Short Agonised Poems

in the icy darkness
beyond our garden 
foxes are screaming
framed by air frost
stars sparkle above
the clouds of my breath
the moon is weeping
the gaunt branches
of winter trees
framed by the night sky
agonised silent cries
a long note of a flute
wails away into 
the darkness of eternity
...

When I saw you I see 
eternity,
Love the reason I once 
thrive
Had you love me enough
Perfect my life be.

Agonised my heart in 
tune to pain,
Seeker of numb my 
medicine;
In thee my tempt to seek
Wine and merry making,

Dim shade of candle--- 
fake
I listen to your voice,
Memories of pages to 
stain my hollow scar 
On my wall of misdeed....

Mourn for me tonight, Weeping Ash.
Break my heart and all my hopes crash.
Let your gnarled knuckles crack and creak;
Let your contorted mouth still shriek

Silently. Twisted in agonised peace
And calm, you could my soul release.
May the inveigling light shudder
In the gloom and silent thunder.

Cradle my weight in your warm heart.
Seduction or eternal hurt?...

Just          my mother tryin for 
anothur          moment of agonised , blisful but
nevurending          hapiness, sharin with no one hur 
uninterupting          joy until my overly large but othurwise
average          head appears and the docter says, "anothur
regular          ordinary baby, happy new 
year          I'm sory, what did you say his name was"

I was haunted all night by your memory
The moon sang its melody all night
At times glowing, at times dimming
The candle of grief flickered all night

A perfume kept changing its garments
A picture kept singing all night
The breeze stealing the scent of roses
Told many enchanting stories of our love

A hope bestowed solace to my heart
A craving agonised me all night
Travelling through the memory lane
I lived and died all night.
