Stampede: The Bitumen Blooms
“Stampede: The Bitumen Blooms”
All the promises under the Sun
could never buy time, and
all that glistens on a wrist in a heartbeat succombs
peels away the romance
like tinfoil scraps, wrapped and cutting like razors
into the skin of what matters most
liked barbed wire
around a wrist bleeding
glistening golden brands like some kind of reigning crown

The Draconian Regime Blooms in the Void
when fire strips the field
ashes cool on barren lands—
the weeds arrive first
ruthless, quick to seize the space
filling voids with tangled thorns
when goodness is lost
a vacuum fills the heart—
empty hands delayed
cannot fill the space with grace
so cruelty takes its place
the fall of empires
begins with regime collapse
leaving empty void—
tardy freedoms swept away
replaced by quick iron fist
societies fray
when

Folding Time into Origami Blooms
here I stand waiting
balanced on the edge of time
past draped at my back
the future creases forward
a bloom yet to be folded
creases cross the sheet
the past bends, then re-creases
future folds to match
both entwine though never meet
a puzzle time enlightens
like petals rising
origami takes its form
each wedge takes its place
a flower blooms in the room
unfurling in happenstance
paper remembers
each

weeds and blooms
weed on grassy slope
so unpretentious in look~
with blooms, a marvel
from derelict turf
fair blossoms shyly peek out
something amazing~
beauty springs from hidden coves
giving sweet surprise to all

In the depths of my soul, a question blooms like a flower of light in the night
In the depths of my soul, a question blooms like a flower of light in the night,
I wonder whether to release the reins and reveal what grows in my silence.
I pretend not to feel this calling, like a secret tide touching my shores,
But for a long time, it has danced through my veins like a

What blooms after burning
She was a field–
soft, wide, aching.
He was the match,
small
but hungry.
They met
not in spring,
but in that breathless hush
before things grow–
where hope is still half-buried
beneath frost.
She held the rain
like a secret.
He wore the fire
like a promise
He never meant to keep.
She broke
without a sound
He burned
like it was prayer.
and yet–
in the blackened soil,
something

June blooms With Love
The wages of sin are death
Yet I am dying for you
Dream lover you’re the best
Even if I never find you
You allow me to thrive
My heart fueled by your idea
Smiles from ebony eyes
With hopes to hold you near
I feel uncertain of my fate
That I should ever be yours
But despite I dream of days
We will be together

In the forgotten garden of my heart, you are the fresh flower that blooms
In the forgotten garden of my heart, you are the fresh flower that blooms,
A friend who lights my paths when storms caress my soul,
No matter how many winds blow, you are the unmovable rock in time,
Beside me always, like a lighthouse in an ocean troubled by dreams and shadows.
You know me in my deepest, most
