Short Charcoaled Poems

Lit
Like a
Little spark
Blazes blood red
Wild vampires compete
Black frightening owls soar
Charcoaled skyscrapers collapse
Dry bones of men and women seen 
The solars and lunars shake in shame...!

Clouds as Heavenly rose bushes
     In the sky
Charcoaled veined branches
     Pushing and piercing
Entangled knotted wooden arms
     Acquiring the sky
Captivating territory
     Pressing into spongy soft
Of early darkness.

Molding their wishes into Blue
     Tranquility cut, scissored-in
As hurrying birds chisel their way
     Into darkening
Descending day....

Here I stare
And sketch myself living
Timing every breath
But the clock remains still
Not a moment passes

And nothing
Nowhere or time to go
Trapped here
In this ominous setting
Afloat in this once purgatory
Then once more and again
Impalpable designs charcoaled
Shading my ambit in silhouettes
Every turn I take muted
By the shadows of obscurity...

With flaming lips and fingertips
casting words of cockeyed quips
behind a face powdered in white

than one who waits for you, supine

Painted brows and charcoaled eyes
don't be fooled by a gender disguise
a fool you are if you fall for this villain
party girl who seems more than willin'...

charismatically gifted
 in  conceptual leaps 
  expressions
opening 
          a doorway 
to destiny

moments in time 
           stumato,
from a butterfly mind

 scattered 
with unfinished masterpieces 
of imagination 

 drawings chalked& charcoaled 
with tonal modulation
the inner person
 portrayed 
face on
    in ambivalence
profiles turned to the light
 display emotional depth
through the genius
 of genuflection 
       with touch & sensibility...
