Dream Makers
fresh
half-castes
tranced set eyes
moored wild sparkles
smooched perianths hues
moon chant ripen charm bud
purplish-lacquered functions
claimed space far and few
*cheat death to thrive
warm broad spots
mauve blooms
dense
*Epiphyte: Plants that grow on another plant but are not parasitic.

When I first met you,
my hope and aspirations rekindle
as I approached you,
my heart went into captivity,
which made my body to be full of activity,
your soothing voice was reassuring,
which made me feel more alluring,
then later my aspiration and dreams
varnished like a mirage in the desert.
I dropped all, so as to remain viable,
yet,I was rejected to be accepted,
I tried to remove this great tumor,
yet it lingers,it lingers like weeds
that choke up the young plant in a vine
Even though it is mundane,
which has not been ordained,
I still love you,
but love is not enough.
I closed my eyes to wake up
to see a new damsel,
but the old one persists like an epiphyte,
The feeling is great,
the emotion is intoxicating,
Yet,this enigma remains with a stigma,
I am confused and bemused,
As my feeling is being abused,
Yet!,love is not enough.

This canopy has choked out the light
making the forest of life redundantly obscure.
a coffin for my home; where trees form walls,
confining me to this empty space.
Night comes with it sighs of painful,
sorrow - filtering through vegetation.
Shadows breed coyotes out of darkness,
hidden in acres of howling, and taunting.
Where I am a cursed duck with one wing
stuck on a fence, my compass set north.
Everything is looking down from here;
so willfully strong but, direly bending
to twist, and tangles of over growth.
No need for changing locks;
those slithering vines
made their way off
with my valuables.
From my prospective
time is left on the lease,
but I have already vacated,
gone away - away like the sun.
