Frail, compact and sad

Salvations Rests Behind True Faith's Gold Door

Heart mourning under the cold starry night
O' tis the pain cloaked and frigid cold
And yes, it is far from the ravens' flight
The aching years, before the sun burnt old
Midnight cocks are out jumping and crowing
They walk about as if...

The red sun
Rests deep on the lake...

Tinge Of Purple Rests Within My Heart

Tinge of purple rests within my tired heart
Soft touches of a heavy old soul
Now pulling on my heavy empty cart
Often my world seems to be lumps of coal.

I heard thumps of acorns falling on down
That majestic oak sheds its...

'To see is to believe,' and the fact
Remains that all we believe may not be.
I see you, and you see me... but
Love you cannot not see.

si(I see not our breaths,

love,

but I believe we breathe)gh

Would you, could you - After all,
I'm disclosing this mask
Right here in...

Where Rests, That Lost Moon And Its Shadowed Light

Where flies lies, bright gold and fancy will do
Grim Reaper's scythe also cuts grain for sweet bread,
Darkness claims such tripe is novel and true!
Ah but! What shall be found only when dead?

Where rests, that lost moon and...

As Autumn's Beauty Rests In Dying Of Its Leaves
 
( Vae cuius obturatus est signatum manu sua. ) 
( Cuius spiritus in eis audita populi et ceterorum domantur socordiamque effusos)
( Cujus animam servare non curat.)


Years have waxed, waned and far flung since
Newborn dawn's glory, famishing...

Love rests in places that are safe to be
Where there is truth and trust that is real
No shaking earthquakes or storms to see

Love rests with words, you can confide and feel
No thunder clap surprises, consistent at best
Where there is truth and trust that is real

Love...

a kitten rests
after the long chase
dreams of longer tail

All the windows are boarded
the room is big and loud and bright
I never hear doors opening and closing
I no longer hear silence
I can no longer feel silence
the ringing in my ears never stops

I place the platinum chip in the cell receiver
there is no time to...

Pity, The Bread Where Sorrow Rests


The night is long, hours drag on by
can not forgive, even though I try
All is dark with bold shadows black
telling me of the compassion I lack

We see with eyes filled with sin
this world our heart rests within
Never seeing the sun...

My heart breaks with those eyes so red,
you lay in silence on the bed-
So many tears your eyes have shed, 
but what a life your grams has led. 

For so much beauty she has seen, 
and spread her laughter, so serene-
She kept her garden neat...

Rest, stirring heart,
Narrow-minded in your fears, courage close awaits
Though bold your words be, 
Your lack of action gives you away and despairs you
I am amused by your imaginings, 
For simple these worries be,
And strange is your heightened sorrows,
A sadness fit for the about-to-die children,
Begging the...

cardinal rests
in a dogwood
red tulips

mockingbird sings
from a willow branch
alto

sparrow hatchlings
chirping for breakfast
golden sky

a dove coos 
to her mate from pine branch
soft interlude

trickling brook
on the mountainside
duck chatter
