I danced …

with an echo -
it knew your name
the notes spun about me like embers that
waltz in the breaths of flame
and die in darkness …
its final iteration whispered me of
your passion’s secret -
wrapped its lilting fingers ‘round my hope
and strangled it like a lover …
one last, loud kiss
pressed to my ears in delicate sin
then drowned

Premium MemberHer Muted Breath


it comes alive, stirring the soul
waking the spirit to a world
painted by snowfall’s gentle brush
like a white canvas, the first steps
across the blanketed path
leave imprints of hope, imprints
revealing what it means to see
silence at war with nature’s breath

it laughs at the hurried steps
of a heart rushing past
autumn’s light as she breathes
her caress, against the sun
who

The Leaves Are Hushed

The Leaves are Hushed

Alone
she stares through a skylight
playing I spy with the sky,
creating fantastical creatures
out of skimming, brimming clouds.

Suddenly 
a shadow swiftly smears a window
staining its filmy, hazed glass;
a corrugated feeling, firm and undulating
settles steel-hard in her stomach.

Hurriedly
her hand reaches for her heart
but it isn’t there…….,
it’s replaced by a beating drum 
which beats and repeats

Premium MemberWe Must Talk In Hushed Voices

I'd borrowed Pa’s umbrella
to shelter from the rain,
alas one spoke is now broken
I’m scared that Pa’s will go insane!

My best friend Jacques was with me
when there was a sudden squall,
I tried to hold onto the umbrella
but it crashed hard against a wall.

So Jacques is walking by my side
and he will take me to my door,
he’ll

Hushed Signposts, Clues

Airborne chameleons

in the snow-blown morning:

dull white, grey gulls flying,

silently disappear 

against dull white, grey clouds.

With Hushed Thoughts

In solitude,  I find calming breath between spaces
Emptiness filled without the sound it replaces
The silence against time in a rush to conclude
I find calming breath between spaces,  in solitude

With these hushed thoughts I give voice to creation
See ink form words full of haunting flirtation
Or quietly smooth out the lived-in rough knots
I give voice

Hushed Gore

Hushed Gore

The forest deep carries the biggest gunners

Those who do the most damage

That you remember the most and worst

The school bully who nobody could master

The boxer that no opponent beat

The soldier who loved to fight

The woman who stepped on men

These people carry the biggest guns

And walk thru the darkest glade

Enormous trees surround them

Here there is
