Day by Day

My Pain is in the cutting edge horizon.
Merciless, Tremendous & True falling sun.

But I found my Love cloaked in silence and night:
Deep glittering pool; O Heavenly light.

Then, My Hope Eternal Rises Glorious,
Resplendent  & Pure as the first kiss.

Wasteland

Barren land. Icy wind. Life lie still in stillness. And Howler, Howler scream.

Summer (2008)

It was years ago,
under painted western sky,
We swam in crystal water
on the longest summer night.

Nestled in a Promise,
Cherub laughing all around,
Our cups were running over
Dripping dreams on silken ground

Ethereal falling star,
Running down black velvet rope.
Sighing long…a splendid song
Beneath the rainbow Hope.

Tornado

Break! Twist! Waste!


Moths eat complaints.


Board up the window & door.


But the grinning seeps like poison


on skin.  

Honor

A tear escapes running
into ravenous landscape


Mercy 


Water


blue & golden.  Young.

Mean

Fear marks the face of time
Crimson, black & smoke.


The far off thing, the symphony 
plays again.


The drummer …. rising
O be still!


And softness billows as silken fire
& I am lost in bliss.
