Long Crepuscule Poems

How long will this dreary night go on
Seems years since the dawn of morn
Why does anxiety keep me awake
What is this burden I cannot shake

Heartbeats too fast within my breast
Too quickly to grant needed rest
There's...

Life, are you a blessing or a punishment?
I'm trying to understand how I'm
a slave to the sculpted version of me.
A prisoner without chains, 
upon a path forged with my own hands,
feeling lifeless, drained from 
premeditated...

We'll meet at sunset, says my lovely Marcellina,

My heart
Like a dying nightingale,
Seaks your company,
Either in doleful silence
Of twilit evenings,
Or enfolded in joys of endless love,
Of your warm and gentle arms.

And it pipes its most beauteous song,
Into the eerie crepuscule,
Perched upon a tombstone
Waiting...

You're a brutal brute who barks at the sheep clothed in your bite marks.
The phrases you tattooed within me are maggots crawling into my brain.
While they lay eggs made of tainted Ivory Seraph hair -...

Zenith swirls of black rose petals,
burst into a flock of circling crows,
descending ash and rain on my frozen form.

Viscera and scarlet pools flash,
feet running of a child,
car screeching tires with broken glass.

Tirelessly tapping the ecliptic elixir of modernity
the marionette hurls pebbles at minarets

The rot of this wretched wine vivified his rapturous pith
platting the tombs of his sodden salience 

The pangs of arousal cleave onto the inebriated...

Last night together baby, pains my core.

One two three four, one two three four.
La la la la la, la life is gonna stop.
La la la la la, la husk is gonna rot.
Festering in my basement,...

Sun - you are my first orange obsession
Seen my desires floating with the tangerine clouds
And my love drizzles on your marigold heart
Never felt oppressed by orange until you...

White roses grew in my mouth 
Drunk in ambrosial poetries 
Craving for love from a butterfly 
'til perpetual darkness. 
 
Argentine crepuscule stole my happiness 
Caliginous skies swallowed my entity 
Still waiting for her to...

Twilight ascends as dusk arrives,
          the moonlit stars gather and thrive-
Sweet day dreams have come to a close,
while midnight softness does expose-

Stillness comes, quiet ensues at days crepuscule "time"
Humans and animals rest, settling in haimish "homes"
Some with droopy eyes when darkness inks the "sky"

A crescent moon, it seems more and more  stars fill the sky,

UNGAVA


In blackness a lone star jewel 
Hangs over the tent in crepuscule.
Dark fingers creep over the snowy biers:
Ungava’s cold shoulder is not for tears.
Lengthening shadows form the dying day:
Night stretches eternal across the bay.

Gilded silence, gold,
The last leaves' silent fall
Pain silent Late autumn’s
Slow crepuscule

She turns her hands in her apron
Blue patterns, blue
Her smile will never die
The swans swing south sighing

Evening comes soon, sooner,
She insists, at the stove, heat,...
