Long Crystalizing Poems

Gradually the crystalizing dawn -- more hardened  
    Than folded steel --- more sharper than 
  The blade that cuts! 
   Wisps of thin vapour, once loitering insidiously...

A toast to a Ghost

On this 13th day, of the 3rd month in the year of 2003.
At a time when 30 – 30 years ago, during the 3rd 
month, on the 13th day in the...

A place alone in solitude-
with space made just for two. 

The dark around is imminent- 
I'm not afraid when I'm with you.

Crashing down like thunderstorms-
which may strike us both down dead.

The winds which pose us...

My love dissipated into the stagnant night.
The element of hope dissociated, evaporating, 
Nebulized by the lungs.
In great heaving gasps and salty residuum, 
It left me
Over the hours, the weeks, the years
you did not come.
Thickly the...

I see the tall, long, skinny legs and the
floor-length blonde hair.
The turquoise-blue eyes, 
Almost crystalizing for my jealousy;
Maybe I do.

I see cuddles and
I see love.
I see endearment and
I see faith in one another.
Or I don’t.

I...

Here I am Queen
Of things unperceived 
My skin shimmers
with an iridescent sheen 
The sun shines
crystalizing me 

I slow down my motions
Meditating in silence
Opening up my emotions
Creating peace and quiet

I ponder my existence
My relative subsistence 
Soaking...

Running from the snow-covered mountain
in a thin blue shirt 
that welcomes the cold 

Running to the ocean that lays years away
The neck of a large blue heron looks over in fear 
it calls out like...

There’s something about winter
Cold air, frozen ground, bare trees
Bringing with it loneliness easily
The dark of night arrives early
With a certain kind of longing
That molds memories of what is gone
Like the color of autumn that passed
There’s...

Left alone, halo hung;
Midst the nightly waves,
Stars in the sky strung
Above the quiet graves.

Just take a chance
In your shallow disguise,
With a mere glance
Into her hallow eyes

The winter moon's glow,
Bound to my delicate world,
Rained its crystalizing...

the rhythmic waves
frothing to and fro
carry Middle Passage echoes
of journeying odysseys

the setting sun severs
the umbilical link
between Motherland
and her children in diaspora

reflecting grains of sand
catch crystalizing tears
of memories of faded shores

the bleeding breeze blows
sea seasoned whispers
flowing...

The faeries were in full force today, 
Christening the snow with the prettiest diamonds.
I stayed inside, watching the ground turn a gorgeous blue-white.
Crystalizing things make them sparkle.

The faeries flew past my window a number of...

China Fading

Hours are many, have become so full.
Hardly a minute, a second to breath.
Meaningful moments are so few.

Only memories of what was known, with you,
are all that remain, of a way of life
scattered among the...
