I am a fragment on this sphere of Earth,
Not even a dust speck...

Dark is the night and full of terrors
The dark powers that leads to war
And the fireball is strangled beneath 
the horizon

The universe slowly loses it’s 
candescence
The sky is set aglow with dimmed 
lights from littered...

Square sensible head. 
held together by a thread..

Gypsy moths in the corner
have been there far too long

I saw one bearing Saint Peter's prayers 
the other day.

But he was burnt like the rest.

The clock's hands have...

Dimmer
By: Shannon R. Giedieviells

A chilly autumn night. 
Tolerable when the air is still, but as the wind blows 
it sends the feeling of a frozen metal spike into the spine.

Her pace is steady. Her arms...

Beneath the city's concrete awning,
Sunlight pirouettes through the urban sprawl.
A danseuse of shadows on an asphalt stage,
Nature's pulsations thrum through it all.

Skyscrapers, leviathan bellwethers,
Forge an ersatz forest, soaring high-hearted.
Yet, within the interstices, light clandestinely seeps,

Mantle--a fluid shelf that cradles all existence;
Soil--a table that nurtures all subsistence
Flora--a cultivated canvas that neutralizes resistance;
Fauna--a habituated benefactor of indulgence.

What I wouldn’t give to once more see your eyes,
To see the beauty of another starlit sky.

I’ve missed you, dear, since you’ve gone
And...

She is brighter than dawn
by Michael R. Burch

for Beth

There’s a light about her
like the moon through a mist:
a starry candescence
with which she is blessed

and my heart to her light
like the tide now is pulled ...
she...

She floats among palazzo halls
in teal brocade of lambent silk
procured for ladies of her ilk

while sepia of gloaming falls.
Candescence rises in her skin; 
awakened is her heart within

to hear her lover's twilit calls.
She twirls and...

The beauty of silence

How I love the sound that’s silence
It reverberates through the home
As I sit in adoration,
All contented, while alone

Gentle breezes fill the ether
Birds are chirping on the trees
Scented roses bloom in grasses
Draw attention...

Candescence

Auburn plains spread before me while the sun dips in curtsy to the moon.
Violet hued reds against pastel periwinkles radiate out in a cloud of color amongst the obscuring fog, becoming spirits.

The weeping willow bows...

Life can sometimes be complicated;
Love? Love is simple;

There is no but in love;
Alluring candescence doesn’t fade,
with ripples it glows brighter;

Within the curl of a perfect wave 
lost in a somersault dancing 
head over feet;

Emotions are...
