Blue Sky, Why

"Blue Sky, Why?"

inside our heart 
is crying.

holding sunflowers
watch their parents die

some the battle's orphans,
daily lose their lives

lying in their sick beds

Open Oceans

"Open Oceans"



Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys

praying
preying

hungry hearts
count the days 

wasting away
in all that preying 

for prayers

strange words

finding 
themselves puzzled

genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to

fumbling
mouths closed,

swallowed hole

Forever

“Forever”



When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,
she closed her eyes
and listened for the notes
her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the 
labyrinthine trail 
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,

always seen to be 
swimming upstream 
against the current

before words, they are cast
