Monday, Monday

Sweetness Ordained

Can you remember
a smell
or only a fact

Can a bakery
in passing
free a memory lapsed

A sensory 
flashback
its sweetness ordained

Olfactory joy
surviving time
— and the flame

**

Breathing Closer

Death
I hear thee coming
but still see thee not
Death
your chilling shadow
Atropos casting lots
Death
 breathing closer
inhaling my soul
Death
by day silent
— the darkness extols

**

Dark Symbiosis

You heard me whisper
I heard you cry
You tracked my footsteps
which bade goodbye

A star crossed tandem
in shared release
Dark symbiosis
— of love’s retreat

**

A New Calling

Don’t ever let life
deprive you
of what only
death can claim

Each day of excuse
and diverted
dreams
will lock your hope in chains

Only when final
divinely
inspired
and stepping through the wind

Toward a new
calling
and fresh paradigm
— are we blessed to rebegin
