Long Enshrining Poems

Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.

of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

From ashes of Sokovia, a twin sister rose,
With powers of chaos and psionic flows,
Wanda they called her, tethered spirit unfurled,
As women before her, she reckoned this world. 

Her pain born of loss, and hurt tragedy,
Fueled...

Rows and rows and rows of white crosses,
Like sentinels -stone-fixed to the ground.
The wind like a shroud wraps around them,
Enshrining each space where they're found.

Stone guardians stand at attention,
Into the distance -row after row.
O' mourn...

And the cemetery was littered with debris
While I paced the graveyards in crushed marble,
That seraphic figures draped the woeful air 
Enshrining those long gone…names forgotten
By time’s entombment of a shrunken past 
As black roses moved...

Elder jays roam  the tainted winds in herds,
Alighting  upstream like most  holy birds
Into  the threshold  of  an inky  night,
And  journey forth  with  brave rafters, onwards
For...

In a valley where our hands etched the moon
Through luster of nightfall’s October veil;
We shared confidences through hazed monsoon
As I rambled on, keeping each detail
Of common views…angels, books, a jazz tune
While a serenade for two...

Cloaked in beige, the park awaits new dusk-time
and there again owlets will start to chime,
through gentle rain,  silence lays all around
while leaves russet glide unto Autumn’s ground
as maples hide their flesh in lean display
where...

The season’s fest imbues a bliss
As the grove blooms in morning’s kiss;
Where dainty festoons are aglow
Through springtime’s reign, young couples flow
Along bright paths, they reminisce.

The wind blows with scent of flowers
A lyre's music thrilling the...

Now  that the leaves turn amber  brown,
Memories  gather to unfold
On life's journey, its seasons’ crown;
As tomorrow rides … warmly bold.

Memories gather to unfold
When deep patience bestows time's flare
As tomorrow rides … warmly...

As  streak of evening wanes on treetops
I  flit away to guard  man’s dwellings;
My calm eyes watching  a hollowed time
Evanescing gradually  into the night:
White- feathered  tip  carries an olive...

A shapely Spruce or Cypress to dress 
A coiffed girdle the base to caress

String of lights bristling foliage to redress
A twinkling symphony to luminesce

Pristine pine cones providing a rustic essence
Gilded ornaments to infuse decadence

Frothy snow exhibiting...

It's grimly harsh to dwell alone
As onward creeps the biting frost,
That in a  quiet of night’s chill
A warm embrace is my heart’s need ...
For with this season's change,  I know,
How love reveals its...
