Premium Member Opaque Soul Made Whole
A bullet speaks loud in fleeting breath Fires rage while weaving death The wind cries out in a desperate wail A burdened mind dreams to no avail Anger smolders waiting to rise A tempest brewing in disguise But a smile from you is bright Thawing hearts and restoring light ...

Opaque World
The suture on my broken heart is torn, beyond repair. Not even the veneer of your love or kindness can bind it now. Crimson crystal drops drip, as I labour to liberate my heart from this opaque world... where no one sees me. 10.27.2020 Excerpt from "Free my heart" For Greg Barden's...

Premium Member When Life Encounters Opaque Space
When gusty winds blow, riling my troubled dawn in gelid woes Squall of my throes dissipates in scented whiffs of budding rose. As brazen fog shrouds mind, heightening my grief, poking fun Defyingly I step out in glinting rays of the dawning golden sun. Refusing to surrender when my tears dominate indignation Joy I find on the vibrant horizon,...

Man and the Bird
Haibun: Man and the Bird Something is opaque in the sky; he cannot read it. There has been some throbbing in the heart for quite some time but he is mentally uncertain about the emotion behind it. He is thoughtful between any action or inaction. eagle’s direction is fixed wings closed, it dives into the lake- a fish dazzles...

Premium Member Opaque Sleepers
Drowning in our incubus sleep, phantom enemies are devised. Easy answers for night terrors. Social purgatory for the stranger, Our river Styx for the brown ones. Our fortress must wall them out. Brown poverty is culpable. Starving families must be criminals. Racialism winking and nodding. Jingoism sneering and taunting. Everyone knows the words. ICE round up the suspects. Our delirious sorcery making police raids. For us wall builders,...

Mascara’s  running smeared, the vision has left her faded;  The road up ahead looks hazy  a wicked taste of  the unknown;  A shimmer in the dark illuminated,  there is clarity in a little bit of uncertainty; Infinite endless possibilities, blissfully no clear direction;  Fireworks light up a constellation,  she’s addicted to the free things;  dizzy on the energy around her she gets high on a stranger’s...

Premium Member 'opaque Reverie'
On gossamer wings my life floats into my mind, cloudy shadows vague, puzzling and perplexing; it seems my life has been more like opaque chapters, sometimes the darkness, is fogbound and murky. Yet, some unfathomable reverie brings me sweetness, clouded in dimness, blurred and hazy and beautiful; I linger in my reverie, in the mystifying mist of time, and when it clears,...

Bathe in opaque lakes water waltz with unseen things who is watching from the hills do you feel secure and clean? Can life change within the splash? you can inherit disease find a pod of pearly things or smash your spine on a devil stone make love to water lily or gently stroke alone. Jesus was fond of water I think poor...

Opaque Grey
beneath the hazy bough i lay amongst the prey of opaque grey impenetrable souls seize like tides and nebulous love fears what time hides blurred without a third eye to reason with my heart my enigmatic mind delights in what craves to depart beneath the hazy bough I pray obscurity and disarray become debris to throw away- amongst the prey of opaque grey 11.26.19 Opaque Poetry...
