Sonnet 5: Air of the Burial Ground

Many years ago, I saw the arrival of several ships
They came with a smile and goods laced with their curse
In a short time, they gave multiple populations the clips
The curse ran longer than the promised verse

I have been in the ground with my people before they became a nation
I have seen them born, grown, and

Resolve of a Burial Ground

Came our love with an expiry date,
Sooner that knocked the door, not so late.

None of us wantonly wished to break,
But teenage love in time rusts to shake.

Nor a knot to break off does get tied,
Time tends to loosen, wanes as each tide. 

The twosome on walking together
Awhile found out: our paths did differ,

Whence was warmth

Sacred Burial Ground

Once, in a thought, it seemed how everything
stood without color, either black or white
or marbled grey, were sparrows tipped in flight
then pitched to the barn by a bastard wing
as feed for that, that unthinkable thing,
that thing which hunts and haunts confounded night,
and taunts with words, good morning, impolite,
on afternoons left without anything.
And in that thought,

The Old Western Burial Ground

A macabre garden
rank with smell of green moss.
Silent mouths murmur nothing
as visitors snap and click 
awed in reverence of the raven poet.

Greene and Fayette Streets in Baltimore
a rotten Poe rests here
his beloved decayed Virginia.
Bone to bones on bones timber in mute darkness.

Nissans and GMC trucks 
vibrate their eternal slumber
lying beneath

Indian Burial Ground

The Indian rounds the corner of the room
Seeing the sadness through the eyes of a girl
There are a lot of things about this world that we don't know 
the truth behind humanity the heartbeat of ones last breathe
or the pain one suffers mentally 

I don't even know if people can see the truth
Or if they shut

Burial Ground

Star-studded sky
With blossoming blue light
Beautifying the grace
Of the flowing water
Making an eternal sound
Makes me spell-bound !

Sun-smeared sky
With flooded light
Falling on beautiful flowers,
Dews in the morning
Refreshing nature all around
Makes me spell-bound !

Cloud-cast sky
With thundering lights
hailing the howling wind
In the patter of rains
Damping all the ground
Makes me spell-bound !

Hurt heart-sky
With pleading tears
Praying for some balms
On the wounded

The Burial Ground

Our common end
we're swept
out of sight
and the bird
lies on the ground
neatly hollowed out
by the army of ants
an awesome flying creature
reduced to a few feathers.
