The Missing Season

The Missing Season
27/07/2020 

Whiffs of summery air grow startlingly unfresh
Dying like a withering dream yet almost deathless
Ruffled by an impasse of a senescent, uncrossable viaduct 
that goes beyond my knowingness, beyond my conception
Of an unknown...

I chanced on him on my track to school
He was baronial and majestic as ever
Clothed in his outfit and elongated tunic
Clenching in his hand a printed work

The nugatory schoolboy in me promptly surfaced
As I proceeded...

Where did she go?


Where did she go, that girl in the photograph?
Suspended in time, preserved like a fly
petrified in amber, and petrified by life.

Where is she now, that girl with furrowed brow?
Beautiful yet fighting for survival. Youthful
but prematurely...

When An Innocent Baby Appears...

Anytime we ponder over life 
to extract its meaning
from unexplanaible causes,
hopelessness smears our sad faces
with an implacable grief;
but suddenly an innocent baby appears...
born inside his mother's womb, 
changing our prospective
and supplement us with that 
new...

Autumn's Breath Brings Grief

Autumn's breath makes the willow weep with grief,
for her leaves dangle as brisk winds begin to blow.
She cries for their demise, whose lives were too brief.

Now Is the Winter of Our Discontent

Now is the winter of our discontent,
For our sins, we shall repent.

Chalice of Ambrosial Dreams

Bespangled 
she sashays up the shore 
from a sequin gowned sea
wearing the undulating waves
of aquamarine and ambrosial sheen
adorned with shimmering and shivering seeds of excitement 

A thousand beaded fingertips
trace her coral curves
whispering sweet nothings
in the...

In Place of Me

A marionette
A puppeteer
By hand divine
I must appear
To stumble for
A crowd besmear
And languish in
My aging year

What joke did play
This puppeteer
To seize the strings
To watch them leer
My wooden heart
Hush beating near
In time opposed
I see my fear

PLASTIC SURGERY
~~~~~
The now senescent sands, lost beauty, 
suffering plastic surgery two tides a day. 
Back when, the tides revealed its beauty.
Man, so remiss, it hasn't stayed that way.

Metaphorically speaking, as sand can't age
