"You can never kill a poet,
their words are engraved for eternity." Silent One

every time you abandon me, silence is my nemesis.
I'm like an inkless quill reciting a chorus...

Dear me, 
  I breathe you
in the pulse of erased promises ~ 
I'm a shadow in your space 
and not any voice which can be heard
    above restless mists, 
so, when...

Music is an undying 
art of soul ~ 
an abstract eden, where, 
euphonious unicorns 
glide in strawberry sonatas, 
amplifying rhapsody in
ballads of flight, 
when fuchsia feathers
tease those 
jingling breezes, 
infusing breaths
in every lifeless aroma;
where I...

I realize that my body is contiguiting the earth,
perhaps the shore,
because I can feel the sharps rays of the blazing...

Turbulent moves the water mass
Thumping and roaring as it rolls,
Sheltering in her, myriad strange beings
From tiny planktons to giant killer whales

Constant remains she, yet changing ever
The puzzling paradox beyond the land
She had cradled the first...

I was submerged in 
an ocean 
          of rants,
hiding the sparkles 
of my  
poetic 
       planktons.
My meaningless

There’s a story here,

embedded within 

a righteous reef

of broken silence,

where scars remain

engraved on sea stars,

entangled between sand 

in empty oyster shells,

Greater Flamingos flock here*, 
flames of white and pink bring cheer. 
Tall and graceful, standing still, 
playful pecking with their bill. 

As a colony, they stand
