Two of whom are older and 6 are...

PAINTBRUSH 

Fingertips the bristles of a 
pagan paintbrush 
painting a Tree of Life
on pacified cheekbones 
instead of in liver
from whence it sprung
now it burns to feed
HeartSpace with witty
wood for Eternal Fire

From cheekbones
it slid to jugular...

The pin oak leaves from dormant trees, 
fall on this crisp autumn morn,
as I paint the scene of an artist’s dream;
in my mind this landscapes born.

I venture on a falling tide,
my little ship the current rides
down river to the open sea,
from Carrick Roads first to be free.

I’ve fallen for this girl.
She’s got hearts in a wild twirl.

Now she’s the only valuable...

Let there be light lights,
beneath the intricate furl,
the first to be created; light
colored, attractively beautify,  
exposing all thing to every situation; these light
travelling with speed unimaginable
even darkness can't comprehend.

The light of all lights which...

Sometimes------
Things get so bad
And you can't even tell God
So you prop yourself up in a corner
And you wait for the world to stop moving
And you think that the spin might subside
But it doesn't------
 
So you...

Emotional torment is what has conspired
From a decision I made and reality that transpired
A mistake so great only myself to blame

Lonely Awaits

This gathering furl of past
Rising from love’s once moist heart
Now but dry sorrow
Lingering stubbornly
Where once its canvas
Of vibrant color
Rainbowed the future

Today only flaking memories small
Drift downward
Joining queues of bygone erosion
Where emotions of stalwart bedrock
Once...

I feel like a blackbird trapped in its cage, 
so full of sorrow, guilt, and rage. I furl

And finally you...

EVE OF STORMS

As I look towards the horizon,
Without hesitation,
But with determined yet 
Heartfelt trepidation,
And see a distant angry
Storm forging forth
Its spluttering vicious curvaceous
Fearful advance holds my gaze
With historical ageless
Heartfelt emotions, 
That sink and dive,
And furl...

Memories flutter like Post-It notes,

A Horticulturalists Dream

Green
Dreams on Green
Leafy swayed his heart
In blazoned flower
Sifted the moisture
Of kissing cuddling colour

Sexy even
In their craggy darkly come hither looks
And secret petal nooks
Pondered on description
By cell and Endoplasmic reticulum
And his borrowed breathing

Of Oxygen

I feel a butterfly inside;
its wings are cramped within my breast.
The weight of flesh, o dull cocoon,
prohibits my free flight. At best
I only soar inside; my wings--
gossamer, light, remain untried.
I wait...I wait...until the day

WHERE I AM FREE


My freedom lies beyond 
the cloud of unknowingness
beyond mists of time where
I disappear into olive groves
which furl and unfurl in slow dawns

Here there are no gates
latches or rusty keys
nobody entices with tickets

Hent my heart from wandering concepts of affection.
Recant the murmurs of insecurity that riddled my temple.
Like a slow wound toy awaiting release from a child's grasp and attention.
Toss and birl, whipsawed into the oblivion of...
