Short Disassembled Poems

disassembled
    and torn
scattered
    in the fetid
air
    beyond 
        repair
in
higher
     dreams
unheard
unspoken
a
   thousand
        whispers
in
the
night 
    of
       this
           brief 
              transit

inspired

a dank damp cloth of night
covered my face

the lust
that quivered 
a human lake


moving


a specter’s hands
stole Mercury’s face
of banality


together


the fear, 
of hands
that lust

You see a cold touched room,
The remains of a flame flicker.
Hopes are reflected in the embers,
Things that once may have been.

All it's memories are windswept,
Insides are a desolate expanse.
Turbulent sights passing by you,
They sow doubts and perplex....

Beautiful moments shared in honesty 
Brave talks that opened hearts and souls 
Birthing love with intermediate breaths we won 

Closeness happened and we found each other 
Closing the curtains we opened every window    
Cajoling kindred spirits, mirroring the self.

LOSING  MY MEMORY 


Factual material
In dissembling separate realms
Different lots at an auction sale
Of a lifetime
Purchased with precious time
Time  wasted ; 
Now with instinct feelings
All disassembled
And greater than the separate parts.
 
Jumbled in the lumber room of memory
Lots of material  -
And volumes are increasingly
Missing from my shelves.
I know I had them once
But they’re gone :
Sometimes in the illogic of sleep
They return momentarily....
