Faintly, Smiling Faintly
I tell the world of you,
Your smile and your glow.
The fondest embrace you gave
Made a mask full of lies fall off,
And gave tears to a dry set of eyes.
I say, “Nevermore, will I plead
For a burgundy hue to cover me.
Nevermore will my hand scrape for dust.
Nevermore will pain be inflicted
In my beating heart," I

In tumults of time and forgetfulness, in the hidden frenzy of a heart beating faintly
In tumults of time and forgetfulness, in the hidden frenzy of a heart beating faintly,
Invoke the unseen magic, unravel silk works in the deep night,
Tame as a magus who dares, let fall veils of silence,
Breathe into the heavy air movements of shade, cloak thoughts with your watchful anticipation.
In the pale light that wards off unannounced

Her Voice Faintly Heard
Listen to nature as she sings a tune…
Of the mournful cry of a passing loon
Of a croaking frog in a soggy bog
Of splashing turtles falling off a log
Of the sound of leaves rustling in a breeze
Of fruit as it thuds when it falls from trees
Of rushing brooks racing towards waterfalls
You should hear all of these

Faintly So
Soaked eye dish-dog, working in the morning
Hopping on the bus, now get some sleep
Music was a woman, her men she’s grinding
Get to bottom of that basement leak
Post you a smile, flaunting dress
All my friends are looking you up
Said, I’d be here but not for long
I’m grinning, faintly so
Got savings from a joke, he made me

The Barbed Wire Faintly Twitches the Great War
Laying in the morning twilight, yawning, my head nods down and I jerk it up again,
The barbed wire faintly twitches, someone has touched it, will it be a friend or foe,
Shadows float across a near dark landscape then fade away into nothing, an early start,
Machine guns begin rip the earth, and rips the last turf,
