The Oak

There, to the nearby oak looms a stagnant figure
yet, timelessly afar, lorn.

Beware the ulterior pond!
I tasted the water, wherein you bathed in the dawn

and the taste of that water, evoked a sudden williwaw 
I gently drank this nepenthe, which I did not own

but now, I yen to withdraw this burden
utterly lies in this bosom

soon annihilate
the wrath of my demon.

Blue Devils

Teardrops in my palms
Shapeless, bitter emotions

I tried relentlessly to caress
The sour taste, warm touch

Burns my flesh.

Is

Is my breath
upon your list

Is my thought
thoughts I’ve made for you

Is the desire
eternal flame burning in me

Is the touch
forlorn hope, lament for the beauty

Is the lull
footloose and fancy – free lies in the garden

Is the wholeness
ultimate high, lay it up in lavender.

A Candle

A candle left
lighting through the dark,

lighting in our land, dearly it mourns you.
A candle left

as it lies by your body, seduced by your ode
futile to tame it's light

solid, illumes the crossed fingers 
entwined.

Birth

You came into this world with such a tendresse, 
when I held you, my arms became your anchor, now,
is the heartbeat that paddles you away from my coast
a lifetime journey, a dreamer duelist to grow.
