Premium MemberA historic flood

...A
historic flood
forgotten except in
tucked away 
newspapers
which a reader
runs across and
due to an assumed
overlay of time
apparently
avoids the freedom
arising as what
is happening~~...

...The sunshine band, ember sunset.
Stunning swans' graceful elegance
Serenely swim, one can't forget.

Overlay peace yet endlessness
Cast, swayed in the balmy breeze, yet

Summer to fall,

So thrilling,

The sunlight shines golden

Insomnia

...
by method of falling 
into sleep I count the things     I’d trade

                                     -would I die

its illogical at best

PAIN AND LONGING

...PAIN AND LONGING 


Reluctant wood lay
marbled down His spine

fuse blown by a wick, of litmus tongue in your senses-
her moods shifting chameleonic shades everything at once

...on the waning edge of day
sunset rolls white clouds to pink and amber strands
sifting back and forth like a quilt's overlay of color

Beads of pearls along the way
Coats of pink nail polish
With sparkling silver overlay
Easy streets yet broken beats
Of concrete noise in an urban throng
