Petals smile at Sun
Fishing in the Fog
eyes have sunken
through stilly water
open
asleep
yet drifting awake
inside that other world
thinner than th’ inlying soul
of time
tracking the footsteps
of a Meaning
after surfacing
will pen and paper
at the ready
Remember?
Always Today (from the Time Capsule)
should Tomorrow waylay thee
with whispers from my Heart
‘tis but an Echo
adrift upon our mystic orb
from Night’s other side
ne’er to be lost
Zama
city of Sunrise
altar of Descending God
heavenly tracker
Analysts
caldron casserole
roadkill on witch’s canvas
What are we seeing?
Ferryman
gold ‘neath lifeless tongue
Kharon’s toll to oar the Styx
welcome to Hades
In Another Life
be brush’d away
a blizzard of dust
smothering the walls
of Babylon’s forest
from out of the fading fog
a face
a gaze
entrancing
familiar
intimate
all with my soul
all… in the Now
how I pretend hard
to want to believe
her peer was for me
She… even back Then
Snow Moon
caress midnight’s ivory portal
gentle shadow of my fingertips
her frozen spirit kindl’d to flow
from th’ ebon luster of my lips
till the canopy of my soul
embraces her wholly
sweltering our love
to a frosty florid pearl
so be born Spring
Grazer (from the Time Capsule)
fancy
your eyes
your nose
your ears
the wind in your face
your home security system
for a nervous meal
for some pre-rem shut eye
the fear fueling your feet
your mind’s rear view mirror
in prayer against the preyer
whose victory would buy
an enjoyable feast
an enjoyable slumber
or worse
your eyes
your nose
your ears
on a senseless wall
