Summer dashing
finding yesterday.
Yea, take it!
You may have it all,
its musty steam and
absent season breeze.
Ask an onion,
Hope is in the Fall.

Intersect
The season tries a different road.
Forked.
Which way to wander?
Am I swayed unto the summer,
Coerced there by the fall?
Vanilla picket fence runs ’round where
daisy blooms paint verdant meadow
stirred them ‘neath a southern breeze blows fickle,
pokes and pelts a restless heart.
I pray of thee
invite me pause
there rest aside you
whilst I dwell in thine embrace,
try snare each moment ‘ere it flees
where hearts like rustling rivers whisper,
their gentle spring come-hithers beckon.
Let them not be lost unto the night
there where him of her his silence pleas,
“Give thine hand to soothe mine sorrow,
rub me clear of all regrets and faded recollects,
unlike youth long gone to live in yesterday?”
Tangled tether ties us to our hopes,
new season sows them, bloom today tomorrow’s seeds
in fertile bed where guiding light assures
No need no more to wander with our youth.

‘Ere Dawn
‘ERE DAWN
I sweat an angst of present blackness.
Ebony chokes tight against my hurried heart.
Thoughts bitter bubble up breathe putrid ash
And drain a molten cornucopia.
Soliloquy
I beg a remedy quells all taint of fears.
Pray darkness light relentless shines the Truth of them,
Shudders, shakes and spits out all the lies they cannot hide.
I pray quick comes the roaring stillness tells the dawn survives.

Entwine
ENTWINE
Ebony light sings
lyrics lilt to
whispers dancing,
spaghetti straps thin
twisted, tangled up
still tango on,
still tango on,
pulsing
rapping
rhythms
stoke the night.
