Felt a deepened love so divine....

Jaded love, deepened wound weeps
    Theater dark, actors vanish
        No encore no ovation 
            Flowers lay dying......

ensouling form shaped from earth’s crust
the entity fuelled fires of lust
day by day deepened delusion
lost in dungeons of deeds unjust...

Tides across another stone

Deepened 
Like 
water

A symbol of home

Fish
Or
Quarrel

Do I rest 
Within the habitat of thyown....

At the cost of my very own happiness
I was kept safe from the darkness.
But the way I was solitarily raised
Only deepened how I felt grazed....

German scientists back in the fifties
Created a specimen, half-human, half doggie
But kept it a secret
Moral issues deepened
No more experiments, no further blarny...

the skylark chirps

  of amorous refrains

    mellow as night…

 a winged hymn echoing 

tales of my deepened woes

Yea - therein belies mine enemy, such sot;
Countless battles - tho' not the war lost.
A moth seeking light - a man's deepened thought.
Unlike beer - hearts weren't meant to lie in frost....

A deepened breath
Her heartfelt words
My stirring spirit
Sweet beautiful girls
You whisper gently
So shy you seem
Beyound our eyes
This love I dream..
To hold you close
Your beauty's light
Kiss soft your lips
And make you mine....

Over many years
Love has taken deep, deep root.
Has your love deepened, flourished

A short span of time
Our lifetime love's been given 
Soon I'll love thee even more

The solemn air of deepened peace 
Peace beneath grass where you had lain,
Lain along angels' sacred field
Field upon which dreams were embalmed.

In a deepened streaks of quick darkness,
Pale of  muddy algae
Crawl out along loopholed weeds -
In tangles of puffed cotton
And spiders' webs spread out
Caught 'midst lamb's fiber
As it  wanders by meadow trails

They pressed together
mouth to cheek

under the slow rain
as the mud deepened

and the frame of their
shelter melted away.

They stood under
spots of roofing

when the wind
brushed cold water

droplets from their
pink faces....

Autumn’s shivered eyes
closing over brittle tears;
deepened breath as winter calls.
Late November dreams
of summer’s fevered essence;
life bloomed green in lush bouquet.

Looking beyond our differences,
  the image deepened

Speaking without words,
  the conversation spiked

Touching without holding on,
  all feelings turned to ecstasy

Loving while letting go,
 —the caterpillars delight

Now sliding in peace the hues of day
Maybe this I fully  know
Above the groves, the lonely plains
Of deepened soot and down to where
The busy metro huffs below--
Again I feel the minty dawn
Swell inside my breath  till all 
Of chilly mist is softly drawn.

skeletal remains                                     
ancestral tree  of life
portrait of ruin                                          

valley of dry bones
branches broken and scattered
generations lost

Breath of  life returned
deepened roots of faith grown strong
Epitaph of hope...

One by one we saw close ones die
But ours was not to question why
We sank each time but rose again
Holding strong and quelling hearts sigh

Bound to form and attachment chain
Suffering deepened sense of pain
It was all delusion of course 
For in each life, must fall some rain...

When I met you
I was like a wounded bird
You healed my wounds 
with tender kisses
You strengthened my heart
by giving it love to nurish it
You fed me promises
eagerly I swallowed them
And just when I was able 
to fly again
You battered my heart
Deepened my wounds
And then
You clipped my wings...

I fear Hatred has deepened 
the thickets surrounding us, 
erecting thorns where there 
should be blooms. 

I fear that we have defined fire
as the Condemnation of Chaos
rather than believing in the heat
of its pure, creative essences. 

If there are fires to be spread,
may we be scorched with Love....

One
Tear rolled
From curved corner
Of sadden eye
Light reflected grief
From well-darkened iris
Heavy lashes cast shadows
'Pon gloomy deepened pondering
Pupil that opens window of soul
Pain, agony,bleeding, crushed, marred, hurt heart

Falling…falling autumnal leaves twirled
and coiled on pale of deepened trees;
night’s solstice graces wise age
pondering on youth’s flames...
gentle breeze, be kind
when moons request
for last hours
throbbing
wild!
