Flower Inconsoleable

his wounds blended
her eyes wilting smudge
tombs spectral disgruntle fates
tragedy quarry mortal ~ epitaphs blink recall
streaming petals to seep
a bearing sacred-weep

Guardian Sky

night’s solitude
mystery hidden
in a starry tear

Moment’s Ink

taboo of linger
written words
stories that haunt the breath

freedom crept in silence
ocean wash of stillness
home sun within a self

Fusion

willow water wraps tears
change constant in breeze-branches
of curious moments

the strumming of eyes:
rain harmonizes water
to pool melody-reflection

DNA scribbles of words
alive within seeing
faces of meaning
thoughts sketch each stroke of portrait

Catapult Breath

inhales slow
within
exhales of moon

trolley of wishing night
each star lands
a stop

Silence Swallows

Parchment of her tongue captured
the ink of his words

the splay
of ache beyond
a sound

Delicate Undertow

words sleep-drown
the crash ocean

constellations of mind
wide awake

quiet melt
dew drips
love condenses
a silence…

Exposed

moonlight to bathe
naked

a thought-peal
skinny dipping

Canyon Sky in Hush

His blind void captures
her startle:

burning visions:
falling stars;

blue sky deepens twilight-scales

History’s originality hears
time’s echo speak

a babble waiting
for a silence
consumed

with understanding.

Her ink of demeanor
swirled
his pen to weep

Breath’s Prelude Prayer

Reaching hand
a voice:
the children

Wishing to stand:
flickering awe

Enemy struggle
blind

Magnitude stutters:
A silence…

A silence
curious

No time to see who
will help

Vanish becomes common
rise-day-we sun-balm
fall of lost winter

Healing springs
beyond seasons of labels;
humanity flows blood in coo

Stench veins flaws
shared

Crying out: the spot
of Lady Macbeth
mortal quake exposed

All vulnerable and worthy…

…grace has no enemies

She bares death
not sleeping;

He confounds dead
not sleeping

The road weeps
history’s silhouette

not sleeping…

Antigone’s ashes of words
reminds

to bury the dead.

Myth-tragedy foretells
hope in wail etching grains
luminous beyond…

breath’s ocean-drowning-scope:

mortal
just mortal puttering
in spasm

inhale complete
within

exhale of longings

Oxygen entwines scarlet
rope-blue

Floating swell…
(a pause: a quell)

…as tears kneel
