To catch a wolf
become the wolf
where tracks lead distant
to trails beyond
His nose on fire
and fangs bare fronted
to follow closely
all fear withdrawn
He marks each turning
with blood ill letted
to lure the hunter
on death’s foray
This sojourn ends
in wooded darkness
to enter once
— your fate to prey

My Starry Letter
If at once, a god's heart bursts
With flourishes of color
With teeth clenched, lips pursed
They immortalized their lovers
In the stars
If at once, I could reach them
And pluck them in slight
With quill of a feathered Wren
I would write
A letter
If at once, my ink was bright
With the dim light of lovers' lust
And the glow of the stars' sight
Of the world on the cusp
Of dawns and dusks
If at once, I'd write my heart
Into the paper built with my skin
And tattoo in part
The lover's vow on the rim
Of my eye
If at once, this proclamation
Ceases to capture your soul
And turns your heart away, my explanation
Shall be the words off my tongue in rolls
Of, "I love thee,
Love me"

Me n the January Leaf.
Morning prayers, tweets of bird
Wrinkled Sundays,olives in curd
All took fathoms to drag me out
From the blanket of laziness, letted me meet
The crisp n cold but fresh n bold
Blow of year 2014.
"What!" I screamed as year 2013
Left me unbade, I complained I whimped
Then the 'January Leaf' fell n dewed
"Like now I can't be fixed, I can't be mixed
'TIME' greatest of all couldn't be rekicked, surf forth
To play with unceased waves that waved."
