Taste a Sunset
Lick
The ocean
Candlewick
Dusk in mauve
Inhale salty coasts
Lined deep in indigo blue...

Across the Memory Pond
A Candlewick bedspread,
it must be Blackpool or Paris.

A towering sadness,
for she is lost between the waves
of there and now.

Moonlight above the 'Golden Coral',
Wednesday is half-price for seniors....

Travails of Vivisection
The future dubs.
A pride is shattered.

The philanderer moon
sprawls over the
candlewick.

A ghost walks 
through the wall.

A thin blade of
grass, holds the sun
for ransom.

Fireflies flutter in head
savagely.

I was not able to sleep.
What was the theme of the murder ?

No sugar, no salt
was worthy of death.

Street Lights
Imagine a life set so selfless
that even sinners couldn't help it
but carry the weak and offer
strength to helpless.
but this life we lead on
is a cliche' blue song
because we don't even know
when it's right to move on
we don't even know how to fight
to move on
so we might as well get a grip
ingest life till' it's gone.

so I sit here so still
can't believe I'm feeling still,
the candlewick burnt out
tonight on that window sill....

The Gray Crumbling
I used to roll inside a blanket
hide from the blood-soaked wide-eyed;
mind shuttered, ears deep into
the soul of a candlewick womb.
At such times, dad would enter my bedroom,
tickle my ribs until I had to laugh.
Today, grey blocks are crumbling,
the wide-eyed are being eradicated,
because they are really, basically
ethnically not Ukrainian,
the great encirclement is chomping.
and there is no candlewick comfort,
just wide eyes....

Broken Wishbone
My eyes fell closed as I watched a dark night sky
A chance wasted of hopes pinned on stars falling
Candlewick atop my cake, flame did defy
I feel the fates to my dreams are stonewalling

I plucked an eyelash with a deep breath inhaled
But the breeze beat my breath, another wish failed
A last chance hinging on thanksgiving alone
Alas, there’s no wish, on a broken wishbone
