Obscurely Poems

Ever Illusive Beam

...Some people write of
things they know...
feeling more daring,
I prefer to explore:

left ajar, on a path
I obscu...

The tide did turn.
Now Vlad is famously bad.

The Namesake

...The home nestled in the hue of the blue hills,
on the wall of my longing there hung a mirror,
opened my one way window on the wispy sky,
like a bird I spanned with the wings of youth.

Amaranthine Skeletons

...Therein, laying dormant,
    veils of darkly reposed
          secrecy 'neath
       foamy seascapes' 
              frenetic passages,
languishing below

Hillside Lyric

...The fresh air delivered no scent at that dawn,
When i was awaken without single yawn,
Saint trinity's bell was sharp-slicing through mist,
The last of the doubts in my dazed mind was gone

The Bard of Gort

A distant lark now hangs in 
Flight.

Floats down his sweet trill,
