twilight’s serenade
finding ears on heaven’s face…
blazoned by wishes

Cold Fire
Bach over reaches
Arguments are won in dusk
Time brings to the brink
when you discover
tomorrow's sun
was blazoned in her shadow
legends crumbling
we succumb
to the languid legend

She blazoned in profusion
sour braids stained
by years of catastrophe
macabre salutations evolve
become libidinous farewells
upon the handsome black boughs
lie wicked forewarnings
sheathed within
pseudo-identification...

Brother

Riparian observers watch waters pass
left behind, huddled in loss
our tears added to the flow
memories blazoned in our mind
with each tenuous gasp
we pound the bare earth
love and loss mingle with shock
remember
how could I forget
he’s my brother...

White
petals
rise
above
flames of gold
blazoned
with
a red
maple leaf.
Holland designed
this tulip
around
the
flag of
Canada,
truly
a
unique
bloom.

The future will never wait
So I figure lets channel the surplus now
While there's salt in the flesh
And juices run through veins
In the main feed of life
Waste no time to get it right
Keep crafting like serpent's artillery
Charge off like bandits in the night
Blazoned with the candle of love
Strike me through wanton abyss
Blissful on God's endless pyre 
Inspire the sparks of romance
On this love emboldened...

Forget the idolatry-
mirage-making lucid hallucinogen 
Leaving a head ache quaked dust bin

Where fertile veins go
Be called in the presence of

To stand back and react
Is a twisted affair indeed

Language
Is to voice
Is to body breathing/mind dreaming

A soul on its path
To reach its hidden mission

The world show
Recedes and fades
Like shadows in the woods

Life is for the daring 
Deep sea diver
Blazoned with faith to continue on...

Look at this poppy-seed bread:
Black stars in a white sky,
Outside, an aloe plant rustles in the wind,
As out of place as dead people whispering.
I am not planning to die, however
Will they write my autobiography,
Listening to Fall Out Boy's 'Centuries'
Remember me...
For small recollections
Of a day-time moon,
This hot-cross bun blazoned across a handful
Of wayward seasons.
And I am not making any promises,
But this side of having a cold, far out stars
Are inextinguishable....
