Midway I
When all the stars from Heaven fell to Earth,
a light was quelled beneath the mantled dawn.
The aftermath lent anger in rebirth
when apathy was scorched by Nippon brawn.
A swift emergence reckoned in retort
by orchestrating strength to...

That Afternoon At Highgate Cemetery
That afternoon at Highgate
When my life had paused awhile,
Old graves and headstones greeted
With their sad and forlorn smile.
Smirched epitaphs stared at me
My call they wanted to know,
Though vowed in pensive silence
With the...

Cloud scant of history, a blazing fire
In the salt sea of my veins, dark shade in the night,
Voiceless and invisible, my desire
To be began in her mantled...

Enchanted House
My Childhood Home
My lovely childhood home, I miss it so...
built Eighteen Eighty-Six, so long ago.
Three floors, all rooms with mantled fireplaces;
carved woodwork, archways, spindled winding stair;
cathedral ceilings, sparkling chandelier
in dining room enjoyed on holidays.
Third...

Waiting Today
Where, like frolicking children, the rivers run
Where planets spin in loop lassooed by the sun
Where the berries grow in bramble brush
Where atoms born and atoms die in finite hush
I searched for you before today, wait...

We Did Not Dye In Vain

so purple-mantled Royals

As the winter drifts with the northern wind
Some high latitude areas of north hemisphere
Will be in the clasp of sporadic snowstorms
Others will be mantled with dense opaque frost

Taking It Slow
It might as well be another late afternoon
when new moon rises, bathed in honeydew
and gleaming with soft weariness: above,
mantled clouds bleach the lanes with first tinges
of blue-gray light, while figure sways pouring tea...

Song of a Cherokee Princess -

where a pow wow stampeedes preconceptions of inheritence,
from Her beaded neck charms of chance & chains of change

on an alter of unworked stone mantled with...

Stars Never Knew the Breadth of My Heartache
I was drawn to her in temporal depth of night,
glancing her way in beams of harvested light
But in mourning her, I wept behind shrouds,
concealed by a hovering bank of sullen clouds
She'd danced for me in...

A Tomb of Ancient Blooms
The afternoon clouds came floating by, rolled over the hills, and fleeting streaks of orange hues flashed the sky. Incense-colored wisps of wind mantled the earth. Like a dream, the flowers withered and faded.

The Steward
Celestial jewel, resplendent in space—
unique to creation, now fallen from Grace.
Once mantled in radiance, sum essence of beauty,
good earth, you embraced both destiny and duty.
By nature you nuture, sustaining all life,
abundant and selfless—yet burdened with...

In Pursuit
Entered the dense wilderness;
Huge trees mantled together,
Seem to reach the sunless skies,
And their tender leaves turn
Vibrant with soft tips smelling sweet.
No golden rays dare to peep
Through their leafy pinnacle,
Where only...

MIRACLE OF CHILDHOOD REGAINED

Like flowing water over a low weir.
Submerging sharp corners; ...

Sackcloth and Ashes
Midnight chimed day assassination,
sudden as a brain haemorrhage,
star-stabbed by psychotic pins;
issues aborted of carbonised wombs
blacked streets, tar-slithered.

I Am a Raven
Crafty, conniving, sly and stately,
I am associated with dead and lost souls,
An ominous bird of yore spawning myths and legends,
A messenger of deities in the mortal world,
I am a wily mediator between life and...

Winter's Snowy Season

Midwinter’s shroud that mantled field and town,
A breath of north resounds across the night,
To leave a frosty sparkle on winter’s gown.
Beneath the moon the fairies come to...

Hope
She left in the Winter
With the fading colors of fall.
As blossom mantled hillsides
Smothering life beneath snow’s blanket
We laid her to rest.
Sweet songs of sorrow echoed the air.
No comfort brought comfort.
No smile brought joy.
