Respite

 
Pause
to ponder
day diminished
‘neath majestic oak
winter bare thine leaf
where goes no shade,
dreary
dank
damp
here I cooled
mine restless heart
when warm and
overflowing
bursting
yet it yearns

Genesis

blackness tumbles o’er horizon’s edge
fertile there where dawn lays low
breeze whispers spark her embers
blooms afire when stars retire
                 ~ ~ ~

Words

would I have said them yesteryear

as my mind inclined me tell

for fair heart struck me then

but then a starlit child at this

let fear’s rush stay me

from the who I think I Am

Opus

Enveloped

slithers by Indigo moon

wrenching, afflicts

ravages deaf silence

busts the rivets of my abyss,

explodes my desperate peace.
