On the cusp

A watery grave

if you will, how

dreaded
chameleon,
Autumn on cusp —
green leaves hanging on to
                   their youth.

poised precarious, point perched,

To the mouth of Hades

Bring light to this touch 
To find the cusp of Mars

And worlds have 
Eyes to capture
This moon...

That tepid tea, civility,
Is not the drink for such as me!
Thou cusp, thou nib, thou pricket, prickle, tang and tine!
Thy wit lacks width to grasp my line!

Yet again, sand trickles through
From top to bottom
Subtle way to remind us
Cusp of eternity waits.

when winds wisp dust into your face
do you close your eyes to embrace
what was once and yet to be
particles of the very first humanity

My heart and mind stays in a penumbra.
My first words were these, so told.
“Me do it me self”, so bold.
I was strange in school, I loved algebra

blessed blue sky
we breath
the same light
oh what joy and bliss
that i can see
dawn in your eyes
do not swear or deny
that we shall grab
the hands of love denied and
fly to the cusp of heaven...

Passing each other
on the cusp of goodbye
A prayer of forgiveness,
a desperate last sigh

Feeling the emptiness,

Lost in the memory
—of love we had known

Every where that I am
There you will be
You are a special
Part of me
Like a burning star
There you are
Embracing the cusp of heaven
Still, you are
My light and my strength
All In the name of sweet Jesus, amen...

More afraid and fearless
than I have ever been
precariously perched
upon the cusp of a dream
faith and swollen heart
clenched in either hand
with an eye on the tide
building castles in the sand.

Loving Eve

C Caressing the cusp of her calamitous clouds

A Atoning all angst of my alluvial angel

R Retrieving resolve for roaring rainbow’s recall

E Enlightening Eve’s essence for eternal embrace

On the cusp
Of a new year,

Same old problem~

Covid doesn't recognize time,
Nor circumstance,
Nor masks,
Nor vaccines...

It just is.
