Long Peppering Poems

"Salvage"


Salvage the fixating salvation 
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside
treasure climbs swimming 
the ladder from the deep of all things 
reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping

Reminding...

freefalling, pirouetting unnervingly,
unstoppably, unwaveringly... zipping

into infinite...

Into the petal’s gentle soul
Poets go beneath the bud
To caress the sweet nectar

Where flowers learn to charm
Poets go inside the heart
Of a lilac’s lavender blush

Poets go…

Reminding me of the loneliness that exists
Amid shattered memories and lost dreams

With whispers of disillusionment
Thrown in there for a peppering
