Creation

How does your heart stop?

Does it have the discipline to be your ally?

Or does it sink you when you needed to survive a pounce?

How does it leap from pulse to pulse when his touch teases you?

How does it infuse you with life when his many kisses please you?

How does it jump and echo

When he says your name,

Or looks you in the eye?

In those moments...

When he communicates with things that words don’t say?

SOUNDBITE

With you

    I abandon

        all my mental maps.

Lost in the whirlwinds of the north

Blessed by the stars of the distant south

Invited by the dizzying foray

of a tormented heart

This is where my soul will rest.

A CYNIC

Split-seconds from salvation,

          she walks away.

Pulls down the curtain to lie in bed all day

A dreamless slumber is her desperate prayer.

“Danger, just turn around and close your heart.

Announce no more pain

Or lessons from the past.

Reeling…
    And feeling

               Oh, so lost in this fairground of hearts.

         

Anthem

My breath quits,

I will not resist.

You are the ghost who whispers into my ears

Who propels my pen 

    in every prose that I write.

And the melody 

    in every sonata that I play.

You drove the winds that made me swoon

By birth, 

My death, 

My rapture  --- 

My every cathartic heartbeat in between.

The unassuming, UNKNOWING, unnatural force

     that swept me from the tide.

My Haute Monde of villains

     who made me unmask and pour out

All the darkest colors into

     These paintings that I cast.

Wind my key, 

I am ever willing

To paint a thousand new pictures of you!

An Ode

Please see me, in this black water where I hide

Because I’m still composing HER

My awkward invention

To lay out a nocturnal prose

That I can carry in flight

Like a jar of light when reality’s winds are harsh

Like a balm I rub on my psyche whenever I feel like I’ll only live for a day

Like a sacred oil I’ll anoint my soul

Once it’s time to sink in the horizon

The essence of me would still thank you

      even when I am no more.

Because once, you blessed me from the black waters

An Ode that I’ll write,

     Yes, “I lived that life before.”

We Are Reborrowed!

ON MEMORY ---

Pain has nothing on us. 

We stand smiling

Spirit and bone

We stand free

We stand alone

We’re in tandem with time

And holding court with our wayward child

Even if it cries from that mortal pinch

It grows a halo from any wretched trial.

And so ON OUR MEMORY,

You can always take a stab

Because all your insults, and all your jokes

Dissolve in our cerebral life like smoke

Even if we constantly break our begging bowls

One feeble call,

with a flimsy cloud in hand

Archaic, unmoved...

WE ARE REBORROWED!

Will THE MUNDANE MINUTES MULTIPLIED BY THE CRUEL HOURS

Find us just being dropped

Into this moment?

Stay!

Go!

I don’t know.

This is a risk that we take.
WE ARE REBORROWED!

WE ARE REBORROWED!

One feeble call, with a flimsy cloud in hand

Archaic, unmoved...

We are REBORROWED!

We are Re-borrowed

Will THE MUNDANE MINUTES 
MULTIPLIED BY THE CRUEL HOURS Find us being dropped Into this moment? Stay!
Go! I don’t know! This is a risk we take.

Meet You at the Crashing Of the Waves

Meet You at the Crashing Of the Waves

Harken, stand still, yes, upright ---

Heathens in their delight!

Unbrookable silence of the HURRIED CHILD.

Arms, sweat, salt and sky

Choreograph a silent soiree of feeble minds

Let’s take this out in this harsh encounter

Under the turbulent clouds

There’s split-seconds away from salvation…

Don’t let it take you!

The rich dark blues are waiting on this endless waltz.

Come out of the woodlands and spill

That liter of light!

My pail is full of insects and worn out lace

And besides ----

The sun kept beating down on my rain-torn vessels.

Damnation has nothing on truthful moments

Would you ---

Turn left, or turn right?

Do we acquiesce the plan that has been laid?

Relax,  even if the water carries out to nothing

But a brittle twig

No judgment or damnation awaits

BUT JUST TELL ME WHAT I’VE FORGOTTEN.
