CONSUMMATING THE WORD
In the beginning was
The Word
Consummating it is
becoming Wordless
I fly them through windows
onto tarred roads
where tyres tread them
into Earth’s crystal blue gem
I consummate the word
like planets swallow comets
one gaping glance and

without a letter

A Consummate Kleptomaniac
This is absolutely out of this universe
That a consummate kleptomaniac thinks
That he has the right to steal any ranks

Of the hills. A

Metaphors and similes exude when scripting poetic verse.
Across pale parchment, the poet's pen continues to traverse.
Ink courses like life blood, rushing through his eddied veins
as he ignores cramped fingers while writing echoing refrains.
Each stanza arranged by sequence in the creation of a story.
Sometimes his mysterious muse dances wildly with allegory.
He reins her in when he

occipital orbs gleam fiery poker hot embers
