The Blade in the Garden

...I found a blade beside the rose,
its silver kissed by morning’s close;
It caught the sun as if to keep
the fire warm while earth still sleeps.

It did not stir when I drew near,
nor tremble wit...

...He's closed the blinds. His twilight dawns.
	A midday reverie.
Within his mind, a vision spawns,
	awash in mystery.

A levee bursts, torrents crash free—
	a castle from a dream.
Atop his thro...

Forever And Always, For All Eternity

...Infinite love
Has come to an end
The white dove?
Its neck has a bend

What was promised forever
Did not last
Continued for never
And came in last

Eight months
To be continued
Eight month...

...
I couldn't give a toss for the caber
cromach bagpipes sporran or kilt
(a fling's the thing)
and you can stick your dirk in your haggis
up to its bog-wood hilt
yet I'd like to hike thro...

The Widdler

...

A knife lie in her bed, her hand rests atop the hilt.

The satin maple bed frame lie bare beneath her fingers,

And the aliferous knife lie skin warm in the cradle of her hand.

A pile of g...

Of a trenchant penchant

Alright adore southpaw purveyors

Apologies

...Apologies



If I say I'm sorry

I will get my way

Apology to look good

Forget regret, riffs on what ifs

...
Forget riffs of regrets

But

To the hilt
We tilt to 
Inbuilt lilt
A guilt quilt
Can jilt & wilt

Won’t let you fret
Circumspect.. I find
Older you get

Lunar Eclipse

...The moon would be a dull, gray rock without the Sun's light. 
An opinion would be a thought without one's voice. 
A man would be useless without a purpose.

That the river waters are milky azure, surging from melting glaciers
Glaciers pressing through granite masses
So huge they might be clouds held tightly...

I deserve punishment to the hilt.

So, whack me soundly on my bottom,
but please, oh please, don't give me a lecture

Circus Life

...Circus Life

Inside, it smells like death and pain. 
And two beasts guard 
the heart of my brain. 
Puzzles and pieces 
scatter from the hilt. 
My spine breaks under
this mountain of guilt.
