blankets hidden sorrow Fear grows and disdain Aches in a child’s gut Far away from the house of trust In a mile of woods Where all the colors sunk In the hearth’s season’s gloom Wraps its talon into the…
