Dark Hours

Shrivelled day,
Mottled charred desires,
Still pursuits,
Dying hope,
Shadowed duty engagement,
We fall and rise still.

Though time, like us, is separated
Into many hours and minutes,
Even our arms, like clock hands,
Will someday meet again.

Evening Hours

What did people do
With all of their evening hours
Before the T.V.?
They told each other stories
As the moon rose in the sky.

In the Darkest of Hours

Loneliness shows who you are without friends, As friends show you the strengths you never had. Written: 1/20/16


After Hours Time

my favorite time

just sitting and watching you

prepare for your day

a routine that's never old

outfit on , unwrapped for night

After Hours

In the darkness
it came,
no more searching in the light

Nothing burning
to distract
—shadows of delight

And, so, with the dawn
of a new night, we met
for song and dancing. 
Stars are made for wishing...
while suns are dear sources
of life.

Purple wildflowers
in the stained moments of day 
Windswept disarray!
Fuchsia passion spreads for miles
Fetching jays and sunshine smiles.

second hour for some deep prayers
third hour for sweet fruits
fourth to read romance poems
fifth kisses and making love

Leaning Against the Hours

I awaited a 
chance in adjustment
and in time,
was uplifted 
int a tune 
of the universe.
Now I can feel
a force of action
Strongly of time.

Were you ever heavily reminded of me in this city?
Was your astral self haunting me in my most recent dreams?
Why am I remembering our life everywhere I go?

Obscurity broken midst night visions
Haunting evil thrust in flight amongst stars

Premium Member Opaque Hours a Structured Enigma

Blurred distortions,smeared stirrings
put aside to make an extract in
filaments of primal abstractions.
Restless movements dripping,drop

Rainclouds threaten in the distance
The meadow ushers a subtle silent warning
Butterflies promptly take their leave
