not an inch of blackness can enrapture His eyes
the way i see them in the foreground of death
in hindsight i see a white page
flowers and winter teens
life has gone on and is laced beneath Your royal blues and violets.

My soul is unkempt

a weed-fraught field

or a moss growing wild.


In daylight or nighttime
in thoughts unraveling

and flesh bare

and breathing slowed

I’ve more room to travel
from failed love to new heartache

Un-solid

absorbent and unrooted

Unclarity is key.

The river eyes in faerie-light.
Wind is in the hound’s breath on the bank
of the bends,
riverroundabouts.

Five-finger’d leaves threat at the touching ground,
Spiderweb swings around veins
as a leafsong ripples through the ears.

Leaflet boats seen through beetle eyes
as yellow-white floods
the dark corridors of rods and cones.
A wonderthought,
wanderthroughlust. Earth between
the ridges of skin
holding tight to gravity
softens underneath lofty thoughts.

Ribbon bark, cracklelight
reflects upon the brow,
as green-dwellers crow
at the pollen in the plow.

Cotton arches tingle against a silky current,
and leaves are lips as trees are tongues
of blushing Mother Earth.

Steps are sprints upon moth grounds,
wings the veins of re-coupling birth
of ecstasy and safety,
home amongst the fog.

Autumn

I sat beneath the old maple tree, mind transporting,
soul cradling memories.

What had just become, it could not process.
Numbness due to flurrying thoughts.
These moths trapped, reeking of recollections so antiqued.
Let me free, let me be, cruel Aphrodite.

A postcard of Love: the ocean:
Deep, ambiguous, spectacular.
Calm and comfortable as the sun is red at night.
Terrifying, unsettled, as storms rip through its skies.

Once I looked into your eyes, passion throughout,
I was never the same.
Love: your irises composed of shades
unlike any I have ever seen.
Love is held within, reflected in those coffee-stained spheres.

Love is the black hole.
Darkness thrives in negativity, infinity a possibility.
A phenomenon, a belief held by few,
taking we travelers far from reality.
Love? Obscure, unbounded.
An unseen force,
found only by those who
do not venture for it.

A love song: the bird's song.
A robin, singing for simple needs,
a hearth, comfort, room to fly.
Simplicity, the robin's nest.
Cradling the treasure, the heart.

Sit 'neath an old maple tree.
That is where pure love stands.
Roots sturdy, yet branches reaching
toward a brighter hope, future ascension.
Firm grips on reality, yet dreamers,
swaying to the ebb of the earth,
Life—Love—spinning circles 'round their trunks.
Give them time, those seedlings,
they will rise to new heights.
