Exit Stage Right
Someone slowly makes a move Somewhere in the night A light switch, a lighter Some razor blade laughter Making someone alright For an hour or maybe two Any more, you’re getting greedy Drive her home in the morning Any more, you’re getting needy And who’s got time For that in their life? The dark bishops dismay At this bleak array Of black pawns hiding Just out of...

Premium Member Estrangement
I run and I dance, around and behind, picking up the golden pieces that fall. Chunk of heart here, a bit of soul no mind, shedding your glory, constructing a wall. I follow, needle and thread in my care, trying to mend you to stop my dreading. You keep popping back open, quickly wear, like that old...

She seeks her enlightenment with hunger like a wolf Trapped in a sacred bubble shrinking with licked wounds Pushing out the people once vital now twice pierced With the absence of the presence and the love now just a breadth Of the time she spent asking mother am I empty? Fill my spirit forthright with the...

Premium Member Peace of Writing In the Night
Sunday eventide on the slope of the fire-hued mountain, owls take flight from the pine boughs, I'm sitting by an open window, peace of writing in the night. Hunter's moon, so settled on the ridge and brightly goldenrod, the young days of autumn's presence, sipping cinnamon hot cider, baying hounds in the smoky valley, songbird's evening vow of silence.

Looking In
LOOKING IN Morning, Awake yes, Alive, on the fringe, The dream again, The image isn’t mysterious, I’ve been excluded, His life isn’t inclusive, I peer in a widow pane, Looking for him, My home is vacant, As is my heart, But sharing the house, As if different dimensions, Moving past him, He past me, We are passing ghost, Once vibrant love, I longed for him, Until we reunited, Now it’s not...
