Pondering a Winter Dusk

I ride the bus...

Tilt a bit, balance-
ponder later. Yolk yellow 
and sky blue, chalk

grey paint. Steel
rectangles; winding parallel 
lines. Circles- Eternal.

Toothed horizons-
golden rose shaped sunset
tauten, its nectar 

steeps; blushes. Inks gnarled
columns of trees, dusky, their
limbs webbed crosses

open to royal skies like
birthing petals, feathery
in twilight of Spring. 

I drive a car...

Hyroid barriers.
Knavery fears. Strands cut like
shards. Glittering. Seamless.

Oily image-
tints of bereavement- becloud-
diabolus gullet. Shock.

Cruer pissades through
sea blue veins, weaving its course 
through the body. Left

turn, straight. Right turn. Stop.
Rotary-circus. Yield. Go.
Emblazen. Exit.

Sunlight through drops
shaking off of Summer green 
canopies-Diamonds-

imortally. Eve, 
Adam. Male, female- supreme. 
Insanity. Gods.

Brilliancy from 
inception of star clusters.
Time-worn. Creator.

Diabolus Amare

It has no rain,

for there is no sun,

there be no reasons for children to run,

there is no light at the end of the road,

there is no kiss for the prince of toads,

there is no love as strong as this,

as the eyes of a snake and its powerful hiss,

only those days in which i miss,

could love so sweet not come with a kiss,

my hope is gone,

an i sing this song,

for all things we dreamed is only but done.
