New
moon, low,
and always rising.
Sky
dusted with
stars, coating forever.
Sleepless
sky, awakened
clouds, hopeless air.
Howling
dreams, new
panic, new breathlessness.
Buried
under sky,
I never sleep again.

Heart silently shivers
when the roaring clouds burst in electrical light
mind quivers
Trembling in tears
breathlessness, as stars wane from sight
kohl fears
Inked sky
faded twilight
sigh
Heart silently shivers
breathlessness, as stars wane from sight
sigh

Rhyme
In the speechlessness
of your breathlessness,
I breathe vigorously
to arouse your former arising,
too afraid to touch
a corpse in the making.
Could another's spare years
restore your time?
Could another's breath
bring back your air?
Could my hyperventilation,
like our blended heart,
be split in half to share?

The steamy breathlessness of unending youthful love
Reckless plunges into cryogenic mountain lakes
The sound of brightly shining stars beyond the Trevi
Eternal love embraced in kiss of shimmering gold
Golden glow of dying sun on white Aegean walls
Among first sights and sounds that once took away my breath
And yet, you leave me breathless
still

Blank verse
Through my chest, Winter slips
Her chill as a coat of arms;
Honed breathlessness—
The whitest of white; milky touch—
She has a warming heart's warning,
As the frost dribbles out of Her clutch.
Pass dark's storming
Snow angels by morning
Heavy ice flooring
Through my chest, Winter slips—
She has a warming heart's warning,
Heavy ice flooring.

Whisper my name like a song,
Let me know where I belong.
On your lips, with breathlessness,
On my heart print happiness.
When my eyelids flutter closed,
All of me to you exposed,
When you watch me timidly
When you think that I don’t see,
When I drop my gaze and blush,
When my heart beats in a rush,
Call my name and hold my gaze,
With shyness that your eye betrays

Couplet
O glowin' rays on creation yard
Graceful panoramic blooms
Flutter my aspiring heart
With flaming fervor afternoons
Tis' awakens my soul's being
To the day's bright glow
The crimson of shining life foreseeing
In its glistenin' radiant pet·i·ole
Floating in open space, discreet
With quiet gentle breathlessness
I journey over the posy feet
Close to the flowers of my 'Genesis'

And if my feet don't find their way,
if my hands
can no longer grasp what they want,
if my ears cannot tell apart
the songs on the favourite album
and my mind forgets that it used to focus—
may there always be
in the shell of me
the memory of
the inner constellations we explored
together, the breathlessness
of that journey, the drawing
of breath at the same time,
in the same fleeting place.

ABC
Trees blowing in the wind of the moment
Now flowing they lend nothing at, towards
To them they speak the language, sacrament
The love of the daylight hours with awards
Seeing a lady sounding scraping swords
Feeling the bark of the tree suffocate
Like a smash in the stomach, penetrate
Leaving a mark of breathlessness, no sound
Taking the toll of whispers, signals fate
With no one but the lonely left around

There’s a gentleness to the swing of the hammock,
a relief in the sharp breathlessness of a cold breeze,
a satisfaction from the soft and prickly grass between my bare toes,
a sweetness as my warm fingertips clutch a mug of chamomile tea.
I daze intently at the baby blue and pink sky,
waiting for the dazzling sunset that a Scottish summer promises,
calling me back whenever my roots need to be fed,
reminding me of the place I use to belong.

Atop highest cliffs there stands a monastery
Surely nirvana's nucleus of timelessness
Determined come what may in spite of breathlessness
I'll touch its celestial gardens of harmony
Craving kind Himalayan hospitality
My soul in uphill climb pursues euphoria
Seeking mystical mythical utopia
Mountains sing the praises of immortality

Enclosed Rhyme
.Consequentia (L)
(A lone voice whispers)
Like the Sagittarius A* Black Hole, at the centre of our own known galaxy.
Does getting older make you slowly swallow more and more former memories?
To wallow in bygone years spent with family, friends, lovers and enemies?
Like this Senryu below looking at the weaknesses of human nature.
Found in all human semidocumentaries?
Breathlessness Desire
Adolescent Memories
Old age consumes all
