The 8th Year
In confessionals of doubt
he chased absolution
The devil unmasked
—his penance forsworn

Still as a summer's morn
Still as the heart..love lorn
Still as the veiled dawn-
Still as a heart that mourns
Still as a portrait drawn
Stll as memories..time-worn-
Still as ambition...indrawn
Still as a promise...forsworn
Still as an idea...inborn....

Premium Member Time Spent On Rhyme
With all the time I spend on rhyme
    in vain pursuit of beauty
  I neglect to help my fellow man
    and fail my forsworn duty

  So this vow I make right now
    Do not think I take it lightly ~
  to rig up my toilet to fertilize my lawn
    and flush it day and nightly...

Quiet Darkness
Quiet Darkness

Quiet darkness envelop me
winged intruder, lights dissolution
soar beyond day’s raucous din

Leave me in somber solitude
seek solace in myself, soul intact
beyond lacerating tongues

Reviling others call “nevermore, nevermore”
unwashed congregation, nor unholy pact
pull me from a life forsworn.

Stephen (Stoic)...

Still
        as a
                summer morn..
a youth
lovelorn..
               the
               veiled dawn..
 a heart
              that mourns..
              a portrait
drawn..
of memories
                time worn..
ambitions
withdrawn..
                a promise
                 forsworn..
an idea
inborn...

The Memory Box
High in the closet,on the topmost shelf,
A plain paper box lies smothered in dust .
Inside, bits and pieces of life,
Strips of silk, binding fragile memories.
Spirits engaged in an endless dance,
Destiny's cord unsevered by circumstance.
Scattered images of unrenounced tenderness,
Tainted only by the musty scent of promises unfulfilled.
Priceless momentos of another time and place,
Just a plain paper box tucked safely away in forsworn silence....

re-post inspired by John 's contest

LOVE PHRASES
A veiled dawn,alone,without strife
an absent dream,a love that
could never be,an allegory in a
simple code.a promise forsworn,
an ebbing tide,abandoned to the past.
This serenade of love.Passion’s word,
a haunting theme of the inexpressible
this play within a play,that secretes
selfless love,a passage of light to my
soul,and all was fine,beauty was asleep
innocence dead.

From my Cameo 2008...
